Simple.... Sweet

Today I wanted something simple that I could use for two days, So I just did two simple knots on each side and let the rest lay long...

here she is from the top!

stick a bow on that head and out the door she goes!

see my second day do next time!

Pony in a net of ropes

I am sure that this is not original to me, I just sat down and started to play and this is what we ended up with. I am thankful for patient kiddos! We did six ropes across the front of Baby Mermaid's Head
Then we took out a section in the back behind her ear like this

and hooked the 3 braids from the left side to the section behind her ear on the right

Then we wove the right sides threw the left side and hooked it to a small section behind her right ear

Then we hooked both sections together under her hair, and I pulled out the curling iron and of course my good friend hairspray and went to town!

Here she is still in her jamies and her hair all dolled up!

From the back,

and ready for church!

EASY!!!!

So today I went back to my "real" job and I wanted a super simple do, so this was it I parted her "bangs out a parted that to the side, Then I braided a tiny braid
Hooked the braid and the "bangs back at the nap of her neck

Combed the back hair smooth, and there you go! told ya it was simple!

from the side

and the front! Thanks Baby Mermaid!

Trash Tie bunns

I Bought my trash ties last Christmas, was so excited to use them and quite honestly do not love them, I have only used them a couple of times, and I won't purchase any more, if you have them and love them! great, this is of course my opinion, but enough with the rant and on with the hair! so this is baby Mermaids hair and we wanted it up because it was going to be hot! I started with the hair in a high pony and with an elastic then I made a slip type knot out of the trash tie and tightened it up in her hair!

see it really is made out of a wire!

Here I am wrapping the hair and the "trash tie" together

Then I just twist it up on itself and then "sew" the end into the hair and fold it over on itself, I have a hard time getting these in tight but last minute we decided to go swimming and it stayed in beautiful! for which I was very surprised I think it is because we put it in a pony with an elastic first!

here is the back with a bow. When I made this bow set a couple of years ago my dear sweet supportive husband said "seriously Heather, the poor kid looks like Princess Leah" now we try to wear them one at a time or as really high pigtails

I have been teasing baby mermaid because she closes her eyes for every pic, she is super sensitive to light so this is her funny "mom, I am opening my eyes pic"

Indian braids with a twist

This is a quick hairdo because we slept in and had to be gone! Here is a twist on the basic Indian braids. We started out parting the hair for pigtails. then Hair sprayed and combed back one side to the back part of her head and braided it down, with not elastics next to her Head. we braided it almost all the way, just leaving enough for a fantail. Then we repeated on the other side. Here is both braids, you could end here if you want in what my kids call Indian braids.
Then I just fold up the braid and elastic it together.

Here is both sides done, and of course bows!
