This hairdo is a classic style for girls. The procedure begins with separating hair down the middle. Take each pigtail to create a simple low plait. For variations, position the plaits above the head and secure with bobby pins or twist them into buns and then secure with pins.
You also have the option of positioning the hair in pigtails that are secured with a rubber band over the head, and setting a ribbon in the rubber band. You are then required to plait the hair in a typical manner, weaving the ribbon in.

Side Plaits
