Hair

My oldest just started Kindergarten and for her first day I wanted to do something extra special with her hair. After asking around and doing some good ol' google searching I found some really fun and inspired blogs (see my sidebar) that really got me excited about hair. So for the last week or so I have made bows and flower clips looked at tons of ideas and here is a weeks worth of super fun, really easy hair ideas. I know there is only about 4 ways (that I can come up with) for my little man's hair, but I thought I would throw those in here too! I am not going to include in-depth tutorials for these pictures (most of the are self-explanatory) but I will in future posts; there are just too many this time. If there is one that you really want to know about leave a comment and I will be happy to explain it!
(Sorry, I loaded the pictures backwards, so they are a little out of order)
After looking at all the pictures I think I need to work on more hair accessories... Anyway...
For this one I did a side part and did a reversed french braid (I don't know the official name) then took the end and added them to a pony tail and put all that into a messy bun. It took a little longer than the rest of them, but I think it was because I really had no idea what to do for this day, and just started, this is what I ended up with.
We call this dinosaur hair. It is just spiked up all over, a cute look on my handsome little guy! Really basic here, a zig-zag part and pig tails. I thin the over sized flowers finish it off!


This is not what I was going for, but I loved it more than my first thought. It is french braid across the back of her head, then in a bun. It would have been cute to leave it as a side pony tail, but I ran out of time to curl the ends.


Meet my "Little Man"
He is so lucky to be the only boy with 3 sisters, dontcha think ;)

front spikes with flat top
Matching Ribbons

This was really fast and looked great



From the top... I had seen this on a couple of blogs, but thought since she has some curl it would be cute to pile it up in the back


baby side pony with matching ribbon.


Meet "Cutie Cookie"
I love this spunky look on her
Three sectioned ponies with baby flower clips.

My hubby calls it her little weed... I think it fits! She has got some natural curl so I just put a little hair spray in it.

Meet "Baby Cheeto"
I am working with some very fine, wispy hair with this one!



It is 5 sectioned from the front and come together in the back with a fold ponytail.



From the side

Twisted pull-through, half up

Before we added the flower, really this is a WAY easy one. Done in 5 minutes!

Wow. That's awesome. That's something I cannot do but I'm working on it. I can KIND OF french braid Sloane's hair but it's not that great. I need some lessons from you. These do's are super cute!
