Curling With A Flat Iron

This is the one and ONLY way I do ringlets. My girls have EXTREMELY straight, thick, heavy hair so it never stays in when I curl with a normal curling iron. I'm not exactly sure why- maybe because a flat iron is hotter (usually 300 degrees is good) than a curling iron- but they seriously stay in all day with no hairspray. -And even better, it's way faster !!

P.S. I made a messy bun video also, but it's too many megabytes so as soon as I figure it all out, I'll get it on here :)

just front criss cross

I never know what to call a hair style so please don't laugh when I make up silly names!! Ha Ha Any ways this is cute and easy for when your daughter doesn't want all of her hair pulled up. Just make a small piggy in the front, then one on each side. Take half of the ends of the two sides and make another piggy behind the front middle one. Then split the end of the middle into two, and make two more piggies, one on each side. Again, if your daughter has baby hairs in the front that seem impossible to control, this will hold them back pretty well.

pull through into messy piggies

So simple but adds a little more to pig tails. So just center two pull throughs then split the second one into two messy piggies. I personally like it better with just one pull through, but I thought we would see what it looked like with two. Mal has loads of short baby hairs in the front so this helps to keep them back!! Enjoy!

Another Bun Variation

This one start with an upside down pull through so all the hair is up top. Twist it all the same direction and wrap around the base and secure with bobby pins. This stays really well if the hair is really wet to begin with-!

Square French Braid to Piggies

I'll admit I've been very lazy with hair these last few weeks. We've had swimming lessons, trips, etc. But this is simple and fast. Part a square on the top and while holding the rest of the hair back, french braid at a diagnol and finish the braid to the bottom. Part the rest into piggies and add the braid to that side, then take out the elastic from the braid.
