cute braids

This one turned out better then I expected, Joely is the best for letting me experiment. A lot of times she comes up with ideas for me to try!

twists and braids

Today we did some twists and braids!

We started with two small piggies in the front of her hair.

We then added twists, if you dont know how to make twists with out having them unravel, here is the secret.

1. Divide the hair into two sections.
2.twist the sections in the same direction, for example take the section of hair and twist it to the LEFT. take the other section of hair and also twist it to the LEFT.
3. take both twisted sections of hair and twist them together going in the opposite direction. So take the two sections of hair that have been twisted to the LEFT and combine them together twisting the two sections to the RIGHT.

For some reason the opposite twists of the hair keep the twists from falling out, so you can easily do a twist instead of a braid.

I then had Joely hold the twisted hair while I prapared two piggie tails in the back with the remaining hair.

Before I added the elastic on the large piggie tail, I added the twisted hair from the mini piggie on the opposit side.

After doing this to both sides, I completed the piggies with braids. I liked the idea of combining the twists and braids instead of ending with twists. However, if you wanted to end with twists, I think it would look cute if you added three twists from each piggie tail!

mini cross over

Today we did an easy hairstyle, that I think just turned out super cute! I always like to add a little something extra instead of just doing a pony tail..so here is what we did today.

We made two little piggies in the front of her hair, and added elastics.

We then made two more little piggies directly behind the original two, before adding the next elastics though I added the hair from the opposit side- this way there was a little criss cross.

Finally I pulled up the remaining hair into a messy bun and added the cute little streamer bow we made last night!

Braided Climbers

I was so excited to come back home and do Joelys hair again, being in SLC with only boys doesn't allow for much creativity!

Today we did climbers.
Start with two little piggies at the base of the neck, attach elastics and braid.
Next add two more piggies above the first two, criss cross the braids to add to the piggies on the opposit side. Attach elastics, then brad again.
Then gather the remaining hair and bring to a pony tail at the crown of the head, add braids to the pony tail and add an elastic.
We then took a section of the hair from the ponytail, braided and wrapped it around the ponytail holder,securing it with bobypins to make a bun.
The remaining hair we braided at looped downwards securing it also with bobbypins, and we were done!

Symphony 'up do'

These pictures were taken while waiting to go and see the symphony today! Mrs. Pays class had a fiedtrip today, so everyone had to dress in there Sunday best. We did this hair do loosly based on how we saw Emma hair last night at the ward Halloween party...Thanks for the idea Emma!
We started with two small puggies at the front of her hair, added elastics then braided.
Joelys held the braids while I prepared two more small piggies.
We crossed the braids to the opposit piggie and added another elastic.
We did this all one more time.
Then we ended by doing our final braids and brining them to the opposit side to a messy bun with the remaining hair for that side.
Add two cute and rather large hot pink flowers a we were done!
