♥ Heart Headband for Valentine's Day♥

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

This just kinda popped into my head the other day and I tried it out, it's a good thing I took pics lol. I didn't use gel cause we were doing something that day and if it didn't turn out right I would have to take it down and it's easier with out the gel. This means there were some fuzzies lol. So I suggest you either use gel or pomade for this.

First I parted her bangs out, if your daughter doesn't have bangs you can skip this step

Then I parted the hair straight down the back.

Then I separated a band on each side.

Now make a small pony and do a pull through (you will be making 3 ponies on each side).

It will look like this.

 Now split the pulled through pony into two sections and twist them outward.

 Shape into a heart.

 Secure with an elastic and put to the side.

 Make the second pony and do the same thing except now you want to pull the end from the first heart in through the second heart.

 Attach the bottom of the second heart to the hair you pulled through from the first. It will look like this.

 Here is a closer pic doing this with the third heart.

 Now the left side is done.

 Just do the exact same thing on the right.

 Take the ends from the hearts and pull smoothly back.

 Attach an elastic.

 Top view.

 You can do a ribbon like this and attach it to the elastic you used or you could use a plastic craft needle and thread it through the pull trough's.

 I poofed it up a little and curled the ends just a bit.

We may have one more style before Valentine's so check back.

Have a Valentine's Day full of love!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

It will look like this.

~♥~5 Heart Valentine's Day Hair Style~♥~

~♥~5 Heart Valentine's Day Hair Style~♥~

 First, apply gel to wet hair and part the hair down the middle, then separate a section of hair that is just behind the ear on each side and make a ponytail. Use either a piece of string, a topsy tail, or a rat tail comb, and pull the hair through the back and into the front.  

 Split that ponytail in half and braid each side like this.

 Make a third section of hair and secure with an elastic and then secure the braids with it like this or do like I ended up doing and just pull the braided pieces through going back where you do the next pull through. Hope this makes sense look at the picture after this one below. You can do it either way though.

 I ended up changing it and pulled the braids through like this.

 Now braid the second section like you did the first.

 Now just do the same with the other side.

 At this point it should look something like this.

 Now with the bottom half of the hair, make a ponytail adding the extra hair from the braids from the first heart (I didn't smooth it down so you can see it) Do a pull through going from the bottom, up. Then connect the left braid and right braid from the sides and pull through going from top to bottom so it comes out the bottom.

 Now with the hair you pulled through the top, split it in half and braid to make the heart.

 Connect it to the hair coming through the bottom and then just go through and place bobby pins where needed to support the hearts

Hope you like this style and we will be adding another soon. Thank you for reading :) !!!

Wreath Twist/4 Strand Braid

Wreath Twist/4 Strand Braid

I'm back with the other style we did for Christmas but it can be used anytime. This is very simple and can be done two different ways. For Christmas, we did this one, sorry no step by steps but it is so easy they aren't really needed (if you still need step by step let me know and I will be more then happy to do the pics for you, just let me know)  Start out with wet hair and add gel throughout, comb it smoothly back into a fairly low ponytail and secure. If you want the effect like above what we did was use a Christmas scrunchy with these little furry balls lol or you can attach a bow with a clip either just if you do a crunchy, make sure to put that one in before braiding. We usually  use one good elastic with a decorative scrunchy aver it. Next, split the ponytail hair into two sections. Now do a 4 Strand Braid one each section *tip. try and braid as far down as you can so there is less ends to hide. Now wrap one braid up, over the head to make a half circle and secure with bobby pins. Now take the other braid and wrap around the opposite side of the head to complete the circle, but make sure you are covering the ends from the first side and tucking in the ends from the second side, then secure with bobby pins. I also used a plastic craft needle to thread ribbon through the braids. Spray with hairspray and you're done!

The top view.

Now this is the other version I mentioned. The only difference is I sectioned the hair into two sections and did Twist instead of 4 Strand Braids. Both have a nice effect.

Let me know what you think of these styles and thank you for reading :).

Pink And Purple Elastic Cornrows

Pink And Purple Elastic Cornrows

This is pretty easy to do you just have to try and make your parts even. I made the first part where the front pink elastics are and then did each side by that part which helps. Then I alternated the colors. Then with the hair from the elastic cornrows I did the weave pattern and then into the buns.





Hope you like this one :) If anyone needs further instruction let me know :)

Pigtails, Squishy Braids, and a Poof....Oh My!

Ok, I don't have anymore pictures of this one, I really liked the way it looked though. It is pretty and simple. First I made the little poof with her bangs that we are growing out ( I am considering cutting them though....they bug lol) I left a little bit down on each side and then put the rest into pigtails. I separated a small amount of hair on the top section of each pigtail. I did a loose braid and then at the end I slid 2 of the 3 braid strands up to make the squishy braid. I think it looks a lot like Celtic Knot work. Anyways I secured each squishy braid with an elastic and there you go! Enjoy!

Christmas Tree

We did this style for her last week of school. I like how it turned out although I wish I had been able to find a little star or something for the top, that would have been soooo cute :)

I know the pictures are terrible below but If you can see good enough they are helpful.

First make sure to do this while the hair is wet and use a good amount of strong gel. I put half of  her hair into a fairly high ponytail. Then I kinda of separated it like when you do a messy bun and just made little elastic ponytails all the way around. Then for each little pony you made split it in half and add it to the half from the one next to it and secure with another elastic.

Keep splitting it and adding it to the side one all the way down until you have something that looks like a webbed hat lol. Spray it with hairspray and let it dry. 

After it has dried, pull it down so it looks like a cone. Take the bottom half of the hair you didn't do the webbing with and put into low pigtails. Take the webbed hair and add to each side and secure (it doesn't have to be secured to the same spot you made the pigtails it can be further down the pigtail to make a tall enough Christmas tree.). Then I took these cute little Christmas bulbs I found at Michael's and a plastic craft sewing needle and just tied it into different spots on the tree. Add a tree topper or whatever else you think looks cute and you have a decorated Christmas tree!

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and sorry these post are after Christmas but keep it in mind for next year! We have one more Christmas style I will be posting next but it can be used year round!
