Baby Mermaid's Swim Hair

We have swim lessons for our 2 youngest kids this week! So you know what that means! Swim Hair! I think that if I am paying that much for lessons, I don't want them to worry about their hair in the eyes flipping hair around etc. so get ready for a couple of posts on braids messy buns and updo's.

I did three dutch braids back and forth across her head

Then I pulled the rest of her hair up into pigtails and then messy bun loops

I really wish I would have made big bows to go swimming with! then I could tell what kid was mine from across the pool, but I haven't yet! LOL only I would want swim bows but y'all know me!

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!

3 french braids into fantails

Spring break is almost over, but we went out to a place called Antelope Island (its an Island on the Great Salt Lake) I have lived about an hour and a half away from it for my whole life and have never been there! They have some great Mountain bike trails, (my husband is big into the biking thing) so we loaded up the kids and headed off but not before we did hair that would stay out of their eyes (its windy) when their bike helmets are off and the helmets would fit over hair so this is what we came up with for Baby Mermaid!

Here I have split the hair into three sections, one across the front and two pigtail sections

braids down the two pigtails, fantail on the one side

french braid across the front

pull the front braid back and under the fantail

hook with a clear elastic on french braid

fold into a fantail

from the front

top back view. after we got there I was so glad that we did her hair up tight because they played and played on the sandy beach! her hair was full of sand when we got home! this would be a great do for the beach!

here are the girls at sunset! it was a great fun time! (weird thing on baby Mermaids nose,it was a camera thing not a deformity we have been hiding all these years! LOL)

More braids, More Pigtails

Hey Ladies! I feel like I am back into the swing of hair doing after my couple of months of nothing but pigtails! I saw this cute do on Redpunzel and had to chic-clipify it so here goes my twist on her do! I took my kiddos up to the Children's Museum of Utah today and I could hear a ton of moms whispering to each other about her hair! Just a side note if you see one of my kids out in the world with me its o.k. to say wow cute hair how did you do that!

I pulled all of her hair into pigtails except for a square in the front and a square in the back

I french braided her square back and then split the french braid into two braids hooking them into her pigtails

tipped her head upside down and did the same thing for the back square!

added some bows of course!

and out the door we went! Hope you loved it, and thanks Rachel, the only thing we need now is for her to be a red head and she would fit in on both our blogs!

Hippie Pigtails

Today Baby Mermaid requested "hippie pigtails" I think because she designed some new bows to go with her Easter outfit and her aunt gave her a headband! so this is what I came up with that used both new hair accessories. WARNING this post is over accessorized but it turned out very cute! we may start using three hair accessories on a regular basis LOL

I started a french braid here in the center of her part going toward her ear,

I already have the other side done.

Braiding

this is where I finished off her braid,

I left the rest of her hair long, Oh by the way I bought some Tresemme conditioner LOVE it! It leaves her hair so smooth!

Here she is with her cute bows that she designed you can see them here at Chic-Clips Chic-Clips and her rocking hippie headband!

and here she is flashing us a peace sign I guess this was a good version of Hippie Pigtails!

thanks for looking

knotty hair part deux

Wow, I cant believe that it is soo long since my last post! February has been a killer! you would think that I would be back in the groove after the holidays but to tell you the truth I still yearn to crawl back into a warm bed and sleep through february! With the Transmission going out in our only vehicle right before Christmas, and making it through that with the help of some good friends and family! till getting ready for my "real job" to kick in, I work for a youtheatre group and we are preforming the Wizard Of Oz next month and we have to get almost 300 costumes ready! My life has really just been a blur and ponytails! so bare with me and hopefully I can get back to the swing of things!

So here we took yesterdays knots and pulled them back into pigtails, It was a super easy 2day hair do!

of course I added some bows to finish it off.

and you are done!
