Rose Buns Halo

 We were celebrating A's birthday and she wanted something pretty. This one is easy to do, but looks very sweet and lovely! 

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. :) 

Elsa Braid Using a Deep Waver

This post is full of pictures. We finished this style with extra time before going out, so we took the opportunity to get some updated photos. :)

Miss Sass, like many other children her age, is absolutely in love with Frozen! And while she says that she looks like Anna, she likes Elsa more. My girl doesn't have super-long hair (though we are working on growing it out) and it is still baby fine. She has thick hair, just very soft and fine. In any case, this means she doesn't have a lot of volume and this style requires a LOT of volume! 

Summer Wedding

I made this headpiece and accent band set while trying out a new style of hair accessories for my shop and Little Miss fell in love! ;) She asked if she could wear them and of course I said yes!

So, this style is actualy very pretty and wonderful for weddings or really any event. You can dress it up or down. It is also pretty easy to achieve... that's my favorite part! ;) 

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. ;)

Simple & Pretty Flower w/ Curls

This is another style that I previewed last week. I loved how pretty it was! ;)

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! 

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. ;)

Relaxed Curls & Bun on a New Model w/ a New Flower

Please welcome my lovely niece, The Diva! A beautiful child with enough attitude for 2-13 yr old girls. ;) She agreed to model for me and I was so excited to fix her curly locks!

Fabulous, Step by Step

Just in case anyone missed it, there is a GIVEAWAY in the post about Sissy's recital. http://tinydiva.blogspot.com/2010/07/be-my-little-baby-bumblebee.html

A pair of hairbows available to one lucky winner, so comment away! ;)

And now for the 'do that I did for Sissy's Faboulous photos... The up close, step by step pics I took of this hairstyle...

I want FABULOUS! Give me Fabulous!

Sis loves HSM and that song is her favorite. That's how she decided to describe this set when she first tried it on! ;) It is definitely over-the-top... and I just LOVE it! ;)

This is an all new outfit from the Fairie*Kisses Couture Line. (For those who don't know, that's me.;) I have made tutus and bows for quite a while and I've done some simple skirts and tops. But this project was a major feat! ;) I love all the steampunk stuff that I've seen on Etsy and other places, so I just had to try my hand at it! This was a blast to make and Sis just fell in love with it! ;)

My Favorite Style... on an adult ;)

Finally back online after the cruise... Holidays can be so crazy! ;) Anyway, this is my go-to style when I can't think of anything else. And I found that it looks very nice on adults also. But first, here is a sunset shot I took from the ship...

Okay, so french twist braids from each side and then pulled together in back.
I started the braids just above her ears and continued them back. When I got to the back area, I stopped doing a french twist and just continued with a regular twist braid. I had her hold that while I did the other side and then I pulled them together in the middle.

I think this looked so nice! ;) A very sleek style. I loved it with her straightened hair.

Okay, so glad to be back! I have tons of new things going up in my Etsy shop. Bows make great stocking stuffers. ;) Also, I'll have one last giveaway for the year coming next week! Miss all of you, blog family! ;)

Lovely Updo ~ A Poof & 2 French Braids

Finally a new style! ;)

This was inspired by a style I saw on a tv show...

It was pretty easy to do, but I did adapt it a little for short hair.

Going back in time... pics of the Streamer Bows

The first three pictures here are of a custom headband I made last year for a Mom wanting to do B&W portraits. I came across these while looking for the others and remembered how much I liked them;) Anyway, I think I might make another to list in my shop...

Getting her to hold still!

I have been asked a few times how I get Sis to sit still while I fix her hair, so I thought I'd give a few tips;)

The truth is that she really loves to get her hair fixed, but she doesn't always stay still; which is why I rarely have good tutorial pics;) And she isn't the only little girl whose hair I fix regularly. But really, there are a few tricks that I use....

An updo for short hair

I have been wanting to try this style on top, but just kept forgetting when I was actually fixing her hair. Anyway, I think this is a pretty 'do that could be worn for a wedding if you just curl the ends.

2 French Twist Braids + a Pony

This is a great style! You can make this very dressy or just fun. I chose this because we were having an all day graduation party/mini family reunion. The kids hopped in the pool around noon and stayed in until dark, except for two short breaks to eat:)

Super-Easy-No-Pins-Stay-All-Day Updo

Here is one of the styles that I gave a peek of earlier this week. It is an awesome updo! You can make this dressy or fun, whatever you are going for:) I love this do and fix my own hair this way occasionally. My favorite things about this one? NO pins and it won't fall out!
