By Melissa Lwee-Ramsay
December 8, 2016

With the party season coming up, I took my daughter to  J’s Salon to learn some matching mummy-daughter festive hairstyles that are easy-peasy to recreate at home. I also brought my friend and fellow mummy, private banker Serene Chua (and her adorable daughter Amber) along for the ride.

Look 1: Easy bun
A look-alike bun hairstyle that is super easy to pull off.

Step 1: Tie your hair in a ponytail

Step 2: Pull your hair up bit by bit from the top of the ponytail to create volume.

Look 2: Simple Braid Cheat
This hairstyle looks just like a braid, but it’s much easier to pull off.

Step 1: Start by picking two thin strips of hair on the side of your head.

Step 2: Cross the left strip over the right strip.

Step 3: Hold on to the right strip and pick up a new thin strip of hair on the left, once again crossing the left strip over the right strip.

Step 4: Repeat until you form a full “braid”.

The look is suitable for both mummy and baby.

Look 3: Short Hair Braid
Even if you and your daughter have short hair like Serene and Amber, you can still tie a simple braid to jazz things up.

Step 1: Tie a braid on either side of the head.

The little ones can just have the braid on one side.

p1140563-89

Step 2: As an additional option, tie a ponytail for a cleaner look.

p1140580-102

A look that suits both the young and young at heart!

We had a wonderful time!
