Step-by-step directions for Frozen-inspired Hairdos

Both books are widely available at bookstores and online.

Here are the steps to some of the most popular hair-dos.

Elsa’s Icy Braid

1. Curl the hair with medium-sized curling tongs. It’s best to start at

the bottom and work your way to the top.

2. Lightly backcomb the hair at the top by the root.

3. Take hold of three fairly large locks of hair from the sides and start

making a French braid (see the Braidschool, p. 5).

4. Add fairly large locks to the braid and keep it quite loose.

5. Continue making the braid down the length of the hair.

6. Pull the ends of the braid. It works well to hold onto the end of the

braid with one hand while pulling its ends with the other hand.

7. Put a small elastic band at the end.

Anna’s Braids

1. Divide the hair in two sections. Make a shallow side part at the

front. If you have a light hair lock or a ribbon, by all means fasten

it in the hair on one side.

2. Bring all the hair on one side over the ear and divide it into three

parts. Braid the hair, with the lock closest to the face added first

into the braid.

3. Put a small elastic band on the end.

4. Take a small lock from below the elastic band and wrap it

around it.

5. Pin the end down by placing a bobby pin behind the braid

and pressing it. You can also use a small rubber band, which

holds longer.

Tiana’s Bun

1. Put all the hair up in a high ponytail.

2. Put a hair doughnut around the ponytail and pin it down loosely.

3. Distribute the hair from the ponytail evenly over the doughnut and pin the hair against

the doughnut. It works well to fold the hair into the doughnut to conceal the ends.

4. Pin the hair securely all the way around.
