Fashion Hairstyles: January 2009

Double twists

Another rather simple style. You could just as easily pull each side into one full ponytail or two ponytails. I have found that when twisting the hair back like this, if you make your first twists go up towards the crown and then do the final twist to the ground, they don't flip by the end of the day. Does that make sense or do I need to add arro...

Baby Do's. Two and a half ponytails?

YAY! A fresh head of hair to add to my arsenal. People ask how my kids hold so still when I do their hair. Simple answer is I do it from the time they are babies.

At the time of my posting, no current specifications had been made and there are still...

February 10th...National Bankruptcy Day

Small businesses, Etsy,...
