So I know most people don't love doing hair, and wouldn't pick it as something fun to do on a Saturday morning...but I guess I'm not most people. :)

I had my neices over again this weekend, and this time I worked with Savannah. A few weeks ago for her birthday she got a killer dye job. I LOVE it, but of course I am too chicken to ever do anything as fun. Anyway, I had this idea in my head for a while, I saw it in The Princess Diaries (#2 I think), and her hair was perfect to try it on. This would be perfect for an evening out, or a super formal wedding do- all ages here!

I didn't do step-by-step photos, but it started as a simple low ponytail with the back section of the hair, then I twisted back the front sections and pulled them into the ponytail. Then I did two braids from the middle section of the ponytail. Once I did that, I pulled the hair up into a bun by rolling it forward on itself, and pinning it into place. (Video tutorial coming soon!) Then I took the simple braids, wrapped them around the top of the bun, and pinned them. The elastics were at the top of the bun, which next time I would have changed, but this time, I just added the little flower bow that I had made.

Redpunzel today!

Em wanted to wear her hair down today, so i just ran the straightener through it quick. It's amazing how much longer it looks!

Friday Momma Do

Start with three small braided sections in the front, pull back into a half. Take the bottom section, split in two and twist up into the rubberband section, and tie. Then take all of it together and wrap up into a nice little messy do. (Mine wasn't a bun, just wrapped up with a ponytail holder, and then pinned in place. You could easily do a messy bun, or leave it as a ponytail...)

Nothing fancy, but it will be out of my face for laundry day! :)

(Did anyone see New Moon yet? I'm not a die-hard fan, but I'm excited to see it. Let me know how it was if you saw it!)

Mayday, Mayday-

So we're having a bit of hair trouble the last couple of days- Emma's hair has STATIC like nothing I've ever seen! I've tried conditioner, friz-ease, and Infusium 23, all of which last about 5 minutes, then her hair is stuck to her neck again with static. I'm so worried about her pictures from yesterday with her hair all static-y. Today the only thing I could do with it was braids! (I know they're still cute, but I had big plans for today) :)

Anyway, I need some help! What do you use to prevent static? I'm guessing it's the dryer winter weather, but I don't know what to do to help it. (How much dryer could winter be than summer here in Las Vegas???) Comments would be very helpful! Have a good Wednesday!

*If you click on the image of yesterday's post, you can see her hair floating around her head with static...crazy! :)

Easy braid for picture day

It's picture day today! I like Em's hair to be down for pictures, so I
did a nice simple Dutch braid headband with the rest curled. Maia
wanted a braid too, so she got a simple braid pulled back with a clip.
Easy day!

Day After Do...

It seems like Monday's are always a bit busier getting out of the house than usual, and I almost always end up doing something using what she had on Sunday. Here's a cute day after do using the twist braids from our church do yesterday- I actually learned how to do this "Hawser Braid" at Babes in Hairland, super cute and was pretty easy.

Have a good Monday!
