Poof Braid to Bun

This style is fun easy and perfect for Gymnastics

I started by pulling up her bangs in the front and making a poof.

Then I took a small straight section of hair along the poof line and make a simple braid.

Then all the hair got pulled into a low ponytail.

Now make a bun with the hair in the ponytail.  

April Hair Carnival: Copy Cat Style!

For this months Hair carnival each blogger was secretly assigned another blog, and had to choose a style to recreate. The blog I was assigned to was Precious Curls. Right from the start I knew this was going to be a challenge because Precious' hair type is so different from Keyanna's. After looking through all the styles on her blog we chose to go with the Zig Zag Flat Twists in a Bun. 

This style was really quick and easy, although I didn't do our flat twists the same way precious did hers. Hers are  more like a 2 strand twist (which look a lot cooler) I just haven't mastered that technique yet.. so I basically just "rolled" the hair for our flat twists. 

I loved this style and will def be doing it again in the future! 

Don't forget to check out all the other great copy cat styles!

Toddler Fancy Hair

As I have mentioned so many times my daughters hair is so fine and difficult to work with that when I start a hairstyle I always hope that it turns out cute.

We started by making a small poof in the front of her head.

Because of how short and thin her hair is we took the bottom half of her hair and secured it upwards with an elastic. 

Then all the hair gets pulling into a high ponytail.  I put ringlets in her hair using the flat iron.

Once the ringlets were done I used bobbie pins to lay them in place. 

Below is the top back view of her head.

This last picture is to show everyone how much fun we have doing her hair.  As you can see she is full of it and always a moving target for hairstyles. 

Roll to Side Bun

We are on a roll at our house. 

This one is very easy and fast.

 Start on the left side of her head and make a roll adding new hair each roll similar to adding hair to a french braid.  Roll all the way to the right side of her head.

Below shows that I just pulled the right side hair back to meet the roll.  Then secure all the hair in an elastic. 

 Make a messy bun and we added a flower for our accessory.

Rolls to Side Bun

This is a fun and easy style that takes about 5 minutes. 

Start with 1 simple roll across the top front of her head.

Make a 2nd roll parallel to the first roll secure both with an elastic

Pull all the remaining hair into a low side ponytail.

From the ponytail make a messy bun.  I always use bobbie pins to control how I want the bun to look.

My daughter requested a flower to add as an accessory.

Toddler Rolls

Although my daughters hair is very thin we got the rolls to stay in and they actually looked very cute.

I started on the right side and rolled her hair by pulling up new hair as we went back.

Then I made the same roll along the left side of her head.  

Because the end ponytail was very small we made a cute little messy bun at the end.

 She wanted a big flower so we put it over the messy bun. She ended up with a cute princess style. I didn't get a picture of the flower or the front.
