Weaving twisted ponytails

This hairstyle was inspired by Hairstyles For Girls - The Story Of A Princess And Her Hair. I changed a couple things from hers. For Madison I included the "bangs" because I don't have any clips. I desperately need to make a trip to Sally's. We used the Got 2b smooth operator again. It does very good at controlling the fly a ways. I've used it all week and it makes for nice hair control. I haven't used it on myself yet. I will probably today but I typically only have fly a ways when it's in a pony. For this hairstyle I first parted out the square and then parted it in to 4 ponytails securing them as I go. After the pony's were set I divided the front 2 pony's in to 3 and twisted each section (one pony at a time). Then I secured a rubber band at the end of those 3 twists so that I could weave easier. I then took the other pony and twisted the 3 sections and had Madison hold each twisted one till I was done. Then I took one at a time and weaved through the other twist and secured them to the pony diagonal from the one I was weaving so the pony's are diagonal. Then I took the 3 twists that were secured just with a rubber band and refreshed the twists and secured them to the pony.

Hairweaving

So I saw this hairstyle on http://www.princesshairstyles.com/2010/06/woven-hair-headband.html. Today I tried it and it looks nice. I used some new stuff in her hair today. It's called Got 2b Smooth operator. I am a bzz agent for bzzagent.com and sometimes I get to try things out for free in return for my own feedback. So far I like this stuff. It has a nice feel and smells good. However I don't know how it's going to hold Madison's hair. She has crazy hair so we shall see! For this hairstyle I parted Madison's hair in to 1/2 up in 8 ponies. Then I split the ponies and twisted them and wove them and attached them to the back ponies. Oh and excuse the rubber bands. I need to go buy more. I think I have enough to get through the week for simple hair do's LOL.

2 braid headband

Ok so this isn't exactly what I wanted. I really wanted this. But Madison's hair is too thin on the sides for it to work well. So I just did 2 straight braids. I think it's pretty self-explanatory. I just divided out a section of hair, then divided it in to 2 and braided each starting on the same side :)

4 pony tails!

Ok so I asked Madison how she wanted her hair yesterday and she wanted 3 ponies. So I did a repeate! Today I asked how many and she wanted 4! So I parted like I was doing 2 1/2 ponies on top. Braided those 2 and then did 2 more 1/2 ponies on bottom. I took the braided 2 and twisted them so that the one on the left went to the pony on the bottom left. It looks cute :D

Well I guess I better get back in this. Madison makes it hard on my by telling me how she wants her hair fixed. It's harder to be creative that way!! I have a new style thanks to http://cute2tryhairdos.blogspot.com/! I changed mine just a bit by not putting the braids as Madison still has shortish hair. It's not too short however it curls and appears short :). So basically I made 4 pony tails to start with. The middle 2 I split in half and the ends I put the whole thing to make the next set 3 pony tails and the same for 2 pony tails next.(Please excuse the book and my vacuum and cord)

I'm BACK!!

Ok so after I put the tree up I couldn't find my charger :X

Ok so for this hair style to get some hair out of the way I did the top first. I started with the part down the center and then across the crown. On the right (her right) side I pulled her hair in to a pony and braided it and rubber banded it. Then I pulled the other side up in to a pony took the rubber band out of the other braid and braided it as one pony and connected it to the third pony to hang loose. Then starting on the opposite side in the back I did the same thing. So she has too loose pony's as if she had "puppy dog ears" as my mom used to call it. It's stays all day and stays neat. Madison loved it :D My blogs may get farther apart after I catch up. Madison tells me how she wants her hair now and well that doesn't always leave much creativity when she wants it down. I only know a couple ways that I have already posted so that it doesn't look uncombed at the end of the day LOL. I did this hairstyle back during TDay when I had family in so I don't know who I got this from but thanks to that mama if she sees it :D

Busy

I am busy with my family in town right now. I am still taking pictures and doing hair. I will post if I get time this week otherwise I will be back next week :D

Braids and pony

Sorry there was no new post yesterday. We just didn't have time as I babysat my tiny itsy little bitty niece before she went to school :D. This is a slight spin off of Priss' hair do as before with a slight difference. I'm trying to make it mess up free @@. SO instead of squishing the braids I left them as regular braids then I did the first step to knotting it and laid it on top of each other. Its hard to explain but I got pics :D. Most times I couldn't tell you where I got Madison's bows. Most I have had for awhile. This bow I got just for this outfit from Sara's Scraps.

squished braids and pony.

This was a quick hairstyle. I wasn't sure how it was gonna turn out since Priss has shorter hair. But it turned out really cute. I parted her hair like I was gonna do 2 half up ponies. I put rubber bands towards the back so that her hair was more towards the back. Then I braided each pony. To squish it up I held the 2 outside pieces in one hand and the middle in the other and pulled. When done your braid will be considerably shorter. You have to work with it if it's wet. I found that dry it slides nicely when I was just practicing but I can't fix her hair dry or it won't look finished well. After both sides are done then rubber banded it off and pull the rest of the hair in a pony and add the braids. Then I took a small piece and pinned it up so that the rubber band was covered and your done :) I looked at a blog this morning that reminded me of the squished braids. I don't remember which it was or if this was the hairstyle so I can't give credit. I will keep hunting for it though :)

upside down braid with curlies

I got the template for this from Girl hairdos and Ideas. First what I did was part her hair half up and and clipped it to keep it out of my way. Then I made her put her head in my lap and comb all the left down hair up. I started her braid at the nape of her neck and went up. I rubber banded it and then combed the rest back to be in the pony. I took some bobby pins and pinned some of her curls in places so it looked all fancy and pretty :) I also used the comb and combed some of the spaces over so it didn't look so sloppy on her right side. It was kind of hard to grab hair from that area the way she had her head positioned.

zigzag Wish bone braids

This was an easy do. I did a zig zag part and pulled it back and braided it on each side. Then I merged the braid. Starting from the left I put the left side and middle together for the first strand, then I put the left right peice and right left peice together then the right middle and right right strand together. So basically you merge the 2 closest peices to go from 6 strands to 3 strands. That sounds so confusing I hope you get it LOL. Mine wasn't quite centered but I can't redo Madison's hair or it will start frizzing once it dries :(. Ohh well. I just learn to be imperfect :)

Half french braid half up

So if you know how to french braid this will be easy for you. One day I will post a tutorial for you. I just gotta have another person home so that it can be filmed :). So for this braid instead of adding hair to both ends I only added hair to the right side. I braided back to her crown and then I rubber banded it off and put a bow in and scrunched up her curls :). Easy peasy :D It didn't take long so we did a "photo shoot" where we were being silly. She loves her pictures being taken. I hope that never changes :D
