- Hey everyone, I'm Mindy from Cute Girls Hairstyles.
I'm here with Rylan and if you can't tell
based on our colors on our clothing today,
we are celebrating.
- Valentines.
- That's right.
So we've got another great Valentine's hairstyle
for you today.
We are calling it the double heart ponytail.
Whoo whoo!
It's so cute.
So if you guys didn't already know,
if you click the bell down below,
next to the subscribe button,
it actually notifies you when our videos go live.
So you can be the first ones over
and join us for power hour.
Now if you aren't familiar with what power hour is,
it's the hour after we post our videos
when we're commenting back and forth to you guys live.
So it's super fun.
Join us, click the bell,
and let's go to the hairstyle.
'Kay, to begin this heart hairstyle,
what I have done is pulled her hair up into a ponytail.
I've made it nice and full in the top
and secured it with an elastic.
She has really thick hair
so we actually did double elastic right here.
I'm going to take my rat tail comb
and I'm just going to divide off a top section.
So you don't want the top section to be too big.
You need to get four braids out of it.
So you can kinda figure out based on your own hair thickness
but the majority of the hair still needs to be down
in the ponytail below.
And when you have it figured out,
then e're gonna just take this hair,
kind of have her hang on to it for one second for me.
And then this bottom section
I'm gonna divide into five equal pieces.
(bright music)
Okay when you get your five sections all sorted,
then I'm just gonna take clips.
You can use like little alligator clips
or clips like these or even ponytail elastics.
Just secure 'em with these
so that they're kind of separated off from each other
and out of the way.
So when we're ready, we have five pieces here
and we have our one piece here that we're now gonna divide
into four strands as well.
So we're gonna have five down below and four on top.
'Kay, now with these four pieces on top
you just wanna create regular braids about halfway down
and then we're gonna secure 'em all with elastics.
Okay now that I have my four braids all completed
and I have my five pieces here.
What you want to do is take a braid
in between each section of hair.
So I'm just gonna lay this braid here.
And then this braid here.
This braid here.
And this braid here.
So now you can see that I'm sort of collecting
the rest of the hair in this left hand
and if I go like this
you can see the braids are not hanging through down below.
Now I can take all these clips out,
'cause we can join this hair all back up together.
Now we want to go like this,
just kinda give this a nice tug.
Pull it through and take the rest of the hair at the top
and secure it with an elastic.
You can see for now I've left the braids
just hanging down below.
Now, I want to go in and I'm just gonna sort of pull
those four braids up.
I'm gonna stick, kind of like a finger through
to give 'em a little room.
So you can see that there's like
a nice little pocket right there.
And I'm just gonna keep pulling.
But I'm trying to just pull the braids.
Keep pulling and pulling and pulling.
And what this does is begins to form our heart shape.
Tip your head way back babycakes.
Can you see the heart shape forming right here?
When you get your heart to where you think it looks good,
then you want to take another elastic
and secure the braids to the rest of the ponytail.
And you can use clear elastics or black elastics
or whatever works for you.
Like this.
And then you can go back and release all of this hair
so it just merges with the rest of the ponytail.
You can either pull the elastics out or you can just cut 'em
if you have a little pair of scissors that will work.
(bright music)
Okay once you have the hair all secured
you can fluff the bottom of the ponytail
and now you just need to shape the heart.
So I'm gonna have her tip her head way back.
Now we don't want it to just look like loops,
so I'm just gonna kinda pull and tug.
And what I wanna do is use a little bit
of spray wax on these heart braids right here.
And then just sort of tug 'em and shape 'em
so that it looks more like a heart and less like a hoop.
You can blow dry 'em or just hang on to 'em for a second.
And give 'em a nice pretty heart shape like this.
And then I'm going to just cover up that elastic.
You can wrap it with hair,
you can wrap it with a cute little ribbon.
Just because we wanna continue our Valentine's theme
I'm gonna do a cute little bow here at the bottom.
And let the red ribbon hang down
to accent the pretty little heart.
So cute.
Okay, let's do the final spin.
So cute.
Our little double heart pony
and this darling little ribbon accent.
I love it.
It's purrfect.
- Purrfect.
