The writer drafts, edits, composes a final draft, and then humbly lays their offer before the public throne. Well, I thought I'd share a do that's NOT like that at all. You see, everything really is 20/20 in hindsight. And sometimes we end up nowhere near where we thought we would. :)So I think I'm

Today we're demonstrating a couple ways to make candy canes in hair. The first way is just one big candy cane across the whole head. For those of you who know what you're doing, this is basically just one long puffy braid twisted in the shape of a candy cane. You can do it with a french braid or a french corkscrew or even by twisting the hair. I just added a different accessory to it and

Good Monday afternoon! I hope you all had a fun or restful weekend. I've been playing around with the layered corkscrew from our Halloween hair and thought I'd share something that worked. This is sorta a cross between the layered corkscrew and the traditional net. The main difference is that there is no elastic in this hair except for in the back pony. Each corkscrew gets divided up when it nets

This one is probably easy enough that you don't need an explanation. But real quick:I started out not sure of what I was going to do (as I often do). I divided the front part of the hair into three sections.Then I just separated out a square section on each side at the front. Pull the rest back into a tight, tangle-free half (or whole) pony.I made two ponies with elastic out of the squared-off

I wanted to do something elegant, but not with tons of elastic showing. So we did these upside down french braids all around her head that came to a central spot at the top of her head. It's a simple concept, actually. Here's one way to do it:First, wet, wet, wet hair and make sure it's free of tangles. Next, divide the hair into 6 even sections. I did two in front, two in the middle, and two in

I'm kinda late posting today--even considered not posting this experiment. But, alas, here we are. Today we're just testing out lacing with different types of new ribbons. We ended up with 6 laced "puffy braids" (3 on each side) and braided them on down the back of the head. It was pretty simple, but still a good learning experience. I think we'll use smaller ribbon for the lacing next time.

This "snake" do is in the shape of the old 80's banana clips. I have seen others doing a snake updo out of one pony tail (for example, check Babes in Hairland's HERE and Jenn of Girly Do's HERE), but I was concerned that, due to the thickness of my daughter's hair, one bun would end up WAY too big and eventually fall down.
