For your future stylist!

If your daughter is anything like mine, then she loves doing hair! Her dolls hair, mommy's hair, whoever! Check out this adorable Salon Stylist Chair. I definitely see a future birthday or Christmas gift. $50, not too bad! A would absolutely love this! I'm not sure what's in the little cup, maybe hair dye? I can do without that though. The chair would be just fine.

I think this would also be come in handy when we all try to teach our little girls how to care for their natural hair. Unfortunately, a lot of girls don't know what to do with their hair when they are teens, so they often turn to heat or chemicals. This would be a way to make learning how to do two strand twists or whatever else FUN, while they're still young! :)

By the way, I'm pretty much used to playing Beauty Shop with the kitchen chair, but this is cuter!

Sideways Pull-Throughs

I don't really have step by step's for this style, sorry! But it's pretty self-explanatory... 

One pull-through on each side of a middle part

Then a pull-through facing sideways (compared to the first ones) with added hair!

This picture shows me prepping the ponytail for the pull-through - splitting the hair behind the ponytail and then flip the "tail" through the opening!

And there you have it! :) 

Yes, Q's watching "kidsongs" music videos on youtube.com :)

Enjoy!

Pretty Updo, Perfect for your Princess!

I decided to do a test run style on A. I'm still not sure what I'm doing to her hair for Easter (April 4th) but I'll figure something out. It might even be this style. This turned out to be a pretty updo. Perfect for special occasions, holidays, or whenever your little girl wants to feel like a princess!

For this style you will need: Setting lotion (or something with good hold), Curlformers (or other curlers), bobbypins, rubberbands/elastics, moisturizer, oil to soak rubberbands/elastics in.

I started off with stretched hair from banding. I applied some Giovanni Direct leave-in and coconut oil and detangled her hair. After detangling I parted a circle around her head, parting out between 1-2 inches of hair.



I added a generous amount of coconut oil on the hair that was left out. I then made a side part on her right side and began putting in the rubberbands. I didn't part as much hair out on the sides, so I only needed to use one rubberband for that, as I went back I split the section into two and used two rubberbands, then criss crossed each section to the back section and tied it off with my next section. I hope that makes sense.



She had more hair parted in the back, so it became a little difficult to go all around her head because her hair is thick. So what I did was I stopped right behind her left ear and tied the hair off. I then started a totally new section right by her left ear until I had no more hair.

For the hair that was left out of the rubberbands at the end, I put them in Curlformers and I put the rest of her hair in a ponytail (using a setting lotion) and added Curlformers to that as well. If you do not have Curlformers, you can use a different curler. Or for other options you can leave the middle out and natural, you can do the Princess Tiana Bun, you can do a twist out, etc.



About 2 hours later I took the Curlformers out and took each section of hair, flipped it under, and randomly placed bobbypins to hold the hair down. We put on one of her old Easter dresses and she felt like a princess! She went and got her white gloves and pranced around the house the rest of the day.

The results:









How is your child wearing their hair for Easter? Outfits picked out yet?

Hi! I am back

I just so ya all know what I have been up to, I teach a theater class and costume shows. Here is a link to our review and you will understand why I have been missing in action the last month! LOL
Wizard of Oz

Found some new snaps!

I wanted to make a quick post about these adorable little snaps I found at Burlington Coat Factory in the baby department. I have plenty of heart snaps that I bought from the beauty supply store but I thought these were different from any of the other snaps I have seen before so I bought 3 packs. At $1.99 per pack (of 60) you can't beat that! If you are not familiar with snaps, they are like tiny barrettes that can replace using a rubberband/elastic at the end of beads. You can use them for many other styles as well. Burlington Coat Factory also had a wide variety of other children's accessories and adult accessories.

Happy Shopping!

Ideas for Baby Hairstyles

This post is a long time in coming - So Sorry!

I had an email request for some ideas of styles for BABIES! I sadly realized that Q is not a baby anymore! :)  But she's still pretty close, so here are some ideas for those tiny little baby hairs... Please feel free to email (or upload to Facebook!) pictures of your little baby's hairdo's!!

The first one is a tiny little clip on the side. I really like these tiny clips when working with fine thin hair. Plus they just look so cute and delicate on small heads!

Or you can use the regular size clips - Does anyone know the proper name for this style of clip??!

This picture shows the size difference....

Or you can split the hair in two parts and hold each back with a clip.

(I would say "part" the hair - but just getting it to split into two sections might be more than enough to ask on a wiggly baby!! Straight parts are NOT important while doing baby hair!)

This is the same style, but the hair is being held with tiny claw clips instead. I find clips faster to put in baby hair than elastics - however Q always liked to pull clips out! But she would leave elastics in, so we generally favored elastic hair bands. (or the soft fuzzy - but still stretchy - kind.)

