Highlight

A medium-length style with highlights.

Remember THIS -- well that is one of our favorite hairdos to do in our home but sometimes we like to change it up a bit - so here's a little modification to the zig-zag braids:
Start by parting the hair right down the middle. Add 2 small piggies at the top of the hair & braid only one side & take it over to the other & add elastic.

Mimmick what you did up top on the bottom section:

No make your piggies & don't add any of the braids just yet

Braid the bottom piece & cross over to the opposite piggie & add elastic

Do the same thing with the top piggies & cross over to add to the opposite pigtail.

Now you have 2 pigtails that you can curl, leave straight, braid or do messy buns. So many fun options - you decide!!

(sorry we did have a front view - but she was trying to be a model in every picture & it just wasn't happening - next time:) & sorry to those who I haven't responded to their emails - I'll get there - I'm just getting a bazillion a day - so I'm getting there. My apologies!!

Mod Curly Style

This is a youthful hairdo that is partly straight and partly curly. But it's ALL cute!

Short Updo? Yes!

Many women with short hair assume they can't pull off an updo. But with some imagination (and hair gel) almost anything is possible.

Chic Updo with Comb

This is a simple, elegant style with a side updo and comb hair jewelery.

This was so fun to do. I have major spring fever & the weather was so nice last week that we had to pull out our skirts & capris & have a fun new do with all our new spring clothes. Please come back beautiful weather.
Start by splitting the hair in half like you are going to do pigtails. Put one half of the hair in an elastic to keep out of the way. You are now working with half of the hair. Right in the middle, divide a section that looks like a circle with hair surrounding the outside of it. Sounds confusing - look at the picture below:

Now the hair that is left out of that pony tail, begin inside-out french braiding at the top of the part.

You want to circle around the pony tail that you made making sure not to include any of the pony (again only the hair on around the pony)

Once you get to the end, now connect the braid with pony tail.

Do the exact same thing to the other side.

I finished with some messy buns. I originally had the ponies down & curled but I wanted you to be able to see the entire braid. Maybe if her hair were a little shorter I could have kept them down. It looks harder than it really is.
