Toddler Roll to Side Pony

My little one asked me a little while ago for a side ponytail.  With her hair being so short and thin, I wasn't sure how I was going to pull this off.  I have done this style on my oldest all the time but had never thought it would work in my toddlers hair.  But lucky or us it turned out and she loves it.

We started with wet hair then we rolled adding new hair with each roll until it was rolled to the opposite side of her head then we secured it with an elastic.

She likes flowers so we added a flower. 

Rolls to Side Ponytail

This is a quick and simple style. 

Start with a small roll.  Rolling her bangs back but leave a couple small amounts of hair around her face (these will be curled in ringlets)

Then roll all the hair starting on the opposite side.  Roll the hair into a side ponytail. 

Secure all the hair on the side with an elastic.

I then put ringlets in the hair around her face and the ponytail along with wrapping the ponytail with her own hair.

Life as We Know it Roll Hair

This style is taken from the movie Life as We Know it. Katherine Heigl wore her hair this way through out the movie.

 Start on one side and make a roll that leads to the back center of her head. 

 Roll the other side to meet the first roll in the middle of her head.

 Hook the 2 rolls together with an elastic.

 Make a cute messy bun



4 Mini Rolls to Ponytail

For this fun style start by making 4 small rolls as shown below and secured them with elastics.

I made the rolls diagonally across the top of her head.

Then I took the side hair from both sides and pulled it into an elastic with the ends of all 4 rolls.

 Below shows a top view of the rolls and sides pulled up.

Then pull all the her hair into a ponytail.  I took a small piece of hair and wrapped the elastic with her hair.

 Finally I made large ringlets in her ponytail hair.



Rolls to Side Bun

This is a fun and easy style that takes about 5 minutes. 

Start with 1 simple roll across the top front of her head.

Make a 2nd roll parallel to the first roll secure both with an elastic

Pull all the remaining hair into a low side ponytail.

From the ponytail make a messy bun.  I always use bobbie pins to control how I want the bun to look.

My daughter requested a flower to add as an accessory.

Toddler Rolls to Sides Up

Start by making a part I always use the far lateral part and I made 4 small rolls across the front of her head as shown below.

Then take the remaning hair on both sides and pull towards the middle of her head.  **Note** Include the hair from the 4 small rolls.

Below is the top view

Last we added ringlets with a flat iron.

Toddler Roll Headband

This is one of the fast and easy hairstyles.  Take her hair from one ear we started on the right side and rolled across the top of her head and secured the end with an elastic.

Then I made ringlets with the flat iron and added a flower for accessories.

Heart Rolls

This idea was taken from Angela's cute posts on Facebook. 

Start by making a down the center part.  At the back of the part make a roll going back towards the front of her head.  Continue the roll around towards the ear and back to the center of her head. As shown below.  (I hope this makes sense if not please ask questions.) 

 Do a 2nd roll on the other side of her head.  Attach both rolls with an elastic down low and into a V shape.

Toddler 3 rolls to Sides Up

First wet the hair this will keep the rolls in place better.  Then I made 3 rolls across the front top of her head as shown below.  I used small bobbie pins to keep them in place until I secure the sides up.

 Once the rolls are in place take both sides of her hair and pull over the top of the rolls and secure all the hair with an elastic.

  We finished off this style by putting ringlets in her hair with the flat iron.  Below is the only side view we could get taken.

Toddler Sides Rolled

Since my toddlers hair is so thin and she has such a sensitive head we do a lot of rolls.

So here is another fun cute roll style for toddlers.

I started the roll on the left side along the front (bang area) of her head and rolled it toward her ear a little then turned it back towards the center of her head as shown below. 

 Next I rolled the right side of her head back to meet the left side as shown below.

 I secured the 2 rolls together with an elastic.

 Last I used the flat iron to put ringlets in her hair.

 The finished side view below.  She asked for a flower at the last minute.
