how to bleach tips for a boy!

My little monkey man is a crazy hair obsessed little man, He loves his hair just so and since he was three he wanted his hair tipped! I flat out refused until he turned 5, I thought he would forget, but forget he would not! Then I refused to pay 30 bucks for him to get tips so I ran to my favorite store ever Sally's Hair Supply! and they had this set for 7 bucks! The instructions say to mix it all at once but I only do about a tablespoon at a time! The one kit and I do about 7 or 8 tip jobs! all the neighborhood boys have it done! so you mix the stuff one part to one part really easy.

then you spike up all the hair and brush just the tips, told you it was easy and way to easy to pay 30 dollars!

Here he is happy as a clam and all bleached up!

Now his favorite part! he gets to sit and play video games for 1 hour!
tada! tips and a happy little boy!

short hair do #1

Here is a hair do that I have done a couple of times on the little princess since she has cut her hair short! so I parted out the front section, due to the fact that we lost all of our hairdoing clips on vacation I am using elastics!
Then I hooked the sides back so that my parts would still be straight when I braided her hair.

braided the hair pulling strands only from the front so the braid would stand up on one edge. this is also a dutch french braid which helps it pop up.

still braiding

took out the extra elastics, combed the back smooth, and your done

pony tail with braids just for fun

What kind of hair should we do, a ponytail? Never! unless we spice it up a bit! we started by parting the hair from ear to ear and then parting that section on a dramatic diagonal part. Combed smooth and hair sprayed and then braided back one of the sections
combed, hairspray braid again!

this pic shows the part really good. then I just combed all the loose hair into a low pony and hooked the braids in with an elastic! really easy but a little bit fun!

back, before it has been "bowed"

on with the hair
So... Today I thought Easy. and I pulled out this hairdo from the dark recesses of my mind, It I am sure has been done before and possibly blogged about! If you have done this do, by all means let me know! I can't remember where we originally saw this one! (oh I forgot to mention, the little princess did not get hair extensions, I have a few more long hair pics of her!)

so, I started out by parting the hair into four sections and braiding the hair, I put pomade in the hair first to reduce frizzies on the braids

Then, I crossed the braids and hooked the bottoms together like this It kind of makes 2 Vs


from the front, I love this hair it looks simple and classic from the front

and a little sassy in the back, with a pair of our favorite korkers!

Trash Tie bunns

I Bought my trash ties last Christmas, was so excited to use them and quite honestly do not love them, I have only used them a couple of times, and I won't purchase any more, if you have them and love them! great, this is of course my opinion, but enough with the rant and on with the hair! so this is baby Mermaids hair and we wanted it up because it was going to be hot! I started with the hair in a high pony and with an elastic then I made a slip type knot out of the trash tie and tightened it up in her hair!

see it really is made out of a wire!

Here I am wrapping the hair and the "trash tie" together

Then I just twist it up on itself and then "sew" the end into the hair and fold it over on itself, I have a hard time getting these in tight but last minute we decided to go swimming and it stayed in beautiful! for which I was very surprised I think it is because we put it in a pony with an elastic first!

here is the back with a bow. When I made this bow set a couple of years ago my dear sweet supportive husband said "seriously Heather, the poor kid looks like Princess Leah" now we try to wear them one at a time or as really high pigtails

I have been teasing baby mermaid because she closes her eyes for every pic, she is super sensitive to light so this is her funny "mom, I am opening my eyes pic"

When it rains it pours!

piggies in a pen

so on baby Mermaid to day we made piggies in a pen, or a french braid square around our pigtails, Its really easy and a great one to practice your french braiding skills. so I parted her hair down the middle and then I separated it into three sections! Put pigtails in the middle sections over her ears

Then I braided the front sections straight across, and then when I got to the end of the french braid I just braided it back far enough to hook it into my pigtail.

There is the front done!

now I did the same thing on the back!

hook those braids into the pigtails

and your done, your pigtails are in a nice little braided pen! I don't know where my pic is with bows and from the front! just imagine it o.k.
