First Day of School hair 2013 (day two hair)

As all of you probably know by now, I am really lazy when it comes to hair (LOL) Don’t laugh if hair turns out cute I want to use it twice! I only wash my kids hair every other day, so this leaves me lots of 2 day hair do’s!
So we did a double waterfall braid on Baby Mermaids hair for day one
 
So this was yesterdays hair! Pretty fun and it stayed in really well, So today I just combed it out to get rid of the fuzzys!
 

And Braided back the back and put it in a low bun! easy peasy but super cute and quick!

First Day of School 2013

So First off I sectioned the hair into three little sections and one big one running horizontal down her head the biggest one on the bottom and hooked them up with a clip

 

Then I Dutch Braided the two middle sections one going from left to right the other opposite

Next I hooked both the braids under her hair with an Elastic to make a headband

    

Then I did the Easy Waterfall technique to pull back the front section, but this time I went through Both braids

 

 

combed out the ends and we ended up with this! I thought I got a front view inside, but I could only find this one outside in the wind!

Have fun at school Baby Mermaid!

Book Worm goes to the Prom!

Wow, Long time no post! We have been incredibly busy and crazy the last year, the last day of school we found out that we had to be out of our house in 30 days because our landlord was selling our house :0) so we moved into my parents basement, and with the 8 of us sharing one bathroom it left little time to “play with hair” but we are now in a little twin home while we build a house! Yep I am finally getting my dream home! Happy 20 year anniversary to us (it should be done in August). I have also been the Speech and Debate Team mom, and I have been crazy busy with that but super excited to share an incredible Sr. year with book worm! She has qualified for 2 national tournaments (the first person in Utah to qualify for the NIETOC using the bid program) and Little princess had a rocking good freshman year in speech and debate and also made the JV girls Basketball team!

But now that you’ve gotten caught up with us! lets get to the prom!

Of course my Dh had to get a picture of my tongue  hanging out, it just does that for pictures, I don’t know why!

So I just split her hair up into sections to curl, like the glove, I feel like Michael Jackson! to bad its not white and sparklie

My neato glove is blending in to her hair but you can see how big of a piece I am taking in this picture if you look close!

Then you just take the awesome clip-less curling Iron and wrap the hair around it, in a spiral, not on top of the other hair, it takes a bit to get the hang of it,

Now, my Curling Iron is just a Wal-Mart clipless curling Iron I have been coveting the Enzo Milano, but its 120.00 and until I can find it for 30 dollars (like my chi) there is no way I can justify paying that much! This one works really well, its ceramic and heats up to 410 so I make sure I use a heat protectant!

Then this is why you have an awesome glove to hold those little ends to the curling Iron

Next I did a waterfall braid on this side, and then curled the pieces that I pulled through! (remember I do the cheat waterfall braid!) click here for the Video tutorial!

Here she is all done! I must admit it turned out really cute!

Here she is with her cute date, they had a great time, and I used enough hair spray that she slept on it and it still looked cute the next day for church! (and yes that is snow on my lawn! I wish it would get to be spring!

her “fancy prom shoes” what a cute bookworm!

Double waterfall Braid

This is a tutorial for a double waterfall braid, done the easy way! cause I am a cheater when it comes to waterfall braids and no one has to know, unless I tell you all on my blog!

so I start by sectioning out the top part of her hair and then do four Dutch braids starting at the front and ending in the back, I am not super fussy about the parts because they are going to be hidden anyway!

After I have all four braids done..

I braid them into one braid, going down the back of her hair just to finish it off

Then this is where it gets easy, just section out the very front piece of hair and put it through the first section of braid, on both the top and bottom braid using your topsy tail,

Keep pulling a small section at a time until you have all of your hair through

And your done!

Easy Fairy-tale braid

I have had a lot of people ask me for a Video on my fairytale braids, Here is the Easyone with a regular french braid!

Easy Fairy-tale braid Headband

easy waterfall braid and dyed hair!

The kids were out of school and Baby Mermaid wanted blue hair, I was thinking of a streak here and there. I always use watercolor markers (such as crayola) and it always works so good and I have no problems. however I said sure and I was busy for a second and I would come do it in a second….. My second must of taken to long because she did it herself and needless to say its a little bit more blue than what I was expecting.

so I just French braided a skiny braid in her hair,

Then I took the top section that is above the braid and loose,

I hooked my finger through the braid

and pulled the piece through.

 

So you end up with a fairytale braid or a waterfall braid with ease!  
notice the awesome blue fingers! LOL it was a lot of blue!
 
Then I grab the chi and curled the blue strands that I had pulled through the braid! It turned out really cute! (and super blue)
here is a video link for the braid!
