Cute Hairstyle 2014

If you care to venture back to our earliest days on this website, you will find several tightly twisted or braided hairstyles… some involving a zig-zag part.

I stumbled upon my earliest hairstyle album a few weeks ago and found a photo of this style that we have never filmed before. Today is the day that we show you how to create a Zig-Zag Twistback!

My 3rd daughter volunteered to be our model, and here we show you first how to create the zig-zag part, and then how to incorporate four twistbacks into a super cute tieback.

You could actually use this hairstyle in a combo with a bun, for a super beautiful updo! Feel free to tag your own photos of this hairstyle with: #CGHZigZagTwists My girls often wore this style to sports activities, such as soccer and softball, because the twisting pulled the hair out of their eyes. Better yet, the hairstyle stays fairly well after a long active day! That being said, this twistback hairstyle can also be worn by girls of all ages, especially as “half-up, half-down” hairstyles are very popular right now! Enjoy! Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 small hair elastic, 2 alligator clips, spray wax or hairspray, accessory {if desired}. Time Requirement: 5-8 minutes Skill Level: Medium Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. To begin, comb all the hair away from the face towards the back of the head…
2. Then with a rat-tail comb, part from left to right in a diagonal direction to create the first “Zig”…
3. Near the end of the first zig, take the comb and part toward the left to create the next “Zag”.
4. Repeat this one more time, to create two equal sections of hair on either side, with a nice zig zag part line down the middle…
5. Now go back to the first triangle section of hair, nearest the face and use a comb to continue the partline down next to the ear, or simply use your finger to create a rough part…
6. Except that section, pull all remaining hair out of the way and secure until you need it…
7. Using the hair from the first triangle section, grab a strand of hair near the front and divide it into two equal strands…
8. Begin a rope twist with those two strands {give the hair a gentle twist to the right before crossing it over each other, to ensure the twist remains tight}…
9. Repeat a rope twist, adding in hair on both sides with each stitch, until you run out of hair near the ear…
10. Continue twisting the rest of the strands into a rope braid, and have your daughter hold, or secure with an alligator clip…
11. Repeat Steps 5-10 on each of the three remaining sections of the Zig Zag, which will give you two rope twists on each side of the head…
12. Gather all four twists together, combine them, and secure with an elastic into a tieback on the back of the head.
13. Add hair spray or accessory {as desired}.
