Formal Braided Updo with Pincurls

2013-05-13T16:11:00.000-07:00

I'm so excited about prom season and wedding season being here. Nothing makes me more happy that a beautiful updo. This is one we did a few weeks back and posted on our Instagram account. A lot of you asked for a tutorial, so of course we put one together for you. The video was a bit long, so I tried speeding up parts of it. I'm not sure how I totally feel about it being in fast-forward, but

Visor Hat Hair Idea's

2013-05-03T10:19:00.001-07:00

Remember that SUPER cute flower/ladybug hair clip we did a tutorial on the other day? (link to that tutorial.) Well this was why we had to make sure you had that tutorial. A few weeks back I was asked about some cute hairstyles for a little girl who wears a visor almost all baseball season. (I LOVE BASEBALL SEASON BTW.) And I thought it was such a fun idea! we decided to come up with a whole

Super Cute Ladybug Flower

2013-04-30T16:12:00.001-07:00

I have a very fun tutorial coming at the end of the week (Fingers crossed I figure out this computer) but we made this super cute flower for the tutorial, so I thought I would share the tutorial for this flower first. One more thing I want you to watch for is something super fun coming in the next few weeks including bows... no I am not opening up a flower shop. Just wait for it. I think you will

Flash Back Friday

2013-04-26T08:53:00.001-07:00

My poor computer is having problems. I've used my trusty laptop for years posting her on Girly Do's, but recently it has started to act up, so my husband and I went and bought a new computer. I haven't been able to transition to the new computer. I am just so used to and comfortable with my laptop! But this last week I think my trusty side kick hit the wall! I'm so sad, but since I haven't

Long Knot Hairstyle

2013-04-18T10:10:00.004-07:00

One thing I am working on is getting video's out for some of our styles that we've been told confuses or is difficult for people to recreate. So today's post is to help those of you that have been trying to recreate our simple row of knots. This was done way back when we first started Girly Do Hairstyles. Its a great one when you are in a hurry because its fast. So check out our video and

Drag Braid

2013-04-10T08:00:00.000-07:00

We've been seeing this one more and more out in "the real world" and we thought it was time to do a tutorial on this one. Honestly I wish my hair was just a little longer because I think I would wear this one at least four days a week. I love this one. I don't even know why, but there is just something special about this style. As you know braids are everything right now. You see braids

Double Twist To a Low Ponytail

2013-04-02T08:31:00.001-07:00

A few months back I did a fun hair style on a mannequin at my salon and I shared it on my facebook page. I didn't have a tutorial for it at the time. This is how I did the top part of the style. The back of that mannequin was done using this tutorial. I did today's tutorial the way I did so you can see another option with this technique. For those of you that can't waterfall braid because

Feautured on...

2013-03-25T16:21:00.000-07:00

Last weekend was a great one for us. At least as far as GDH goes. One things I love more about what Beans and I do is when we are lucky enough to be invited to post on other peoples sites. Especially when its a site we love to follow! Saturday we had a hairstyle tutorial featured over at Skip To My Lou. If you've never been over to Skip To My Lou you need to go check out Cindy and all her

Upside Down Braid {Beans Teaches}

2013-03-21T08:00:00.000-07:00

Its been too long since we did a Beans teaches tutorial. We did this one especially for those of you that want to do the upside down braid but can't figure out the best way to have your little one lay upside down while you work. Beans has got your covered!!! She will show your little ones how its done in this video. (And hopefully that helps.) She seriously makes me laugh. The older she

The Truth About HEAT and Your HAIR

2013-03-20T14:55:00.001-07:00

A few weeks back I posted a YouTube video on my Facebook page along with a lot of other people out there. This video has literally gone viral. Some may laugh at it and find it comical others feel for this little girl. I fit into the later of the two extremes. But that isn't what prompted this post. I read from another hair blogger that said something about the heat and that she should have

St. Patrick Day GREEN POST

2013-03-14T10:08:00.000-07:00

The best part about St. Patrick Day is GREEN!!!And what better way to have a little extra green in your life than with making your own green hair accessories. Yesterday I made seven different hair accessories for Beans to choose from for St Patrick Day. Maybe that was a bit excessive! It actually started out as one, but we ended up with seven. No big deal though--- it just means you guys have

My Pretty Little Flower

2013-03-14T09:46:00.001-07:00

I was emailed a few weeks back that the original link I had linked to do these flowers I've done a handful of times has gone private. And that you guys can no longer see the tutorial. I'm sorry about that! It started me on this fun bow-making adventure though! I've been making flowers like crazy over the last couple days! Its been so fun!!! But I wanted you to have the tutorial for this one.

