3 braids and a Pony

Part the hair on one side and from ear to ear. Then braid into 3 french braids.side viewstake all the hair BUT the braids and put into a pont tail then wrap the ends of all 3 braids around the elastic secure with a small bobby pin. We needed to use a little hair clip along with the bobby pin this time Add some adorable hair bing and you are done!

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!

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?!?!
