How to: Yelena's hairstyle from Frozen 2

Helpful tutorials:
3 strand braid

You'll need:
9 small elastics (or 18, if you're using double elastics)

How to do this hairstyle?

1. Part the hair off centre, about in the middle of the eyebrow.
2. Create a second part on the other side of the centre, also about in the middle of the eyebrow.
3. Now create a third part from the left to the right part, about 5 centimeters away from the forehead. This is the hair for your first ponytail.
4. Put an elastic around this ponytail. In the movie, Yelena has white hair and uses dark elastics - because I have dark hair, I've used white elastics.
5. Now create on each side of this ponytail three smaller ponytails. Try to make nice and straight parts every time. Tip: start the part at the top and then go down (starting at the middle ponytail you have) before going to the front.
6. Once you've created all seven ponytails, comb the hair from these ponytails back and put an elastic around them.
7. Lastly, take a strand of hair on the left side of the head. The strand starts at the back of the neck.
8. Divide the hair from this strand into three and do a regular 3 strand braid. Finish off with an elastic. Be careful: Yelena wears this braid to the front, so make sure your braid stays there.

Good luck!

Disneyhaar

"Wat wil je later worden?" Vraag dit aan een meisje en vaak zal het antwoord "prinses!" zijn. Deze meisjes denken dan niet aan onze eigen prinsessen Amalia, Alexia en Ariane, maar aan de prinsessen die ze kennen uit de vele Disneyfilms.

Moeders van deze meisjes zullen dan ook regelmatig de vraag krijgen om een prinsessenvlecht te doen. Vooral Elsa's vlecht uit Frozen is hierbij populair. Het lastige is echter dat het haar nagemaakt moet worden vanaf een tekenfilm. En tekenfilmhaar is altijd anders dan gewoon haar!

Gelukkig zullen de meeste meisjes het al prachtig vinden als hun haar maar een beetje op dat van hun favoriete prinses lijkt. Een rood lintje als haarband en ze lijken al op Sneeuwwitje! Voor meisjes met lang haar is er Rapunzel, die later in de film ook een prachtige vlecht in haar haar krijgt. Welke moeder durft die uitdaging aan?

"What do you wanna be when you grow up?" Ask this question to a little girl and often the answer will be: "princess!" These girls don't think about our Dutch princesses Amalia, Alexia and Ariane, but about the princessess they know from the many Disney movies.

Mothers of these girls will often get the question to do a princess braid. Especially Elsa's braid from Frozen is very populair. The tricky thing, however, is that the braid needs to be copied from a cartoon. And cartoon hair is always different from regular hair!

Luckily most girls will already love it if their hair looks even a little bit like their favorite princess. A red ribbon as headband and they'll look like Snow White! For girls with long hair there's Rapunzel, who gets a beautiful braid in her hair later in the movie. Which mother dares to take the challenge?
