Red Light, Green Light

I used to love this game when I was a kid and this hairstyle kind of reminded me of it. 
Start with a small section of hair in front that is secured into an elastic.  Use your Topsy Tail to make a Pull-Through.  Spray the hair down really well so that it's wet and comb it nice and straight. 
 About an inch down add another elastic.  Grab a small piece of hair just below the elastic and create a Wrap Around.  Do this again another inch down. 
Now gather all the hair, including the little section you just completed and pull it into a ponytail.  Grab a section of hair from just under the elastic and create another Wrap Around over the whole ponytail.
  Go down about 1 1/2 inches and place another elastic on the ponytail and create another Wrap Around. 
Do this as many times as you can - depending on how long your princess's hair is. 
Finish it off with a flower clip.
 It looks like you're going and stopping, just like Red Light, Green Light.  :)

  1. This is so cute! I love it, but am a little unsure how the wrap arounds work... I would love to try it on my daughter and would love some clarification or an instructional picture or two! ;)

  2. Sure! When yuo've got your elastic in the hair, grab a small little piece of the ponytail (from just below the elastic) and wrap it over the elastic a couple of times. You should have a couple inches of hair left on that little piece that you'll want to feed through the loop of a Topsy Tail. Now poke that Topsy Tail through the elastic and hair wrapped around it(in the back of the ponytail so it's hidden) and pull it through. This will secure the rest of that section tightly back into the ponytail. Hopefully that helps! :)

  3. P.S. - I also have a post that I've done previously called "The Wrap Around" and that may help also. :)

  4. Thanks, Julie. I tried it this morning and though it took a couple of tries, I figured it out. Loved it! Thanks, again!
