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!

Fairy tail braid into a pony (easy version)

I didn't do a step by step on this one. I was just making things up as I went. I planed on leaving it long but… Too Cool For Hair wanted it up. So after I did the braid (waterfall fairy tail whatever you would like to call it) I did it the easy way (as previously posted) I pulled it up into a low pony and wrapped all my elastics with hair. It turned out really cute!

  Hope you enjoy and have a happy hair day!

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!

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!

Fairy tale braid!

We did this braid on to Cool for Hair! She went to school and everyone thought that it was "cool" so I guess that it is a winner! Start by parting out a little section in the front of her head!

Section into 3 pieces
start your braid

Then pull your first piece of braid and don't add it to your braid but pull it straight threw, it helped for 2 Cool for Hair to hold it.

then I braided it again not pulling hair from the bottom,

once again I got to the place in my braid where I had to pull from the top and I pulled it all the way through not hooking it into the braid.

Just keep on repeating until you get as far as you want your braid to go!
sorry that my finger nails are so sick! I just canned a ton of salsa and I ended up having to cut and bleach my fingernails to get the orange tint out of them! LOL

Here is her hair all braided! She loved it, It looked done but not over done! I loved it that it held the hair out of her eyes!

there is a video on Youtube that shows it really well. Have fun doing hair!
