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!

My Dreams come true!

Hi all you out there in hair land. It has been a dream of mine for quite some time to own a chi hair straightener. Well, I found a place in our local classified adds (K.S.L.) for all you locals out there. This girl was selling new chi's in the box for 40.00. I am sure they are off the back of a truck some where but this is how the deal went down. I called this girl, She set up a meeting place. So I go with my kids (and DH) to the back of this Karate studio to wait, I call and pull in and she comes to my car with the chi, I pass her the cash out the window and she gives me my ultra cool straightener! I felt like I should have blind folded my kids or something. I kept joking that it felt like I was buying drugs or something..... anyhow I now have my coolieo tool and I LOVE IT! as you all can tell from most of my pics, my girls have tonz of hair and I have twice that much! I always joke that I am really an amazon bush woman at heart! but this baby cuts threw my hair with ease! Here are some pics as we were getting ready for a fourth of July party!

for baby Mermaid I just flipped her hair (with the chi) I also did a quick little puffy braid across the front to keep her hair out of her eyes! my husband now understands why I wanted this so bad! He was like you curl with a straightener? I was like yes! that's one of the reasons I have been bugging you for this for years!

the back of the flip

This one was the show stopper! I don't like all the attention she got when she wore her hair like this but it was very pretty! We put red white and blue hair bling in for the holiday in all the girls hair but It really stands out in hers! and the curls....Need I say more?

Her hair is really hard to curl, but she slept on this the next day we pulled it into a pony and it still had nice wave! impressed!

2nd day curly hair!

We had Baby Mermaids hair up in Curlformers Yesterday and it still had some nice curl left so we did just simple pigtail today check it out!

This is what it looked like when she woke up! nasty I know but we combed carefully not to brush out all the curl

Parted the hair in two sections and did a lowish pigtail. added some bows and....

Your done I love under five minute hair dos on a school morning!

curlformers agian!

today we went with curly hair! the plus of this hairdo is it will be a two day-er! I love 2 day hair so this is day one!

Here is her hair after I have taken it out of the Curlformers (the worlds best curlers!) I am working on getting a giveaway up and going for these!

I put her hair in the long green and blue ones on the bottom half and the orange and pink on the top half, I wish I had all pink and orange, they fit long hair better!

then I pulled all of her hair back and hooked it with bobby pins, I could only find dark ones that I use in to cool for hair's hair but they show up in the picture better I guess

We put a bow in over the bobby pins, you know me!

Here she is from the front and ready for school! on a side note I just listed a bunch of valentine bows, they are really cute! you may want to go to chic-clips to check them out! and remember to enter to win bows at http://chic-clipsgiveaway.blogspot.com/

loose braid and triple barrel curls

I love Sam's Hair on Icarly. I love curly hair that is well maintained, not the ratty sick hair that you see on a daily basis at the grocery store but, that beautiful hair that you see in the movies that is bouncy and full of life! I guess this comes from having the worlds straightest hair.

So, I tried this hairdo on baby Mermaid!When I curl or crimp or triple barrel the girls hair I always work from the bottom up, I part the hair and then twist the top hair up and hook it with a octopus clip. Then I spray the lose part with hairspray and then curl, I found a product that I love, but it goes on and off the market all the time! So if I ever see it I buy it in bulk its made by tigi and it is called up tight heat activated curl enhancer, you spray it and then curl, it will hold a curl for days even on my girls straight hair!Now when I first got my triple barrel curler, I was so excited but I couldn't figure out how to work it, I was trying to roll it like you would a normal curling Iron ya I know its stupid! but it is more like a crimper! you just put it in between, clamp down, open and move down and curl again! You are all smart enough to figure that out I am sure, I don't know why I had such a hard time with it!

now I just keep taking hair off the top and spraying and then "curling" this took about a half hour, but quite honestly it lasted two days so, in my opinion it was worth it! but my girls have tonz of long hair so it could take longer or shorter depending on you child.

so when I get to the top section instead of holding my curler so the hair will lay straight and fall down the back I turn it on a 90 degree angle to the last curls so it falls down the sides of their face, if you don't understand my instructions check out the pics! see how the curls frame her face? of course you could end here but I have to keep going!

Now I just did a very loose french braid, don't pull tight! I know that is opposite of what I always say, but just make it as loose as you can. I didnt part this out before I did it I just took little chunks so it would look very natural.

repeat on the other side.

Hook both braids together in the back. and

your done!

have a little cheese with your pic!
