Scattered Braids and Ladder Braid Fold Over

I love the way this style turned out! Miss Sass said that it felt a little funny on her neck, but when she saw the pictures she said I should do it again soon. It might even be our First Day of School style. :) 

Criss Cross Braids into Messy Bun

I really love braids. (If you haven't figured that out, click on any of the many braid links off to the side. Ha!)

This is a fairly basic concept, but can be tricky just to keep hold of. I parted the hair into four sections. I started with a diagonal part from the front left to the back right. Then I divided those in half. Pull all but one front section up out of the way. I prefer clips as they are easier to take out when ready. Start with a french braid in that front section and keep it lined up with the opposite side in the back. 

5 Strand Diagonal Braid

We've faced some interesting challenges since the fall and are finally getting back to  "normal" life. I may document some of the experiences here later on. Basically, we went to a new pediatrician, ended up going through a series of specialists (ENT, Allergist, Immunologist, Asthma), minor surgery, entirely new medicine regimen and action plan, and now-hopefully-a girl who can lead a relatively normal life! Honestly, it is good news! Just stressful at times and ridiculously busy! Thanks to everyone still hanging around and we hope to see much much more of you all! 

So, for this style, I followed a tutorial on my favorite hair blog, Girly Do's. Jenn is amazing as ever and continues to deliver unique, beautiful, and simple/soft styles! Little Miss and I have lost track of time more than once just looking at all of her awesome posts! 

David Tennant as Doctor Who - Boy Hair Style

I realize by posting this I am admitting my inner nerd to the world, but I can't help it. 

Rock Star Birthday and A Fauxhawk

My niece had her Rock Star Birthday Party last week, so I took the opportunity to do a faux hawk in Miss Sass's hair. (I love faux hawks!) 

A Super Twisty Bun

Really wishing again that I had some way to do videos. ;) My oldest is getting better, but it's so shaky it might make someone sick. Lol. Anyway, this do turned out rather pretty and I think I'll do it again soon!

Cornrow Piggies

 The idea here is simple, but the time it takes is not so simple! ;) Make sure you and your little princess are comfy and have plenty of little activities to do.

Fancy Updo

My friend, Sarah, is going to start pageants with her little girl. Her princess is 2 and has rather thin hair. However, they don't want to use hair pieces or wigs, etc. Sarah asked me to come up with something that would look good on stage...

Curlformers Product Review

Some of you might remember that I had won a giveaway for Curlformers, woohoo!!! ;) Well, I've tried them once on myself and once on Little Miss. They were a lot of fun and the curls are just amazing! 

Too-Crazy Heart! -- FAIL?

Alright, I put "fail" on this one because I think it was just a little to much for my taste. I don't know; I just can't decide if I like it or not. Lol... what do you all think?

This one is easiest (and so are all other heart shapes) if you make a middle part first. Then, part out the heart shape on each side.

Lattice Pigtails

This was a fun hairstyle that Miss Sass has been asking for. 

Pony-Braid Piggies

Before we get to today's do I wanted to say a quick thank you to all who responded to the free bow offer. I am processing emails and comments and I will get with each of you as quickly as possible! I look forward to working with you!

Today's style is a continuation of yesterday's. This was done on her actual birthday. I just have the pictures I snapped while she was opening her present from Mommy & Daddy. ;)

We left in the top/front from yesterday's do and took the pony and 3 small ponies out of the back.

Criss-Cross & Twists Into a Low Side Pony

I totally loved the way this look turned out!

Another Day, Another 'Do

Today's style is a continuation of yesterday's braids. I left them in and added to it. ;)

The back might look complicated, but it is pretty simple....

One style, Two days

I have been suffering from mommy brain something fierce lately!!! Really, it is so bad that I finished this entire post and almost put it up before I realized I had already posted one of the hairstyles! Well, the post is better with both in it, so if you've seen the one already, just scroll down. ;)

I have two hairstyles today that are almost the same thing. ;) We have been pretty busy lately getting ready for school, so I haven't done as many hair do's. Apparently, I didn't get any good shots of the finished looks. Sheesh!

Right, so the hair is what we're here for!... This first one is pretty simple. I parted the hair into two sections on top. In the front section, I did a french knot braid. This is achieved by starting with two pieces and tying them in a knot, as you would when you tie your shoes before making the bow. ;) You add hair to each piece and tie them again. Just keep going to the end and secure with an elastic. It's crazy-easy and looks really neat, imo.  

Overlapping Angled Puff Braids

Before we get started with today's 'do, I want to say thanks to everyone who has entered the giveaway. Your comments are very sweet and greatly appreciated! For those who emailed or are planning to email me pics: I had asked for you to share your hairstyles for an extra entry... I am planning to put these photos in a future post. If you would like yours left out, please just let me know. ;)

If you haven't entered the giveaway yet, check here for more details. Thanks again to everyone for your support! I was thrilled to see that I have 99 wonderful people following my blog, WOW! ;)

Right, now on to the hair...

This is my new favorite style. I have done pigtails, a low ponytail, 1/2 up, and this one. I think this time looked the best, but I'll list some more with this basic idea. I just love the way it looks! ;)

This is a VERY simple style to do; it just looks a little more complex....

More Lauren MIBI Hair... for Short Hair

I saw this style a few days ago and have really wanted to try it out!

This time I decided to post a picture of Lauren's actual style.

Another Swimmy Do

We had another wet'n'wild days, so we needed another hair style for water time. This one turned out really cute!

ROCKAHOLIC ... New Detangler, New 'Do - Product Review

We created a fun new 'do today inspired by our new "BORN TO ROCK" detangler by TIGI. It was really fun and too cute! Miss Sass was full of attitude, so I have a lot of pics. And then there's the product review, so this post is just a bit longer than usual. ;)

Braids 'N Beads

Before we get started, I want to remind everyone about my 100th Post Giveaway, found here. Today is the last day to enter and it's the easiest one yet! Thanks to everyone for your support for 100+ posts!

Sis has been asking me to do another "all-braidy" style. ;)

Part the hair into sections. This style works best with a very deep side part.

Put the front/bangs into one french braid going all the way across. A row, or several rows for older girls, looks the best on the side with the most hair.

I some how missed the following picture... Part the rest of the "bigger" side into rows behind the bangs. Sis only needed two french braids, but older girls will need more. ;) On the other side, create french braids starting at the front and going straight back. They will fall naturally.

Next, part one row in the back of the hair into small sections and braid them.

Now, it's time for the beads... This is one of the easiest ways to add beads, in my opinion. ;) Start with one bead and an elastic. I recommend clear, but used contrasting colors to show it better.

Okay, so put the elastic through the bead and then put one loop through the other loop and pull it tight. Next, put whatever beads you want onto the braid. There are several ways to do this. I suggest simply wetting the hair and using the hair as a "needle".

Your last bead will be the one with the elastic attached. slip the bead onto the hair and then wrap the loop that sticks out around the hair. It is secure for normal wear, but can also be taken out easily.

I loved the finished look! Sis decided to wear this lovely dress. (Yes, on a rainy day when we had no plans!)

Originally, I had straightened her hair. However, I like it better curled. ;)

Sis was one happy girl! ;)
