Happy 2011!

It's so nice to be back home and getting back into our regular routine.  I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year!  We mostly used old hairstyles while we were on our trip but this is one that was new for us.

Start by creating 5 small Pull-Through sections around the front of the hairline. 

Now create 4 more Pull-Through sections behind the original 5.  (Make sure they are staggered and the parts aren't directly behind the first ones.)

Create a Corkscrew out of each Pull-Through.  Divide the front middle Pull-Through into two Corkscrews.  Now create 3-inch part down the middle of the hair, directly behind the sections your created.  Section out some hair from the middle part down the the left ear and pull that hair, along with the Corkscrews from that side of the head into an elastic.  Do the same for the right side as well. 

 Now straighten out the rest of the hair and curl the ends under.  We added some twisty jewels to the front Pull-Throughs and some Christmas Tree clips to the back elastics to finish it off.

Happy Holidays!

We wanted to wish you all the happiest of holidays since this will be our last post before the new year.  We will be heading out to Utah first thing in the morning to spend time with the family for Christmas.  I'll be back and ready to post lots of hairstyles just after the first of the new year.  Until then, here are some of our fun little Christmas clips that you are welcome to copy if you like.  Happy Holidays everyone!

We have Rudolph, a couple Christmas Trees, Mr. & Mrs. Gingerbread, a Poinsettia and (super easy) a Present Bow. 

This is our "snow collection" with a couple snowflakes and some fun little snowmen.

Celebrity style: rochii din dantela

Daca esti in cautarea unei rochii de party, o rochita din dantela este o investitie buna. Este in tendintele momentului si va ramane si in sezonul urmator (vezi Dolce & Gabbana primavara/vara 2011).
Este si preferata celebritatilor pentru evenimentele la care participa.

The Rose Bowl

This hairstyle is a variation of the Angel Halo that we did a while back.

Start by dividing the hair in the front a little off-centered.  Start with the larger side and grab a section of hair from the top and divide it into two pieces. 

Now you're going to create a French Twist by pulling the outside piece over the top of the inside piece.  Now gather a bit of hair to add into each piece and repeat the motion.  Always make sure the outside goes over the top of the inside.  Continue your French Twist down to the nape of the neck and then hold it in place with a claw clip. 

 Move to the opposite side and begin by gathering two pieces and pulling the outside over the inside piece.  Just continue that motion, adding hair in each time until you get down to the nape of the neck. 

 Combine the two French Twists with an elastic.  This is where you can finish it off however you like.  We've done a 5-Strand Braid here because it's my princess's favorite but it also looks beautiful with wavy curls or ringlets. 

Now we've dressed it up a bit with some rosettes that we just found in the craft section at Walmart and glued to some hair pins.  You can place them wherever you like and they add a pretty little touch.

Glitter Glam

My princess has an annual Winterfest dance performance and it's usually a fun time for the girls to wear their costumes and get fancy.

 My daughter loves having glitter in her hair so we planned on it with this hairstyle.

We started with a small Pull-Through at the front which we do quite often because it's quick and easy and it adds a little more flair. 

Next we pulled up half of the hair, from ear to ear, into a ponytail.  Slide a bun mold over your ponytail.  (I just noticed that Walmart is now carrying bun molds in their hair supply isle.) 

 Spread the ponytail evenly over the bun mold and then secure it with an elastic around the mold.  Comb the excess hair from the bun down to the back with the remaining hair. 

 Go ahead and curl all of the hair that is still down.  We've curled hers with a 1-inch flat iron because it creates nice loose curls. 

 Our final step was to spray in some glitter.  You can find spray glitter in the can in the craft section at most stores.  (This picture doesn't do it justice but it looks so pretty in the hair!)
