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!

The Fauxhawk, pre-tweens, and David Boreanaz.

Okay, so this is inspired the look David Boreanaz wore when he played Angel on Buffy (anybody remember that?)... My little man likes it when I fix his hair a new way. Dad has always shaved the boys hair to about a 1/4 inch. I talked him into giving me at least one year of longer hair:) Although, they are in need of trims!

In any case, this is a cute 'do. I made a messy fauxhawk this time since he has so much hair on the sides right now. It is super easy and can be adjusted and altered into several looks. I basically just goop up his hair with strong gel, comb everything up and to the middle from the sides. Because my guy has curly hair, I then brushed the comb very lightly across the crest of hair to send the curls up a little. And aren't these kids just too adorable... flirting already!
And there you have it! My little charmer... Such a cutie:)

A Moderate Mess... For Boys:)

This is a cute, easy style for boys. My little guy is growing his hair out a little and it is crazy in this in between phase:) I wish I had a before pic... he has super soft, super straight hair that sticks straight out from his head! He looks like a fuzzy baby hedgehog:)

This is what the top looks like when finished... out of order, sorry!

And then the back, see that nice cowlick right at his crown?

Okay, so to start this one off, I goop his hair up with all sorts of stuff. Today I used gel, mud, and hairspray... yes all three together! May sound funny, but it works for us.

I grab patches of hair and then give them a good twist, hold it for a few seconds. I do it all over the top. The sides I just smooth down, no big fuss about making it perfect.

This is the result of the twisting. For today's style, I did three rows of twists. Sorry for the cruddy pics... still on macro:(

Gently pat the hair down. His naturally sticks up, so this is necessary for us. You might not pat all the way down, but still pat it a little.

I use my fingers as a comb of sorts to fluff the hair back up. I know this sounds like I'm doing things over, but skipping any of these steps gets a totally different look:)

He loves the front sticking straight up like Leo from Little Einstein's. I just grab the hair at the front near the scalp and pinch while pulling up. I sprayed the whole thing with hairspray. That soft hair means I have to use everything to keep it in place!

Just look at those puppy dog eyes:)
