I decided to do a hairstyle on my 2 year old son. I chose to do this because its hard to find hairstyles for boys, especially if they have long hair. He hates when his hair is in his face sometimes, so this is an easy up-do for him.

Supplies

16 rubber bands (grab extras just in case they break)
Water spray bottle
Tangle spray (optional)
Detangle brush
Pin tail comb

Step 1: Brush the Hair

Damp the hair with the spray bottle
Detangle the hair with the detangle brush (starting from ends to roots)
Spray the hair using tangle spray (this helps with knots and less breakage)

Step 2: Middle Part

Use a pin tail comb and make a middle part. This should separate to a left and right side.
Choose one side to work on at a time. I'll start on the right side.

Step 3: Section Off One Side

Using pin tail comb, section off 7 parts.
Split each section into 2 more parts
Part 7 should only have 1 part at the bottom
Secure each section with a rubber band at the roots

Step 4: Start Three-strand Braid

Take section I and start 3-strand braid
Take section 2 and start 3-strand braid
Criss-cross section 1 and 2 (making an "x')
Section 1 crosses over to section 4.(Let go of section 3)
Undo the rubber-band in section 4 and secure both sections together with rubber band
Start with Section 2 and cross over to section 3.
Undo the rubber-band in section 3 and secure both sections with rubber-band

Step 5: Braid Ends of 3 and 4

Braid section 3 in 3-strand braid
Braid section 4 in 3-strand braid
Criss-cross section 3 and 4

Step 6: Secure Sections

Section 4 crosses over to section 5 (let go of section 3)
Undo rubber-band in section 5 and secure both sections together with rubber- band
Section 3 crosses over to section 6
Undo rubber-band in section 6 and secure both sections together with rubber-band

Step 7: Braid 5 and 6

Braid section 5 in 3-strand braid
Braid section 6 in 3-strand braid
Looking at section 6, the section starts off not being braided anymore after securing parts together so you have to re-braid each section as you go
