Festival of Colors

Hi, everyone I have been missing in action again as we just finished a play, I worked my butt of but we had a great time! Our family lives in the same town as a Krshna Temple, and every year they have a festival of colors, that celebrates spring. We finally had a chance to go this year!

Double Dutch with an extra braid, and some Turkey Tails!


So, I don't have good step by steps, because I really just started out with the plan to do a double Dutch and turkey tails but half way down the first braid I decided to take a braid across, so I just stopped and took out a little piece, and then continued down the braid, then when I got to the other side, I braided halfway down and added the braid, I am sure you can figure it outDSC_0964 DSC_0965
Then I just made the turkey tails by looping the braids under, chi’d the ends, and fluffed them out by back combing them a titch.DSC_0966  DSC_0968
And your done, do you want some cheese with your Hair?DSC_0969
you got it! LOL
Happy Hair,

Twisted Rope Bun

Today on Book Worm she wanted her hair up, She has been working on the Lyndi Hop at school in ballroom. And if you click that link you will see why her hair needs to be up LOL   DSC_0951
Her hair is so heavy I pulled the back part into a pony tail and then left the front part out,

then I roped back both front sides, and hooked them into the pony tail

Then I put her main pony into a rope, I didn't do it as tight as I usually do, I guess I was just to lazy! oh, if you can tell by the pictures I looped the end of the hair back up and made a little knot end on her pony tail

Next, I looped the rope up above her pony, and , continued around,

Then I took that little end and hooked it under that loop DSC_0956
I added tonz of bobby pins just to make sure,

Hope you like this do, Book Worm has tonz of hair which made for a big thick bun, but I think it would also work good on thin hair or as pigtail buns, it made a super secure bun, and lasted good all day even with that crazy dancing!
