When we were little our Nana used to tell us that our part looked like a "freeway" (you have to hear it like I do in my head because it has a great Cuban accent to the word freeway!). Anyway, this simply meant you did not have a straight part.... so of course it makes me laugh to know that now the "freeway" is in style! So in order to stay true to MamaSalon style I can't just do a freeway (aka zig zag) part... I have to mix in a gazillion other things, right?!?! So here is my Zig Zag Freeway, mixed in with the 90's interrupted ponytail, add a few french twists, a few bows and wa-la... something cute and different! Don't worry, it is way easier than it sounds! Not easy enough for Nana, but then again I am not sure if Nana would have been able to do this back when she was younger either!
OK so step by step!
1. Lets start the freeway (ZigZag part)
2. Now make two small ponytails in the front
3. Now the best way to put bows into any child's hair is to attach them to the rubber band before. So prep the bows next.
I like alternating colors - be creative. Simply tie the bow to the rubber band then add it on top of the other rubber band
4. Split each small ponytail in half and twist each section to the right individually- then intertwine them by twisting them the opposite direction (left). Secure them with a rubberband. Add this to a new sectioned
ponytail on each side.
5. Continue this on both sides all the way down. I like a bow on every other one. At the end you can keep them as separate piggies or join them into one ponytail as I did.
