Hair-dos

 Here's the latest attempts at cool hair styles. For Valentines day we did a double heart, but I forgot to take a picture. My daughter liked it so much she requested a heart with a fishbone braid.

 

 Upon seeing her sister's hair my youngest requested a "lil go fish braid"

For St. Patty's day we found this triple braid. It was super easy and I'll probably do it again.

Just for the fun of it we tried this braid in a braid, its very similar to things I've done on my own in the past, but I liked her suggestion of pulling the sides out.

 For Easter I wanted something special. I looked for ideas and thought an upside down french braid with a bun looked nice. I didn't follow a tutorial since I learned to french braid a few months ago. After doing it I wish I had watched a tutorial because mine doesn't look as pretty as the ones I saw when I googled images.

Doll Hair

My girls love their dolls they received for Christmas, but who knew their hair would get so crazy so quick. This was one of the dolls...hello stock treatment dolly. 

 

 Luckily for me I found many tutorials on taking care of doll hair. A lot of them suggested using a mixture of Downy fabric softener and water. I don't use fabric softener, so instead I used my girl's untangle spray. It worked well, but my camera wasn't at the time so I didn't get a pic of it nice and smooth and straight afterwards. 

Here's a pic of the doll's hair in twists while its wet to produce curls. 

 

 As you can see my camera was still acting funny. We let the hair dry and then took out the twists and here's the end results, pretty and tamed.

 

Braids

I have a niece who has long gorgeous hair and my daughter wants her hair like her cousin's. Of course then the movie Tangle came out and that sealed the desire for long hair. I do a lot with it, but there were a few skills that I needed to learn. 
Thanks to videos online I learned how to french braid.

 A friend had told me its easier for beginners to start with a small ponytail at the top of the head. She was so right, it was a lot easier. 

I also learned how to do a 4 strand braid.
