Welcome everyone to Sweet Pea’s “official” first hair tutorial! She is now two years old, super wiggly, but absolutely hilarious to watch!
I have been asked for toddler hairstyles for awhile now, and Sweet Pea was my only toddler, but my son cut off one of her corn rows with scissors about 5 months ago! We have had to wait until now for her hair to be long enough to film a tutorial!
We love the Topsy Tail, and have used flip-unders in several hairstyles over the years. Princess Hairstyles and Girly Do Hairstyles are also pro’s at showing us how to use this tool in creative hairstyles!
These corner flip accents can be done in any hairstyle alone, or in any form of combination. They are also for girls and women of all ages!
For girls in sports {cheer, gymnastics, volleyball, softball, etc}, it would be perfect to combine the corner flip accents with a simple ponytail or braids.
In the video below, I show you how to create these corner flips on Sweet Pea, using a small Topsy Tail {you can find one at Claire’s, Sally Beauty Supply, Ebay, or Amazon}.
I then show you how I used the corner flips as accents on different styles on CGH#4 and CGH#3!
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, toothbrush, leave-in conditioner, 3 small hair elastics, hairspray and accessories {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Begin by wetting down the hair with a spray bottle…
- Now, part a rectangle section of hair from the left part line to the right part line about one inch deep…
- Secure that section with a hair elastic near the right-rear corner of the rectangular part {for my daughter’s AA hair, I used a toothbrush and some moisturizer to help tame any fly-aways and frizz}…
- Repeat Steps #2 & 3 with two additional rectangular sections so that you have a total of three…
- Gently loosen all three elastics by pulling them away from the head, which will allow for you to flip the ponytail through…
- On the first section, insert the thin side of the Topsy Tail tool through the hair, but under the elastic, in a diagonal direction, towards the right-rear corner…
- Before you pull the loop of the Topsy Tail through, insert the ponytail through the loop and gently flip the ponytail under…
- Feel free to separate the ponytail into two sections and by pulling them apart, cinch the elastic back down again…
- Repeat Steps #7 & 8 for the next two rectangular sections.
- Incorporate any other hairstyle combinations {braids, buns, curls, etc.) using these accents.

Happy Hairdoing!

Sweet pea is so adorable and i know this is a personal question mindy but do you keep CGH3 and CGH4’s names secret. Sorry i don’t mean to pry.
Please,please,PLEASE Maineville Ohio!!!!!!!!!
Mindy! You have saved the day with this one! My 7 year old had leukemia and her hair is growing out, but it is still only about 5 inches long all over. Mean kids call her a boy although we do little clips, headbands, etc. Soooo… she put “longer Hair” on her Christmas wish list! Talk about tearing me up! We love your hairstyles and do them regularly on the older girls. I did this one and she is THRILLED! Thank you, thank you!
OMGosh, Michelle! Your comment brought a tear to my eye, as well! Please give your sweetie a huge hug from all of us, and let her know that we love her so much! xoxo
Sweet pea is soooooo cute
Have you noticed how much Sweet Pea resembles Baby J (birth sister)? Do you keep in touch with Sweet Pea’s birth mom? I hope she is doing well with her two growing kids.
No, I had not noticed because we have not seen many updated photos of Baby J. We do keep in touch with Sweet Pea’s birthmother, she follows this blog. We love her so much! Do you know her?

Sweet Pea is so cute!! Maybe Portland, Oregon?
Loved this hair style. I’ve been looking for ways to do my nearly 2-year-old’s hair.
At 3:40-3:43 in the video, it freezes. Just FYI. And I hope you move somewhere on the east coast! Me and all my friends are huge fans. And the prim braid from a few weeks ago is a little different in the trailer than you have it here, just in case you wanted to make an updated tutorial!
My guess is that you guys are moving out of state, probably somewhere close to Utah though. My guess is…..Ok, fine, umm….., uh…., (random decision)…., Idaho!!! I’m just curious, wouldn’t it be a safety issue to tell your new city to all of your fans? I’m just curious. Wishing you a good, positive, and easy move, thinking, and praying for your family as you make this change. -Kaylie
