Friday's Film: Holiday Hairstyle: Christmas Tree

This is a fun Christmas Tree hairstyle that is easy to complete.

These are the supplies you will need along with some bobby pins and elastics.  These are mini ornaments for small trees but you could also just place some small clips around your finished tree.  Also, make sure you have a "tree topper".  I've just used a wrapping bow glued to an alligator clip here.  You will also want to have your Topsy Tail handy.

You can see why I suggested that you have your Topsy Tail handy!  :)

Here is the finished product.

Make sure when you puff up your braid that you bobby pin it at the top.  The tree topper will hide the pins in the end.

You can see from the side how I tucked it up under.

Here's a view from the other side.

It also looks cute just hanging as a braid with fun little ornaments inserted.

My princess likes this hairstyle best so far but I think it's because of the ornament bling!  :)

Holiday Hairstyles: Winter Wonderland

*I apologize in advance for the darker pictures but we did this hairstyle for a Christmas party in the evening so the sun had already gone down.*  We call this one the "Winter Wonderland" and we don't get any snow where we live so it was fun to create a snowy scene in her hair.  :)

Here are the supplies we used and I know that they're not necessarily supplies that you would have readily available but you can be creative and use what you have!  First we have a jumbo twist form and some white faux hair that we got at Sally's.  (You could use a pair of long rolled socks and ribbon as substitutes.)  There are also some little snowflake jewels that we just glued to hair pins but you could also use regular rhinestones.  Finally we have some snowman hair clips and I made these ones out of ribbons and alligator clips but you could make some simple ones with cotton balls and hair pins if you wanted.

Begin with wet hair and comb it all straight back.  Clip your faux hair underneath the other hair by the nape of the neck.  Now grab your twist form and place it at the ends of the hair.  Roll it upwards into the head until you have it nice and tight.  You will want to make sure that you are spreading your faux hair out a bit as you roll as well so it's not all in one clump.  Once your form is tightly against the head, secure it in place using bobby pins.  This is our hill of snow for our Winter Wonderland.

Now go ahead and place your snowman clips on top of the hill of snow in any way that you like.  (You could also make tree clips and use those as well or in place of.) 

Your final step is to make it look like it's snowing by inserting your hair pins in random places above the snowmen.

Now you've created a Winter Wonderland picture through a hairstyle.  It also looks like one of those over-the-top Christmas sweaters that Grandma used to wear.  :)

Holiday Hairstyles: Bandu Snowman

This is our Bandu Snowman hairstyle and it's made with three Bandu (or Odango) Buns.

Here are some of the supplies that you will need.  The snowman hair clips, yarn, & needle are optional.  I demonstrated how you can use the yarn in the video but I didn't personally like the outcome so our pictures are done without it.  There is a bit of yarn for the scarf, brown pipe cleaners for the arms, & a Santa hat clip.  (You can use anything you have for the hat or just leave it off.)

I'm pretty sure I called the snowman a "scarecrow" in this video and my arm was in the way for a bit of it.  Not my finest filming experience but hopefully you get the idea!  :)

It turned out pretty cute didn't it!

This shows how it looks from the side.

You can see where I divided out the three sections to start with.

It would also be fun to add some cute buttons or some type of carrot nose!

It's a pretty fast hairstyle and it holds tightly throughout the whole day.
