Loopy Messy Bun

Get out those bobby pins girls, we're going to make loops today.


Start with a ponytail
Section out a part of the ponytail. I made five sections with hers.

Loop the section up over the ponytail...like so.


Here is where the bobby pins come in handy. Use the bobby pins to secure the loop to the hair. When you put the bobby pins in, cross them. It helps them to stay secure and not slip. Don't worry about the end of the hair...we will fix that later. Just push it to the side and ignore it.



Loop the rest of your sections. See all that stray hair? Here is where we fix it.


Pull the ends up through your loops. I did this by dividing the ends in half and putting each half out the side of it's loop. You can stop right here if you want to because I love the messy look. But my daughter doesn't, so we kept on going.

I curled each of the ends with my trusty flat-iron.
Then I sprayed the heck out of it with hairspray because it was a rainy day and her hair doesn't do so well in the rain.
Then added flowers to the top.


Now, I should have fluffed each of the curls to give it a messy look...but as I said, it was a rainy day and that would have just been a big old mess because we went to lunch and shopping. I didn't want to deal with a big old mess.

This is what it's all about

I am so excited. I am getting pictures from all of you on styles you have taken from here and made them your own!

Cami sent me these and I was so happy to see what she had done. She had tried the Lattice Ponytails and they turned out darling.

Then she took it another way. Upside down to be exact.

See how cute!




Keep those pictures coming ladies! I have about 4000 e-mails that I need to go through and if I missed one of yours, would you please send it again.

Triple French Braids

Sorry for the slack blogging lately. Life...ya know?

Here is a submitted tip from Hilary. Her daughter has beautiful red hair and this style really shows it off.

Section the hair into three parts, one in the middle and one on each side.

I would temporarily pull all sections into elastics to make it easier to braid.

Braid each section down past the hairline and secure with an elastic.

Braid all three braids together and secure with one more elastic.
