Uneven 3 strand braids in a pony tail.

Yesterday the gal over at Babes in Hair Land did a style done with an uneven 3 strand braid, I loved the way it looked, I had never seen it before so I went over to her sight and learned how to do the braid and decided I would do my own style with it today.

1) Make and exaggerated side part, them part from ear to ear, like this. Start with the section with the least amount of hair do the Uneven 3 strand braid.

2) Divided the section that has more hair in half, then do the Uneven braid with the top half. Once the braids are done set them aside then pull the rest of the hair together in a pony tail add the braids before securing with an elastic.

I just left the pony tail as it was but you could continue the braid, or put it in a bun, whatever you like use your imagination.

So I seem to be having an UN lucky day today, first let me give ya a little back story, Ryne lost one of my contacts and it was the last pair I had, so I have been wearing my 6 yr old won't even stay on my face if I look down glasses, until I could get in to see my Dr. Well this morning as I was doing Ryne's hair I made the mistake of looking down, my glasses slid off my face and since my hands were full of hair I didn't catch them, they landed in the sink the lens and the screw popped out, I found both but as I was trying to repair them blindly(I am literally legally blind without my glasses)I dropped them and lost the black screw in my black carpet!! So you may be wondering how I am writing this post if I am blind the answer would be I still have 1 good contact and I have no other choice but to wear it. I just thought the was kinda a funny story just wanted to share. Oh yeah I called the Dr. office to let them know my situation and they are going to give me a trial pair until I can get in to see the Dr. Yeah so by this afternoon I should have both my eyes back. ;)

Tiny Braids Pony Tail

Sometimes I like a good old fashioned pony tail, Ryne looks really cute with a pony tail but she still has a lot of short hair in the front and by the end of the day most of her hair is in her face, which kinda defeats the purpose of a pony tail. Today I decided to just do some small braids in the front to hold all the short hair together.

1) Start by pulling out a small amount of hair going all around her head like this........

2) Separate into smaller sections and braid, I did 7 braids all together I did NOT do the braids all the way around her head, just until about the back of her ear like this...

3)Once you have finished the braids, pull them aside out of the way and gather the rest of the hair with an elastic pulling it into a pony tail and securing with an elastic, then pull the braids back and add then to the pony tail, I just secured them with another elastic.

I left the back section out because this hair falls out anyway, so I just sprayed it with water and scrunched it a little. You can pull this hair up into the pony, or you could braid it and then add it to the pony tail.

I curled the ends of her pony tail under.Add a cute flower and your done!!We will see how well this held up when she gets home from school.:)

Fabric Flower Link

Thank you Triskit, I went right over to Girly Do's by Jen and found the link, someone else had also left a comment on her post and linked to another fabric flower tutorial this one is very cute as well, and I will be tryin it soon, ok those are the the links check them out and happy flower making!!

Head band and Dutch Braid

Ryne LOVES headbands but they always slide backwards so I came up with this style to remedy the problem.

1) Part a front section of hair from about the middle of one ear over to the other, then start on the far side and do a Dutch braid (the braid will go from ear to ear), once the braid is done secure with an elastic, then put on the headband and let the other hear down, curl the ends and that's it.

Sorry about the crappy pictures my settings got changed and I didn't realize it till later. I am sure ya get the idea though. :)

Polka dot flower hair!

Isn't this the cutest fabric flower!? Another hair blog feature it they learned how to make it from another blog, I can't remember which hair blog I got it from so I am really sorry, I will look for it and see if I can get the link, but if any of you know were this was featured let me know. Ok so I made this flower to go with a shirt that I made my daughter, this is the style we did nothin super fancy.

1) Start parting a front section (my part went to the back of the ears.) Once that is done part that section into 3 sections.

2) French braid each section, once they are all done gather the braids and the remaining hair and secure with an elastic, the braid the pony tail, secure with an elastic. Now you can leave it like that or you can do what I did and tuck the braid under the elastic, then add a bow or flower or some other fun creation.

Puff Braid Halo with Ribbon

On Sunday Ryne wanted a "fancy all up hair do with NO hair on mines neck" and I remembered a style I saw over by Jen over at GirlyDo'sbyJen she did a French Braid Halo that I loved and have been wanting to try, but we were running and little late for church so I decided to do a puff braid halo instead, it turned out really cute.There aren't any step by step pictures ( I really need to work on that) by the time I remember to take pictures I am already done with the style, but this is VERY easy.

1) Start by parting down the middle like you are going to do pig tails, secure ones side out of the way. Take the side you are going to work with and divide it into 3 sections, then I started with the upper left section put it into a pony tail then set it off to the side, then take the next section smooth it how you want then add the pony tail from the last section then continue all the way around the head. You can do a high halo or a low halo, I did a low halo so I kept all of the pony tails down by the hairline. Once you go all the way around, secure the last of the hair by overlapping it with the beginning pony tail and that's it easy peasy! If you would like to put ribbon in like I did take a LARGE quilting needle and 1/4in ribbon and weave it in how ever you want then secure it.

There are so many things you can do with this style to pretty it up. When doing the ribbon you can end it in the back and leave the rest of your ribbon hanging, or you could put flowers all the way around it, baby's breath also looks really cool in a style like this use your imagination.

Many people that complimented on this style thought that it had taken me a long time to do, I just smiled and said thanks, they have no clue that it only took about 10 mins!!

Twisty Pig tails Messy buns.

1) Start by parting a front section of the hair ( I parted from the back of each ear), then part that section in half.

2) Starting with one of the half sections part in half again, then do a twist or rope french style with one section secure it with an elastic, then do it with the other section, once that is done combine the 2 sections and secure with an elastic. Do this to the other side of the head.

3)Continue your middle part all the way down to the nap of the neck pull one side into pony tail catching the twists then do a messy bun, do the same thing to the other side and then add some bows if desired.

I feel like I am constantly apologizing for the lack of pictures, this time my batteries died and I didn't get new ones till today so I am reallly really sorry that I only have 2 pictures, if ya have any questions let me know.
