Josefina's "Feast Day Finery" hair style?

[NurseSarahRN]

I just dressed Josefina in her cute little Feast Day Finery outfit. I want to try and do her hair like the AG website shows...pulled back and braided(?) with the red ribbon. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this hairstyle?

This hairstyle is tricky. What I do is I separate her hair into two bunches, and make two braids. But before I start braiding, I take a bobby pin and clip the red ribbon in the middle hair section that will be used in the braid. You braid with the ribbon, trying to keep it in the middle hair section. Once you are done, take the bobby pin out. Then I bobby pin the hair braid to the back of her head. It looks great in front, but the back looks messy.

I seperate her hair into 2 sections, then start "french braiding" each side of the head.When I braid down to the nape of the neck I pull hair from both braids and start making one braid down her back. When it's all braided I use one of those small clear bands to hold it and then roll it up and under until there is a small chignon and secure it with a small clip. It takes practice but it looks really good if you can get it right.
