Hair Fun

Ever since I saw Becky's post about this web site, I've been wanting to try some of the cute hair styles out on my kids. Just another way to be creative, right? Here are some examples of all the ones we have tried so far.

This one is currently Miranda's favorite.


It's not very hard and it's quick, so it's a good one right before school. I'm not going to give specific directions because they are all available on GirlyDo's blog and she does much better with tutorials.


Pretty cute! The last few times I have done this one I have taken the two braids and braided them into one. It makes it a lot cleaner looking and easier to wrap around the pony tail. This picture was my first attempt.

Miranda also likes to have this look but with a "messy bun" instead of the pony. I'll show you an example of the bun down below...

This is Maddy with "rag curls" in her hair. Notice the tooth she is wiggling? This picture was taken Oct. 5th and that tooth is the one that just fell out a while ago.

I was very happy with the results of the rag curls. I was skeptical as Maddy's hair rarely takes curl at all, but these curls stayed in ALL day! Her hair is usually super straight!

We also did the rag curls in Miranda's hair and they lasted two full days! Her hair has lots of curl though, so this was not a surprise. Still, I like the look of the rag curls and the girls swear they are comfy to sleep with. Bonus!

This 'do' below we have actually done before just without the messy bun in the back. The girls call it soccer ball hair. It's pretty obvious why...

This is one of my favorites to do on the girls. It takes a little longer, but it will stay in and look cute for a few days. I usually have to fix the bun or ponytail in the back, but the elastics keep the front nice and tidy! This would be a great one for camping trips.

That's it so far, but Miranda now loves to get online with me to find a cute hairstyle for the day. I think I better stock up on elastics and bobby pins!

Cute girls I love their hair, I'm always looking for new ideas! I'm so glad we got to have lunch today!

I love those hairstyles! Sometimes my little girlies will sit still long enough for me to experiment. That's the trick. ;)

Karolee said...

Nancy-It was so great to hear from you! I just caught up on your blog as well...your kids are getting so grown up!

Jenny-It was fun to see you too, let's get together lots more! :)

So fun. I have been meaning to blog about this exact topic! I am hair challenged, but ever since my cousin led me to 'hairblogs' we have been going on line to pick out the hair of the day.lol We love messy buns! What is the method with the rag curls?

Karolee said...

Thanks Shayleen!

Ericka, there is a video on that blog that I linked to that shows how to do the rag curls. It's not hard, but takes a little time...try it out! :)

Wow Karolee you have a gift. I don't care how long I looked at hair directions, I don't think I could make Claire's hair look that good! It was great o see your family, your all adorable, yes even you Jake!
