time for another FANCY NANCY party

We've had fun going to all the Fancy Nancy birthday parties - but I've had more fun thinking of a fancy do to go along with it.
I know. I know. She's naked but I tried to crop it & it won't upload what I cropped - even though it shows it's cropped in my folder. I tried not to get too much of her. We didn't want to get her dress on yet - so here's a bad mom moment.

I parted the hair on the side. Then I parted 3 slanted parts going from the side part to the ear & twist. I added an elastic to hold the twist (because once I got away from the base of the head - I turned it into a corkscrew twist) & then bobby pinned it in place while finishing my twists. Do 3 twists on each side.

Bring all the hair into a pony tail. I kind of pulled one twist from each side at a time so that I could make sure the twist was still twisted tight & good.

Now that we have our pony, I did a corkscrew twist just all over randomly in the pony.

Now, curl all the straight pieces that aren't in the twists.

Pin all the curls & all the twists to give a fun updo.

We added our must have spray glitter because she feels like she has to wear it anytime we do a fancy do or are going to a party. It does add a lot though.

We finished it off with a cute little tiara.

Simple side roll.

Sometimes with my littlest it is difficult to get a good picture so here is the best we have of her side roll. All you do is take a small amount of hair along the front of her face and roll it while adding hair as you roll further back. Secure with an elastic.

Puffy Rolls

This is similar to a puffy braid. Start at the top and put in elastic. With the next section of hair pull it up the this is where it gets different. Twist the hair in the elastic around itself to make a twist in between your elastics. It gives it a fun different look.
