Late 4th of July Post

Sorry for getting this on so late after the holiday but we were having some issues with the pic transfers. Anyhow, we kept the style but added some twist braids with beads to the pigtails and curled it some. It is just so dang hot here that the curl doesn't last very long :(
We also did these stars with a stencil and her cheer make up which I thought turned out adorable!

So I just wanted to share these with you :)

4th Of July style

4th Of July style

Okay so I started out by separating the hair down the middle. Use a good amount of gel for this.

Then across the top

I split the right side into 2 sections. Then I took the right side of that and make 6 sections across.

Now take the bottom section and split again, twist hair so it will fit through the bead and add to the section to the right of it.
*these pics look different cause I was going to have 2 rows of beads on the left and right of each pigtail..it will make more sense later. This shows how to do the beads though.
Secure with a clear elastic.
Do the same with the next one.

So add the red, white, and blue beads going up the right side like this.

Until it looks like this

Now the left side.

Like this.

Then I took a section on the left just behind her bangs for a cornrow and braided it down, then added red, white, and blue beads to that braid and secure with a clear elastic at the bottom.

Now go back and starting at the bottom take the little ponies you have created and split them in half add the section so you have 3 strands and start your braid. Now just dutch braid by adding each side as you go up and then secure at top.

We added the left over hair from the crown and made pigtails and made messy buns to weave the Glowbys into.

We added the bows I made as well.

This is with pigtails instead of buns.

For a more dramatic look, you can make this like I was starting out and instead of having the one braid going up the middle you will have two braids and more beads. This is kinda confusing to explain since we changed the way we were doing it but Chelina was tired and it takes longer to do the other way. I hope this explains enough though. I got some of the inspiration for this from Kristi at http://kjbraids.blogspot.com/ and Nikki at http://beadsbraidsbeyond.blogspot.com/ both of them super talented . If you want to get the Glowbys go here I didn't take a pic with them in cause it wouldn't show up with my camera. They are awesome though! Well enjoy and we hope you have a fun, safe 4th!

Triple Criss Cross Cornrows - Our 4th of July pics

Ok, I know, this isn't the style I posted but I knew if I didn't attempt this one it would bug me lol.

So what I did was this. I separated the hair from ear to ear (a little behind) and then separated that into 3 sections across. The middle section I cornrowed all the way across then I started back on the same side and started doing a cornrow beside the middle one then stopped part of the way up then instead of doing more of a cornrow, I just braided it normal so it could cross over the middle one. Then I started the 3rd braid . I did the same thing as the other and did the cornrow up to the same point and then extended the braid a little beyond. Now after doing that I take the second braid I did and crossed it over the middle one and continued the cornrow on the opposite side. Doing the same extension to cross over. Then do the 3rd braid the same way. After all the cornrows are done and connected take the colored hair and wrap it around one of the sections of the braid and then connect it again so the colored hair is in the middle then braid as you normally would. Then I put the rest of the hair from the back in a ponytail and added the pretty patriotic bow we got from Every Little Detail.

Ok, I hope everyone had a great 4th and thanks for the comments on the other 4th style :) Oh and BTW if your little princess has bangs, your definitely going to want to use pomade or beeswax to braid then in without major flyaways. Some of Chelina's hair didn't want to co-operate even with the pomade lol.

Summer Is Supposed To Be Slower?

Ok, I know I have been terrible about posting lately and you have probably given up on checking my page but I am trying to get things going now. I really thought things would slow down over the summer but nope, not happening lol. In between getting stuff done for my business, sleepovers, parties, a computer that isn't getting online, Dr appt's, errands, cleaning, and trying to keep bored munchkins entertained things just have not gone my way lately......and did I mention my pics for the 4th of July style got deleted lol. So I am kind of looking forward to school being back in which for Chelina is going to be July 29th.

Ok, now about the 4th of July styles. I had some pics done and they got deleted then I had this great idea for one and the piece I needed for it is sold out sooooo I am attempting an altered version of it tonight which I will have posted no later then tomorrow morning. So, if you haven't given up on me yet check back :).

Thanks for reading