In my opinion, claw clips work best on hair that is a little thicker, whereas the snap clips (name?!) work great on thin or thick hair.

and here is an example of the first style, but using a claw clip instead (the "bangs" hair is pulled to the side and clipped.)

Close ups! lol!! (so you can see what I mean by "tiny" in relation to my fingers!)
Tiny claw clip...

This is a little flower clip that we were given as a baby gift. They actually work quite well - you can see the little "claw" to grip the hair... You could use this in the same way I've shown so far... or you can add it to a style to dress up a normal 'do.

This is a classic baby ponytail - my little niece sports the best kind! :D Her fine, beautiful baby hair sticks Straight up in the air when she has a ponytail in like this. She also (one day anyway) was wearing it really close to her forehead, just like this - which worked well because the hair coming from the crown of her head is really long (which tends to be common in babies, I think)

And, like I mentioned above - any little 'do (ponytails especially) can be dressed up with a bow or other added clip! That way, you get a lot of variety out of the same basic style - just by changing the bow :)

Same idea - but started with the ponytail on the side, then added a bow! 

I hope these help!! If you are looking for other ideas and haven't seen this post yet - take a look! 

Enjoy! and as always, feel free to share your own pictures!

Woo Hooo!

I'm so excited! I just won my very first giveaway!!

Thank you Cassia!!!!! Make sure to go check out her hair blog - Clips, Combs and Curls  :) This is one of my favorite posts - isn't she just adorable! I'm going to have to give this style a try! Or something similar.... :) Gotta love pull-throughs!

Triple Clip Simple Twist

Here's a quick and easy style that I thought was pretty cute!  I actually thought I had already posted it - but I looked, and I don't think I have!

As you can see, all I did was to comb her hair over to the left, then part it in 3 sections. I twisted the first section (while holding it out to the side of her head) and then pulled it straight back and clipped it.

Then I did the same to the second section of Q's hair.

And then the third! (which I'm in the middle of twisting in the previous picture)

That's it! As you can see, I let the twists lay over the previous clip if they wanted to.

What do you think?? :)

Hello? Anyone there?!

It's been months! ;) As I was reading a blog yesterday, I realized how terribly I miss this world!!! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season... Christmas, New Year, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day... Geez, it's almost Easter! ;) I haven't read or posted in so long, I'm not sure I remember what to do. Lol! But I will try! I have done a ton of new hairstyles since last fall, but I think I'll just start with now. ;) For my first post back, I'll just post a few pics of my favorite little models... my kids. ;)

First is my Michael-man ;) He didn't really want to do pictures, but at least I got one sweet smile from him! Oh, and that smile is getting ready to change big time... he's losing a front tooth, so cute!

And here's my sweet Joshy. The charmer and adorable blue-eyed blonde of the family! He's starting to get these beyond cute freckles on his nose and cheeks! ;)

And last, that firecracker you know as Alexandra. ;) Still cute and red as ever, she has been doing some modeling and online pageants and tons of playing! ;) Currently, she is in a cute kid contest and would love to have your vote! It is just a one-time vote by this Friday, so really not much work. ;) Thank you for supporting her!

Shea Butter

Shea Butter is a new experience for me! But I'm learning there are many uses for it. Most commonly it is used as a moisturizer. Whether it works because it's a fat and locks in the moisture so the hair can use it - or whether it is moisturizing in and of itself - I don't know! I've read things from different sources that seem to conflict with each other. But the one thing that still holds true, either way you look at it - Shea Butter can help moisturize your hair! Keeping it soft, supple and shiny, too!



Here are a few links to browse :)

Hair Boutique  (a thread in their forum about recipes to make yourself - all for your hair! Some include Shea Butter as an ingredient, and some don't.)

a GREAT clip from this website helps me understand the stuff a lot more!...


What is African Shea Butter?
Shea Butter is a fat derived from the fruit of the karite tree in Africa. Reviewing the Cosmetics Database, as it stands now, shea butter has a toxicity rating of 0 and its scientific name is BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII. Hopefully, more research can be done on this product so more benefits can be found for its use.

The website is called Natural Hair Grows.

 And here's a post about Hair Butter Recipes! Taken from The Blacker the Berry..... 

Easy Toddler Twist Hairdo

This one was so quick and easy I just had to post it! 

(Sorry no step by step pics, but I think you can manage without!)

We bought some Shea Butter last night and so today was mostly about playing with that and seeing how it affects Q's hair - but we still needed a style, too! I figure Q likes being able to see and not have her hair in her face all day :) So this is what we did! I just parted it in four sections and rolled them each towards the back of her head. Two going to the left and two going to the right. Then I clipped them! TaDa!

Stay tuned for a post about my adventures in using the Shea Butter and Coconut Oil in Q's hair!!
