Turkey Hairstyle

Today is the Sunday before Thanksgiving!!! I am doing my last Thansgiving blog post for this year, which is a hairstyle that looks like a turkey.

Before you begin, you'll need this SPR!TZ party favor bag kit for Thanksgiving. It's from Target, and it comes with paper turkeys, paper feathers, and a few other things that we won't be using. If you can't find it, you can always print out cartoon turkeys or something, and use real craft feathers. And if you want to use feathers ONLY, it can change from a fun turkey hairstyle, to a realistic Indian/Native American hairstyle that you could also wear for Thanksgiving. 

To start, part your model's hair from ear to ear (like how a headband would lay) and put all of the hair  that's on the back side of the head into a low ponytail to keep it out of the way. Feel free to make the part line a little farther back on the head, because you want a good amount of hair on the side closer to the forehead. Now brush the section that isn't in a ponytail towards the back of the head, and divide the hair into six sections. Divide each of the 6 sections into three sections and braid each one normally (not French braids or anything. Don't add in any hair). Now you should have 6 braids. Pull all of the braids together and put them in one elastic. Now, put the ponytail of braids and the low ponytail into one low ponytail and take out the other elastics. Now twist the ponytail into a bun and use bobbypins and hair pins to keep the bun secure. 

Then, take a paper or regular feather and put one in between all of the braids except the spot in the middle where the turkey will go, so there are four feathers in the hair and Bobby pin each one in. If you don't have a turkey, put a feather in the middle section too, and you'd be done. If you do have a paper turkey, take the turkey and put it in between the two braids in the middle and bobbypin it down. Now you'd be done with both the turkey or the Indian hairstyle.

If you don't have accessories, it would still look cute like this.

If your hair is thin, and you don't think the braids would look good, you can pancake it (pull out the sides) and it will make it look fuller. If you still don't like it, you can even do it without the braids, but you'll have to Bobby pin better than if you did do the braids. 

Happy thanksgiving and let me know if you do this hairstyle!
