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.

Neat and Tidy Heat Wave Hair

Sarah looks thin in her mug shot. When she gets home from school, I'm going to stuff her.

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.

LOOKING GREAT WHILE YOU AREN'T ACTING GREAT..

New Korky bows are darling. Sarah is posing and pretending she can really play the piano. Notice her hair is sopping wet. I always braid sopping wet hair. Does anyone else do this? It really does dry nicely.


Who says you can't look like a hot zebra while you pout and bawl at a eatery?

SPRING OUTFITS!

Grandma sent the dress. Mom designed the bows to match. Pimpin' spring chic ! Don't ask me why Sarah looks like a meanie when she poses....I try but I'm not a photographer. Work it girl, work it..

NEW BOWS MADE....cute stuff if I say so myself..

PROM HAIR IDEAS

Wish I would have taken a frontal pick. I just teased the hair mighty high for a *Poof* look. Combed it smooth, pinned fringe to sides, twisted the back into a half French twist and secured with bobbies. Added the sparkly headband and bango...pimped up prom hair in less than 10 minutes. If I could do it differently, I would twist the bangs on the side to hide the bobby pins better. In all, this looked so beautiful on her. We went to Target and got tons of complements. Too bad we didn't do something fancy!

PIMPIN' GWEN STEFANI HAIR !

All Rockin' girls love Gwen Stefani Hair. You can have this too. Let me know if you would like to see a video of achieving this hairstyle. Love it! I made my curl go forward for more of a "retro" look. It shows off the curl more.

New bows...cute ponies, and....flying monkies?

TRUE...I see the hair isn't at it's best but hey....who can compete when your kid is eating lucky charms..? They are magically delicious you know. Besides, I never proclaimed to be a professional. I was doing hair, making breakfast, feeding the dog, and making cookies at the same time.

Nutin' Fancy

Nothing particularly fancy, Sarah just wanted to show off her bows we just made. Boy was she a "fighter' this morning! Has anyone ever thought braids were going to be impossible? Now I have "mother guilt" for scolding her before school. Sheesh....

BOHEMIAN HAIR

Bohemian hair is HOT, HOT, HOT right now. Below is two examples. The first one was achieved by straightening the hair and making a headband out of your own hair. The second pics are done by waving the hair (we used the Conair Infinity deep wave curler) Then we added a "hippie" hairband. LOVE IT! Totally pimped up Britt's hair.

THE DOGGIE BOWS

Aren't these bows the greatest? New bows are fun.

Sarah wants to be sure you have a shot at her pretty nails in the pic.

EASY BREEZY HIKING HAIR

Today, Sarah is going on a field trip to the Ostrich Farm. She will feed them along with the deer and some Lorakeets. Then, they are having a picnic and hiking to see the wildflower gardens and butterflies. Fun day!

Take a good look at Sarah's face on this picture. She never wants to smile so I yelled, "Daddy wears DIAPERS"....it worked.


I noticed the hair really doesn't look that great in these pics but has deep waves in it and is gorgeous. Brittany and I scored a deep wave ceramic curling iron for 13 bucks yesterday! HOLY MOLIE! We bought two of course. Brittany and Sarah love their new Bohemian hairstyles.
