Fashion Hairstyles: December 2008

A Fun Christmas Updo

Today the curls aren't as tight and I STILL love it!Start by pulling the hair into little triangle ponytails. With Tess, I started on either side of her bangs and went to her crown, then from that ponytail (and the one on the other side) I went just beneath the ear. What was left, was...
