Braided Piggies for Hats and Bobbi-Toads

Hats are awesome and can be so so cute! But they aren't allowed in school. This style transitions perfectly. It works for cold weather hats and fun sun-blocking caps...

Diagonal Pigtails with Braids

This cute style will definitely be in our school style line-up this year~ 

Braided Bun

 We've had several really hot days this week, so we've been going for off-the-neck styles. I love this one because it is simple and out of her face, but also pretty. 

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. 

Stretched Braid Piggies Tutorial

Here is the step-by-step of yesterday's style. I love the way this looks on little girls. Very feminine and fun! ;)

Let's Go 5th Graders, Let's Go!

Miss Sass and several other students got the opportunity to cheer on the 5th graders in a recent pep assembly. The 5th graders are preparing to tackle State Assessments and these kids are helping them stay encouraged! 

Dutch Braids and Bun

 If you can do french braids, then this is an easy do. The best thing about this one is that it works for just about any length of hair. If you find that your daughter's hair is difficult to get into the braids, try more braids, so that you are holding less hair. This is a good tip for shorter hair. ;)

Twist Braids and Step Ponies to Bun

This style is one I borrowed from Babes In Hairland. If you haven't seen her blog, you haven't seen hair! ;) I totally love my girl's red hair, don't get me wrong. But you have got to see the ridiculously thick and beautifully healthy hair her daughters have! Okay, so here's the link... CLICK ... to this style. I had to change it up just a tad for Miss Sass's short locks, but it was still fun and cute! 

Thanks to the twist braids, this style has a little bit of shape at the top front. I think it is pretty, but simple and could be dressed up or used for everyday. --I have to make a quick note on this pic... My big boy here cooked pancakes for breakfast and then did his best to clean the evidence off of his shirt. Lol. He is a total sweetie who loves to cook! So, please excuse the messy shirt! ;)

Back to School

I just wanted to share our back to school photos. I threw in some of my boys too, just for fun! ;)

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!

Three Braids and A Bow

We were heading out to take some pics of our new dresses, so we needed a somewhat quick but cute do. ;) This one is actually very easy and pretty quick if you know how to french braid. 

Twist into Messy Bun

This is kind of a fallback style for us. First, part the hair into the sections you will want. 

This is the easiest way to secure the twists. Take your section and part out just a tiny piece at the end you'll be securing.   

Twist the remaining part of the section and secure it with that little piece with an elastic. 

You could also secure the twists with a single bobby pin pushed up through the twist and into the base of the hair. That will work best with hair of Little Miss's thickness or thicker. Okay, so this is the finished style. I didn't get many pics, but I'm sure I'll be doing it again. ;)

Simple Dancer 'Do / Gymnast Bun

I know I've done this style before, but it is such a great, simple, but quick one for gymnastics and dance!

Ballet Bun Re-Run

I know I've done this one before, probably more than once too. ;) It is so simple and cute and keeps the hair out of the way... so I love it! lol

Okay, so there are just a few quick shots that I managed to snap at the studio. I changed things up a little this time by wrapping the bun with a piece of black lace. Little Miss said she felt very pretty with it! ;) 

Twists and Clips

Okay, so blogger has changed their photo uploader... They ran a beta test of it a while back and I liked. However, I have been trying for the last three days now to create this post and the uploader keeps rotating my pictures! I tried using a separate editing software and starting from scratch then re-uploading, no go. UGH!!!! Well, I guess I just have to deal with it. :)

Moving on....

This was Little Miss's idea. She asked me to use her new clips I got on a cruise. They are something you could find about anywhere, but they came with a cute set and she thinks they are really special. ;) She asked me to put twists in and showed me all the places she wanted them. I adjusted her concept a tad, but mainly used what she asked for. ;)

3 Pigtails into Bun

This is just another quick do we did for dance class. It's also one of the do's I photographed with my back-up camera, so it's a little fuzzy...

Side Baby Gaga Bow & A New Tank

So there are two parts to this post... First, a new hairdo. We did a super-simple side pony into a bow made out of hair. This is really cute and fun. I hope you all like it! ;)

Twist Into Bun ~ Ballet Beautiful

This is a style I know I've done several times, but it is a favorite for dance.... on that note, I feel like I should mention that Miss Sass takes dance 3 days a week, hence all the dance styles and leos. ;)

Simple Ponies Into A Pony

To start, part out the bottom of the back and get the rest out of the way.

Simple Side Pony... & some frizzies ...

So this is a super simple 'do! Little Miss is getting her hair cut tomorrow, so I didn't want anything that would be difficult to take out. But we still needed it all up on such a HOT day! ;)
