I am hiding in the background getting ready for a cold trick-or-treat, Mr. Chic-Clips and I take turns every other year taking the kids around, and he always lucks out and gets warm years! We even got caught in a huge hailstorm. But, we still had a great time and even meet up with some good friends and had a blast!
oh some pumpkin pictures also!
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!

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)
 tempest tics 100Here 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!

super easy half bun

We did this before school one morning for Too Cool for Hair. It was super fast and turned out really cute so I thought that I would share! I just pulled the top part of her hair into a pony, and left the bottom long
 DSCN2194
Then I took the “topsy tail” and put it threw the elastic and pulled a loop of hair threw, leaving a loop (not pulling it all the way threwDSCN2193
Then I kept taking pieces and pulling them threw until I had a pretty full bun, Her hair is wet in these pictures so it looks kind of stringy but it dried more full.

Here she is with the bun done,I added bobby pins to kind of hold it where I wanted it!

and your done! really easy and quick! with a crazy face! LOL

Hike to the “Y”

We hiked as a family up to the “Y” Its a gigantic Y that is on the mountain above BYU in Provo. We heard that it is a little steep but a little was an understatement! But we made it and we didn’t die! and only a little blood was shed! but before we get to that I will show you the hairdo that I did on Too Cool for Hair!

Korean Hair Bun, Chic-Clips style!

One of my fellow hair bloggers did this hair do, of course I had to Chic-Clips it and try it! With To Cool For Hair, She has a Ballroom class and a Gym class on the same day at school and has really been enjoying the bun. So here is our version (I would link back to the original blog but I have forgotten who did it so If I stole your hairdo let me know and I will link back to you!)
so to start this hairdo its just straight wet hair easy, part it down the side and take out a section of hair and braid it (just any random section inside the parted side area!
 hair 094
then French braid the hair back braiding around the little braid sorry this picture is not the best!
hair 095
Then I pulled all the hair except for the little braid back into a pony tail, and braided the non braided hair from the left side
hair 096
Next I stuck in a chop stick that has been cut down and sharpened with the pencil sharpener, yep I just brought it home from my favorite Chinese restaurant! LOL and then I wrapped each of the braids around the chopstick one going to the right the other one to the left, and secured it with bobby pins!
hair 097
Then I took the little braid and wrapped it around and hooked it in the bun
