Recycle Power!

I must be getting lazy in my old age because here I am doing a day 2 hair do again! LOL this was really easy and step by steps are not really necessary, if you have any questions let me know however!
We started with this hair do for Sunday. however I didn’t love it her hair is still a bit to short, but when she got up Monday for school her hair looked like this!
 
So we pulled out the pigtails aross the top turned them into 2 pigtails, Chi’d the ends to give them a bit of curl,
and stuck some huge miss matched bows in to hide the mistakes! LOL

and your done!

day 2 pony and spice!

So I took yesterdays hairdo and mixed it up a bit but still kept elements! Thought that I would save the planet and recycle!

Yesterdays hair do!

today's hairdo, I just left in the three twists and pulled everything else into pigtails, I did flat Iron it to get those big bouncy pigs! besides that it was easy peasy!

Sugar and Spice and a pony tail that is nice

A teen in church wore her hair like this on Sunday and I loved it so we tried it out with Baby Mermaid!

  

So we parted out her hair pulling the front half up and the back into a high pony

 

Then I took three sections and twisted it and hooked it with an elastic, I wish I had clear but… I haven’t picked them up at the store lately! Then I took the sides and front a twisted/french braided them back and hooked them into the pony tail.

Here is a second picture that shows all my crooked parts! What was I thinking!

and your done!

Grown up Puffy braid

We are fighting the frizies that come with cold dry Utah air, so that means lots of pulled back hair days, and I loved the way this turned out Its really simple and understated, and we just put in simple ribbons when we were done.

I just parted her hair off center and pulled one side into a low pony, I had already given her hair a little curl on the bottom with my chi

 

Then I pulled back this top part with one elastic and then pulled that down in a matching low pony on the other side  and there ya go, your almost teen out the door with a huge smile ready for the day!

Side Pony Diagonal Braid

I just started braiding and pulling on Baby Mermaids hair and this is what I came up with!
 

I started at her temple on the right side and then braided down to her left and ended above her ear,

Then I pulled the rest of her hair into a side pony

Added a bow and cheese and your done!

Bun and Tuck

Here is Little Princess, she wanted a bun and I have to admit I didn’t want to do one but this is how it turned out!

I pulled her hair back into a high pony with just the top layer and then pulled it through,

 

Then I pulled the rest of the hair into a pony and did a pin curl bun, easy as pie

and your done! I didn't even get a front view! sorry gals  you will just have to imagine how cute she looked on her way out the door! She had a super cute I won mom did my hair how I wanted smile and I was pretty happy about that to!

knots into a Hairband

I love to say Hairband, it reminds me of my days in the 80’s with the big rock and roll hair do’s ahhhh back when puffy hair was cool, any how, here is Baby mermaids do for today, this is a second day do, day one we just wore the knots, if you don’t remember how to do the rolled knots the link is provided, I gooped in tonz of pomade and they stayed really well, so day two I just pulled them to kind of tighten them up and then went on from there!

Here she is with here eyes closed of course, I just pulled the ends from the knots and hooked them with an elastic under her hair! More pics of the hair    Here you can see her ends hooked under! easy and cute!

Fairytale Braid crown (Easy Version)

Awhile back I posted a fairytale braid That looked really cool but unless you have 3 hands is kinda tricky to do! Well here is the cheat version!

 So I just did two Dutch braids down both sides of her head and hooked them in the back with an elastic (notice I pulled up the center section of hair)

  Next I took the “Topsy Tail” and pulled little sections of hair through the braid,

Here is one side all done!

 

Other side all done!

 

from the front top,

and a classic little princess smile! I hope you love this do! we loved it and thought that we would share!

tiny twisted rope headband

I Did a "Hair band" on Too Cool For Hair today! it turned out pretty cute and I fancy-ed it up a tiny bit!

Here you can see the parts where the ropes start, her hair is so dark it is hard to see the ropes,

here you can see the rope, it just hooks with an elastic with the headband hair from the front under her long tresses!

a front view and your done!

thanks

Next time I need to make sure that I have a tripod to take pictures

Heart Dutch braid into a pony!

I did this forever ago, (in 2009) but I have kind of mixed it up a bit, I saw a double one posted some where but I think I just prefer the simpleness off one heart braid here is a link to my last post that gives you better step by steps!

So I just did a heart Dutch braid and then put the rest of the hair into a pony tail, easy this would work great for a second day do, day one you could leave the hair in just the braid day 2 pull it into a pony!

front and back views, and of course I had to add a bow!

And her new shirt that I got from the best place ever! Stitcheroos!

Thanks

Heather

Curlformers again!

Too Cool for Hair had a speech and debate competition this weekend, her first one ever! We decided on Theater hair, not knowing really what judges are looking for, she did a Duo, and got second place (she did a great job but lets admit part of that prize goes to this awesome hairdo)
 Here she is from the front, we just Dutch braided her bangs back like this really easy!

from the back, once again I am wishing I only had the long pink and orange curlers!

And here she is with a bird man, My Brother is on leave from the Navy right now and he taught the kids this game, if you make eye contact when someone gives you the birdman you have to lay down wherever you are. Unless of course you block with the monocle! life is always a crazy time here! LOL

Stacked double knots, and a bonus do to!

On Too Cool for hair we did this wicked cool double knot pony tail, we just made one low pony tied a knot to cover the elastic with a topsy tail and then did one more pony and tied a knot again, she said she had tonz of people at school asking how to do it and she didn’t even know what I had done back there! kind of funny I thought!

sorry I didn’t get step by steps on this one! we were in a hurry in the morning!

and the little princess did her own hair and came up with this I told her I would post it cause I love the hair accessory with this one!

it is just a simple twist with a ostrich feather puff on the side but I love the way it balances each other out!
