Something quick & simple today...

So I wanted to do something with not much effort today. This is a really good one for church - especially me who is getting all of us ready by 9am
Start by parting the hair & putting the elastic in.

Braid the pony tail all the way down.
Pull the braid half way up & secure it with an elastic.

I blow dried her hair then add polmade all over. Then spray the hair everywhere so the curls will stay. This is the best & quickest way to do curls without taking forever!

Start on one side of the head & work your way around. Take CHUNKY pieces & curl them.
But don't take the curling iron all the way up, just half way or barely half way. Once you have gone all the way around the hair, Run your fingers through the curls & then hair spray all over so the curls will stay.

Simple as that!! Add a cute bow & you are finished.

french twist on a side

I wish I had enough patience to redo her hair - I think it's a little too loose. So as you are doing this, make sure you twist it tighter & closer to the head.
Start by parting the hair a little more off to the side than you normall would. Than go straight from the part towards the ear. Clip the rest of the hair back.

Brush the hair forward & start doing the french twist at an ANGLE
Once you get to the part where there is no more hair to grab, start twisting each end like you are doing a twist braid & make your way down as far as you want to go.

Round brush the hair & keep it down.

4 French Braids

If you haven't learned how to french braid - you must!! You can do SO much with french braiding. I was a little unsure if I would be able to do the upside down french braids today, because I've had her lay down & braid before & she did not like that. So I tried it a different way & I think it turned out darling!!

We are going to part the hair into quarters. It's easiest if you start by parting the hair straight down the middle. Clip the one half off to the side. Now divide the other half right down the middle horizontally & clip the bottom part so now you are just working with the top.

French braid the top part & put your elastic in. Then I went to the left top & french braided that also (dividing the hair in half just like the other half)
Now french braid the underneath part.

Almost done with braiding - the last little section. The way that I did the upside down french braids were instead of having her flip her hair over & lay over the bed (easiest but most uncooperative:) I parted where I started the braid & flipped the rest of the hair up, just like the picture. I got over on top of her & went to town. Some of the top pieces will fall down but as long as you have your grip on your 3 braiding pieces, you should be fine. It was a lot easier than what I thought!!
Now, you have your four braids. I put them into pigtails next. But I criss-crossed the top, to pull the sides tighter (you know how you get that loose look sometimes - I didn't want that). But I DID NOT criss-cross the bottoms. I criss-crossed the top & just pulled the bottom braids right up. Do the pigtails as close as possible, almost looking like one pony tail.

I did the messy bun, because her hair is so long. If it wasn't, I probably wouldn't do messy buns so often.
Spray the hair to hold & you are finished!!

a "FUNKY" do

This is such a funky but fun do. & it's SUPER quick!!

I started with her hair down. Apply polmade to it. This is the polmade that I use for EVERYTHING!! I love it.

After you have applied the polmade, do random twist braids throughout the hair.

In between the twists, grab little sections & wave them.

See how easy? You are done!!

Headband with more Twists

I wanted to do this so you can see the headband. I LOVE doing hair headbands. They are so cute & you can do them in so many ways - like a braid or french braid or even a french twist - so many unlimited options. But today - we just did a straight headband.

First off, part the hair on the natural side & then part from the part down to the earlobe - on each side of the part. Pull the rest of the hair up into a clip.
As you can see, her hair is all clipped up & I've grabbed both sides of the head band & tied them together underneath with an elastic.

Then, I parted the hair going along with that same natural part, a little bit further down & once again cut towards the ear lobe so that I had a piece that I could twist. I pinned it to the side, to stay out of my way, so I could part the hair down the middle now & pull it all together into one pigtail, including the twist.
Part the other side & get your chunk & twist as you did to the other side. This is what it looked like when I pinned it so I could smooth all the hair into a pony tail before adding it (& as I was making my middle part for the piggies)

Make sure you include the end of the hair wrapped around (headband) into one of your pigtails or split it into both your pigtails. Now that both your piggies are in, continue twisting the piggie all the way down. Loop it up & secure it with an elastic. It automatically will do a "figure 8" twist in the pig tail if she's got long enough hair. Spray the ends a little - so they will flip over the pig tails.

& once again - of course - add your darling bows. Didn't the head band turn out darling?
