Fashion Hairstyles: May 2008

Q&A

I recently went through my comments and realized there are quite a few ?'s that I haven't answered. I will answer what I do...and I hope that cosmetologists all over the world don't throw tomatoes at me.Ready, Set, GO!***I have a question -- where do you get your flowers and how do you attach them? (OK, technically 2 questions...sorry). The flowers are so cute!***I want to know where you got the flowers too. I looked for some at Michael's...

Loop-de-loop

Wet the hair and part it down the middle...or in my case, a slant to the middle.Part it from the center to the ear. Pull into a ponytail and on the last pull through, only pull it 1/2 way through with the excess out the bottom.Pull the bottom half AND the excess into another ponytailOn the last pull through of the ponytail, only pull it through 1/2 way, only this time leave the excess out on top.Like so.The part should look like a "t"....

Dual Puffy Braids

This is your basic puffy braid made cute by coordinating elastics. I just parted her hair down the middle and pulled it back....

Smocking

Smocking is one of those things that can vary from day-to-day and person-to-person.This was a fun one. I had originally started out with a triangle in the front of her head. It was a one-ponytail kind of day. She said I wasn't done, so I went to town. I parted straight over from the back of the triangle on either side and pulled them into elastics. Then I separated each of the three ponytails in half.I pulled the inside part of the left...

Piggies and Curls

Miss Monkeypants came to play yesterday. It was early enough that her mommy hadn't done her hair yet. So of course I took it upon myself to do her hair (like you couldn't have guessed that).I wet her hair down and parted it on the side where her normal part is. Then I sectioned off part of each side and made four little ponytails on top. On each ponytail I tied a ribbon.And then I played with those curls.I separated each one and pulled...

Side/Low Ribbon Bun

Start with a low ponytail to the side.Place a length of ribbon in the elastic.Section the ponytail into three sections. Leaving the top part of the length of ribbon out, put the bottom half of the ribbon in with one of the braid sections.Braid the hair down with the ribbon and secure the end with a clear elastic. Wrap the braid around the base of itself.Twist it all around. Using bobby pins, secure the braid to the hair.Tie the two ribbons...

Three Water Spouts

I have a new favorite product. Garnier Bold It Power Putty! It makes pulling my Spunky's wisps away from her face SO much easier.I should buy stock. I sprayed the front of her hair lightly and pulled some of this stuff through. A little goes a LONG way...so don't use too much.Then I parted her hair and pulled it into three ponytails...that I affectionately call "Water Spouts" on curly haired children. Then I made my Spunky's hair curly...

I don't know what to call this...so we'll go go with criss-cross braid on top.

I am in a crazy busy hurry today. I have loads to do...so you get a picture tutorial....

Criscross High French Braids...Submitted by Angie

Sometimes I wonder when I am going to run out of styles and then my site will become obsolete. And then I have fantastic followers that submit wonderful styles and then my mind goes crazy thinking of styles. So much that I have a sketch pad that I keep with me to jot them down. Last night in the middle of the night I was thinking about this style and one hit me that I will be using tomorrow on the princess...and tonight I am making her...
