Hair with Ribbon

This do was inspired by Chic Clips
I had to change it up a bit because Little Bean's hair is not really long enough for loops. I started by parting the hair from just about the ear to just about the ear. The I did 3 parts on top and what else? French braided them :)

Then with the 3 braids I did 2 braids, giving me 6. Then I pulled the 2 from the right over to the left and the left to the right. I secured them with elastics and some of the left over hair on the bottom. Then I pulled the middle straight down and put it all together with a blue ribbon-yup it is blue day, and Little Bean does not own blue!- I am lucky enough to be working with a little bit of natural curl so I just put a little hairspray on the ends to keep the frizz away.

There you have it.

This is just a variation of what I have all ready shown. First section the hair as close to the front hairline as you can. I did 5 little sections across. Then I placed the ribbon behind the small sections and secured the ribbon right at the ears with tiny little clips.

After spiting the hair to make the zig-zag over the ribbon I took half of the end section and braided it into a on the side french braid. I did this to both sides and then made a twisted bun and finished it off using the same ribbon around the bun.

Lesson Learned: do something other than a french braid!

Little Man's Scrapbook Page

Here is what we like to do while big sis is in school. Little Man is having a bit of a hard time letting Little Bean be gone, so we are going to have to fill the few hours she is gone with fun things to do.

This is Little Man's first scrapbook page, meaning this is the first one he got to choose everything that went on it and where to put it. He did a great job!

I think he was most excited about using a glue stick and scissors :)

Yellow Day - Braids

Today is YELLOW day in kindergarten! So this is the bow I put together (I am new to hair-other than pigtails and ponies- and hair accessories, so I know they are a bit armature-ish but we are excited about them)

I think you can pretty much see what we did here...

And here it is put together...

What I learned? I need to work on my parts!

Yesterday's Hair- A Little Asian

First I just have to say THANKS to all the fun hair blogs out there. I can not believe how many fun ideas you have!

This is what we ended up with yesterday. I am usually starting out with NO ideas until I get going. Little Bean is a good sport to let me just experiment ;)

"Red Day in Kindergarten"

I threw together a couple of little bows to match her Red Day Clothes and did a 6 french braid bun thing.

I parted the her just above the ear to the other ear. Then had her lay her head in a chair and french braided from the bottom up... it is hard to see in the picture, but if you look it is there.

Then I sectioned (not well) down the middle and then spilt that in half giving me 4 sections. On the outside I did a French braid and the inside I did a reverse french braid (can anyone tell me the name of that?)

You can see the last part best in the above picture. I just gathered the 3 braids from one side and put in in a bun with the ends spiked out (she was wearing a cute Chinese dress and I thought it all came together nicely).

I will get better with the pictures but you get the idea?!?!
