The look of a yummy pretzel, without the salt. Just divide the hair into four sections, braid, cross over the two top braids to the opposite bottom braids then loop up the bottoms to the top and slip ends under the existing rubber bands. Easy peasy and sure to pleasy in under five minutes!

New bows to snaze up the look
And the result is a happy five year old.

What to do the day after braids
You have all been there. You have put your daughter in braids the day before, let her sleep in them and woke up to find hair that looks like the nest of a huge bald eagle. Don't even try to comb through it. Get out your handy dandy goody brush, comb it back into a fuzzy wad of hair and assemble it like a bun. Put your cute bow under the fuzzy wad and add the cute clips and BINGO, you have pimped hair in less than two minutes. (The thing that takes the longest is trying to open these little clips without shooting them across the room!
Giraffe Head
Straight out of the pool and into three ponies...good hot weather hair and matches the giraffe shirt if I do say so myself.

Results of the Curlformers on Sarah
OK...here are the pics. They curlformers worked so much better when you sleep on them and don't try to dry them. Sarah never needed heat added to her hair and they are BOUNCY AND GORGEOUS! Note, I used the extra long and wide without any problem...one size fits all girls! It's about time.
This first picture is EXACTLY right after I pulled the pasta tubes out of her hair. I didn't touch it. You can see it is seperated at the crown. I didn't have a pic so I just used the end of my rattail comb and picked the curls through to lightly seperate them. The results are below. My rating A++++++ I love these things and may make a video if I get requests.

Sarah's Curlformer Experience...
She is bathed and all curlformed up. To be continued in the morning! (she better not wake up because of these suckers because I love my Friday night sleep!)
Notice that even though Sarah's hair should have been been in medium length Curlformers, we were able to easily use the Extra long ones. I really recommend these. They are not heavy and so your child won't complain. This way you know the Curlformers will fit everyone without ends sticking out. If you click on one of her pictures, it will get larger and you can actually see the hair in the curlformers. It doesn't matter if the hair doesn't reach the bottom. Just consider them "decorations" Sarah feels like a Queen Bee in them.
Also, make sure you alternate the colors. Each color curls a different way and this prevents the curls from sticking together. Plus they look cuter, snicker.
Told ya they were comfy.
THE AA HAIR
This idea came straight from "The story of a princess and her hair". It is from her African American Hairstyles. She step by stepped it quite nicely and it was super easy to do (less than 10 minutes on a sopping wet head). I loved the result.
