- Hi, my name is Bonnie Argo,
and I am a Disney super fan
and professional hairstylist.
And today I'm gonna show you how to do a ponytail
that is inspired by The Little Mermaid
with the help of my friend, Chloe.
- Hi.
- So first,
I'm going to section off
this side by her right ear.
And we're taking four sections,
so my sectioning is just taking apart
and parting it from the front back.
Okay.
So, to do a rope braid,
I'm taking two sections,
and just make sure that you're twisting
both sections to the right.
To do this rope braid,
I'm twisting both the same direction,
and I'm wrapping it over.
It's very simple.
So what's your favorite part about Ariel's adventure?
- My favorite part about her adventure that she swims
and she meets Ursula,
and she turns into a human being with her legs.
- Oh my gosh, isn't that cool?
- Mm-hm.
- I was so excited for Ariel when she got her legs.
But how cool would it be to have a fin?
- So you can swim in the ocean.
- Oh my gosh,
do you love the ocean?
- Mm-hm.
- Okay, so I'm done with this first one,
and I just sealed it with an elastic at the end.
And now I'm gonna create the second section
by parting again
from the middle
of her head,
and then I'm gonna go in
and do another rope braid.
Split it into two sections,
and make sure that I'm twisting it
in the same direction,
and wrapping it over.
If you had a mermaid tail,
what color would you want?
- Yellow.
- Yellow?
That would be fun.
- Cause it's my favorite color.
- I love that.
Okay, so now I'm done with this second rope braid,
and I'm just gonna tie it with an elastic.
Okay, so now we're moving on to the third section,
across the top of her head.
And I'm going to do another rope braid
toward the back of her head.
Your hair is gonna look so cool.
- Mm-hm.
(laughs)
- What's your favorite thing about
getting your hair done?
- When they wash it.
- It feels good to get it washed doesn't it?
- Mm-hm.
- And it's fun when you can style it different ways.
- Sometimes I play with my mom's hair.
Sometimes she falls asleep.
(gasps)
She says she gets relaxed when I play with her hair.
- That's so fun.
I totally get that.
Are you having fun?
- Yeah.
- Okay, so now that I'm done with
the fourth rope braid,
you see we have one, two, three, and four.
I'm gonna form the three on the left
over to the right side of her hair,
and put it in a ponytail,
and I'm gonna leave this fourth rope braid
out for just a second.
So you can do your pony tail
at the middle of your head if you want in the back,
but I think it's just so cute to do
it kind of to the side.
So remember,
I'm leaving out this fourth rope braid,
and I'm just going to secure that
with a ponytail.
Make sure it's good
and secure in there.
Afterwards,
take that fourth rope braid,
grab a few bobby pins,
and I'm going to take it underneath her ponytail holder
and wrap it around.
That way it hides the ponytail holder.
It's a cool little trick.
And then I'm gonna dig the bobby pins in right here.
And you don't have to open the bobby pin,
you can just thread it in there.
And make sure if your hair's dark,
you use dak bobby pins.
If your hair's light,
you use light bobby pins
cause that will help the bobby pins not to show.
And then I'm gonna go in with some glitter.
(gasps)
Do you like glitter?
- Yeah.
- So much fun.
I'm just gonna go in
and just put some glitter through her hair
at the top by her hairline.
And then,
put it on each rope braid
just as an extra little detail.
It'll make the rope braid pop.
Okay, and there you have it.
You are ready to swim in the ocean, girl.
Do you wanna look at it?
Yeah!
So excited for you to see it!
Wow!
- I love it!
- You love it?
You see the glitter?
- Yeah.
- And look at all the braids.
I have just the finishing touch.
- The Ariel dress!
- Oh my gosh!
- Let's try it on.
- Oh my gosh,
I love your dress.
- Thank you.
- How do you feel?
- Like a princess.
- Yeah, look at that hair.
Show it off, girl.
Oh oh, that's amazing.
(upbeat music)
I had so much fun with you today.
You are so beautiful.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Bye, guys. - Bye.
- Thanks for watching.
- Bye.
