Bump it (kinda)

For our hair do today, I saw this cute do in a magazine when I took Monkey Man to get his hair cut and I just had to try it! so here goes!

I curled her hair with my flat Iron of awesomeness! I love these loose bouncy curls on the ends!

Then I just ratted out her hair and hooked it with bobby pins, I should have walked up and got our baby bumpit but I was to lazy!

Then I pulled hair from each side crossed it over the bobby pins and hooked it under with a bobby pin

here it is from the back

and from the front! super fast and easy!

braids and pigtails......shocking!

So here is a braided hairdo again its braids and pigtails...... shocking I know!

So I put the hair in pigtails except for the front part which I braids from center to side.

then I wrapped each braid under the pigtail on the side that the braid is located and hooked it into the opposite pigtail with an elastic

Added some bows cause you know that's what I do!

And there ya have it a really easy 10 minute do with just a touch of spice!

Simple.... Sweet

Today I wanted something simple that I could use for two days, So I just did two simple knots on each side and let the rest lay long...

here she is from the top!

stick a bow on that head and out the door she goes!

see my second day do next time!

Day 3 hair challenge!

Here is the picture of her hair day three before we started

Yuck! glad I do my kids hair in the morning!

I just re combed her hair and put in new elastics, this time though I just put in the four pigtails I didn't hook in the top to the bottom ones...yet

Now I took the top pigtail braided it in two, and then hooked the braids to the bottom pigtails by crossing the middle ones!

Added bows of course!

and here she is out the door for the day!

pigtails, diamonds and a hauser or two

Here is baby Mermaid in her new Christmas outfit, for some reason I have wanted a sock monkey shirt and bows and I finally got this adorable shirt from http://www.stitcheroos.com/

I love it and of course I had to make some bows! but on to the hair!

I parted out four little braids in the front and four in the back, then I took most of the hair and made two big pigtails

This is how I pulled the braids into the pigtails, instead of weaving them like I usually do I just pulled the outside straight up and the center ones crossed to the opposite pigtails, It was easy!

Here is a view from the top, but  it shows the hair really well!

With the bows, I just love the brown and red of these bows!

And one cute little monkey! Thanks for reading my blog!

classic flip

We did a classic flip on the little princess, I got brave and did it with my flat iron! Here I am flipping away!
see how it works, see the concentration in my face, yeah, I published this one anyway, dude I must be crazy!

from the front

with a flower to hold back her bangs

from the back, tada I am done!

Lattice pigtails

This is one of our quickies that we do fairly often! I got it from She does hair! one of my favorite blogs! So I split her hair into pigtails and then split the hair into six sections three on each side.
Cross the front two to the middle two, easy peasy

then cross the middle ones to the back!

Eyes closed from the front

from the back with some of the worlds biggest bows!

Fairy tale braid!

We did this braid on to Cool for Hair! She went to school and everyone thought that it was "cool" so I guess that it is a winner! Start by parting out a little section in the front of her head!

Section into 3 pieces
start your braid

Then pull your first piece of braid and don't add it to your braid but pull it straight threw, it helped for 2 Cool for Hair to hold it.

then I braided it again not pulling hair from the bottom,

once again I got to the place in my braid where I had to pull from the top and I pulled it all the way through not hooking it into the braid.

Just keep on repeating until you get as far as you want your braid to go!
sorry that my finger nails are so sick! I just canned a ton of salsa and I ended up having to cut and bleach my fingernails to get the orange tint out of them! LOL

Here is her hair all braided! She loved it, It looked done but not over done! I loved it that it held the hair out of her eyes!

there is a video on Youtube that shows it really well. Have fun doing hair!

braids, headband blah blah blah!

So, today I had something else in mind totally but baby Mermaid did not get enough sleep and Kinda twigged so here goes. so I did a french braid that went across the front.
then I did a second row that was a dutch braid. here is where we deviated from plan

I took both the braids and hooked them under her long hair

stuck a bow in there and See ya! go bug your teacher!

pigtails with twisted rows

AHHH, I really try to post once a day but life seems to be going so fast lately! I thought that with Monkey Man in school I would have tonz of time, but to my dismay I have not had extra time at all! So, after spending the whole day at a leadership pow wow for cub scouts and the kiddos spending the whole day at the pool with their daddy, we got back together with time to throw the kids in the shower to wash off the chlorine and get to a church BBQ picnic! so with minutes to spare we did a cute do on baby mermaid, this went together really fast! I pulled back the back part into two high pigtails
then I parted the front part on the side and then parted each side into three sections

Now these are not fancy twists, I just twisted the hair all together until it layed flattish on her head and turned back to the pigtail

Here is all three on this side

a weird front view, have you ever noticed when you are in a hurry your kids are the least cooperative? crazy huh!

top view with some wild bows I love these bows, and this really went together very fast, and just added a little something special to her piggies!
