To help celebrate Valentine's Day, here's another heart shaped hairdo. Instructions are show for the ponytail version, but this is also really cute as pigtails. (This picture is from a long time ago!)
Begin with a front piggy. Put the rest of the hair in a low pony, being sure to leave the tail of the top one out.
Braid two sections of the lower ponytail at the sides. Make them as even thickness as you can. Secure the ends with a temporary clip.
Pull the braids up and then back down to add them with the hair of the top piggy.
Add an elastic here, careful to keep the braids at equal lengths on either side. Split the hair from the tail in half, and tuck them behind the braids.
The braids will make a C shape on either side. To get the sharper angle at the bottom of the heart, you can fold them up and add another elastic on top of the pinch.
The ends of the braids will be much shorter than the tail of the pony. If they pop out the sides like in the above picture and that bothers you, you can add this additional step. Pull the short ends together behind the ponytail. Wrap a small clear elastic around them a few times, and then once around to whole ponytail.
I'll admit this makes the bottom look kind of weird, but that can be hidden with a flower or bow. (Satiny flower clip from Gimme Clips!)
