Half Knot Bun

It doesn't get much easier than this. Make sure the hair is wet and then pull it all back into a ponytail. Once it's all in the elastic, wrap the hair around itself as if you're making a knot. (Just like you would tie a knot in the bottom of your thread before you begin sewing.) Bobby pin the ends of the hair to the head and you're finished. If your princess's hair is not long enough for a full ponytail knot, try using only half the hair.

The Backside

My daughter thinks it's hilarious that we're calling this "The Backside" because that usually means something else at our house. All the design to this hairstyle will be on the backside so we decided the name was fitting. :) Start by sectioning out a portion of hair at the bottom of the head. Tie all the rest of the hair out of the way. Now divide that section into two equal parts and tie each part off with an elastic. Make another part parallel to the original part but about 2 inches above it. Now separate that section into three equal parts and tie them off with elastics. Go back down to the two bottom elastics and separate the small ponytails into two pieces. Take one piece each to the outside elastics on the upper section and add those in with another elastic. (Do not add any hair into the upper-middle elastic.)

Take the rest of the hair on top of the head and part it down the middle. Pull each side into a ponytail, making sure to include the elastic from the same side below. Also, separate the middle elastic into two sections and pull those to each side. You should now have two large piggies on each side. You can finish them off however you like but we've done Messy Buns here. Add some fun hair accessories and you're finished.

Celebrity style: boho chic

Stilul boho-chic este in mod evident pe placul celebritatilor. Mai ales vara, cand, de pe strazile insoritei California, paparazzi ne aduc poze cu cele care ne devin surse de inspiratie.
Reprezentantele importante ale acestui stil sunt Kate Moss, Vanessa Hudgens, Rachel Zoe sau Mary Kate Olsen, ca sa dau doar cateva nume.
Favorita mea este Nicole Richie.
Nicole are o linie de accesorii, House of Harlow 1960, si una de haine, Winter Kate, ambele fiind reprezentative pentru stilul boho-chic.
Elementele de baza pe care trebuie sa le ai in garderoba daca vrei sa fii o bohemian queen sunt rochiile vaporoase cu imprimeuri florale sau paisley, tunicile easy breezy din matase, in sau bumbac, jachetele de inspiratie orientala, caftanele, jeansii evazati sau pantalonii scurti din denim, vestele de blana, biuteriile voluminoase, gentile cu franjuri sau in tonuri de pamant, bentitele, sandalele romane, platformele si esarfele oversized.
Bijuterii House of Harlow 1960. Am cateva piese din colectia lui Nicole, inclusiv colierul superb de mai jos, pe care v-o recomand daca doriti niste piese eye-catching. Revolveclothing livreaza gratuit la comenzi de peste 100$.

Basket Case

My princess had lots of left over waves from her braids yesterday so we decided to make use of them today. We pulled her hair half-up because there weren't as many waves at the top of her hair. Before I pulled the hair back, I parted it down the middle and held out a 1/2 in section of hair along both sides of the part. Wet the hair down really well on top and then pull in back into the Half-Up Ponytail. Here's the tricky part: Grab a plastic yarn needle for the threading. (They're usually light blue and can be bought at Wal-Mart in the yarn section.) Take a piece of dental floss and fold it in half. Thread the folded section through the eye of the needle and this will help thread the hair through the needle. Take one of the 1/2 inch sections you held out and grab a small piece of it close to the hairline on the forehead. Now feel that small section through the dental floss and then pull the dental floss out of the eye of the needle. This will automatically thread the hair through the eye of the needle for you. (Much easier than trying to thread the hair through the needle without the floss!) Now take the needle in an in and out pattern down through the hair that has been pulled back. Let the hair out of the needle and thread the next little bit of hair back into it. Use the in and out weaving pattern again but make sure that you are opposite of what you did on the previous weaving. Continue this process until you run out of hair in the 1/2 inch section and then go to the second 1/2 inch section and do the same pattern. When you are done it will look as though you've weaved a basket. It has a really cool look to it and would also be a very fun Easter hair do because it would look like an Easter Basket!

I wish it was a "U" Instead of a "Y"

I am a die hard University of Utah fan and not so much a BYU fan so I'm a little sad that this is a "Y" instead of a "U". :) Begin by parting the hair into two halves and making a piggie on each side. Now Make a Fish Bone braid out of each side, making sure to only braid it half-way down the hair. Now bring the two Fish Bone Braids together into a group. Combine both sides into one Fish Bone in the middle. Braid to the bottom of the hair and secure with an elastic. This will give the "Y" look in hair, plus the Fish Bone's just look really cool. :)

3 Corkscrews Into Hawsers

There can be many different variations on this hairstyle. You just have to decide if you want braids, twists or straight hair. Start by parting the hair down the middle and separating the two sections. Now grab two small sections of hair, from the forehead line, on the left half of the part and one section from the right side of the part. Make each section into a Corkscrew and pull them diagonally to the right. Combine all the hair on the right side (including the 3 Corkscrews) into a piggie. Combine the hair in the left section into a piggie as well. Now, in keeping with the Corkscrew theme, we made each piggie into two Corkscrews and twisted them together to make Hawser Braids.

Side Swiped

This is a VERY easy hairstyle but it has a different look than a lot of the others. You're going to have the best luck if you wet the hair down completely first. Gather a section of hair from the front of the head and pull it into a small ponytail off to the right side of the head. Now brush the rest of the hair completely straight down. Grab two small sections from each side of the head, right at the hair line. Pull it together and combine it with an elastic directly over the first ponytail hair. (Make sure you don't combine the original ponytail with the new ponytail. Now the same thing again with sections of hair just below the previous ones. Again, combine them into a ponytail, making sure not to add in any hair from the previous ponies. Do this process one last time at the base of the head and then grab all of the hair together for a side braid. I've added some brown velvet flowers glued to hair pins over each of the elastics to make it a bit more elegant for church but it's totally optional.