Darling Dahlia

2013-03-14T09:38:00.001-07:00

The other day... with my knees being up and icing so much... I needed something new to do. And something challenging. So I purchased a new flower pattern from All Things Ribbon. Totally fell in love!! This one was my first attempt and I know a few things I could do better, but I had to share it with you all because it is GREAT for spring. I'm getting so desperate for flowers I'm forcing Beans

Ribbon Covering your Headband

2013-03-14T09:31:00.001-07:00

I don't know if there is anyone who doesn't know how to do this, but I wanted to share my own recipe for hair accessory success. This one is great especially right now because Beans has decided she's DONE with bangs (Boooo). And she is ready to grow them out again. Headbands are a lifesaver when you have a little one growing her hair out. We will be making a bunch of these in every color for

Dear Daisy,

2013-03-14T09:24:00.002-07:00

Ribbon and Bobby-Pins

2013-03-14T09:20:00.001-07:00

I used to do this one all the time around holidays. Its been a long time since we did this and I figured WHY NOT!!! You can honestly attach so many things to bobby-pins. You can attach ribbon, charms, pearls, little flowers... there are so many options. Have fun with this idea and get some cute things put on your bobby pins. On this tutorial I think I did my ribbon just a little longer than I

St. Patrick Day {Copy Cat}

2013-03-14T09:09:00.001-07:00

You might remember a few months back when we had Jen from All Things Ribbon guest posting for us. Well trying to recreate her flower has been on my "to-do" list since that time. Now that I have been down for a bit with this knee surgery I decided now was as good of a time as any. So I went back to the original tutorial post and followed the step-by-step and came up with this super cute fun

Adding Ribbon to Your Ponytail

2013-03-14T09:02:00.002-07:00

One of my favorite holidays to make hair accessories for is ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!! Because you need GREEN anyways and what better way to do it than with fun hair pretties. This is one of the easiest ways we know to make a fun SIMPLE accessory for your hair. It easy is a beginning level project. But if you still struggle with our instructions in any way please don't hesitate to let me know and I

Braided Updo

2013-03-06T10:16:00.000-08:00

I am feeling SO GUILTY about not having this one done sooner. I got a few emails from people wanting to use this one and I hope I didn't totally miss the mark on this one. I know one thing for sure... I have it done just in time for PROM!!! So hopefully we can see this one used a lot this Spring for Prom and Easter! So (for those who want to know) my surgery went... well. They got in there

Bow Braiding

2013-02-18T07:00:00.000-08:00

I know others have done a tutorial on this before. However, I have a tiny twist to my tutorial that I think can help a lot of people that are struggling with this style. So I decided to make my own tutorial. This really is a super cute hair style. I hope those that haven't been able to make this one work for them before can use it with the modification we have made. I also took some pictures

Happy Valentines Day Hairstyle

2013-02-12T09:48:00.000-08:00

With Valentines Day is just a few days I knew I had to get this cute heart style up and posted for you all. This is sooooo cute! My only wish is that I wasn't recovering from surgery, because I think this would look amazing modified just a bit with using the ribbon braid to emphasis the heart shape. I really think I will have to try that after surgery. It will be past Valentines Day, but its a

100 Days of School Hairstyles

2013-02-11T07:00:00.000-08:00

Today is officially the 100th day of our hair experiment. Yeah, we did it!!! For day 100 I wanted to do something exciting, but I am heading into surgery and the thoughts of her having a style not easy to get out or anything wasn't ideal. So I left it up to her and she just wanted simple braids. So that is exactly what we did. Simple French Braids. I hope that you got a few things from our

Days 95-99

2013-02-08T10:02:00.002-08:00

If it wasn't for that snow day a few weeks back today would be the 100th day of school for us. But instead the 100th day will be falling on my day of surgery. OF COURSE!!! LOL I have a plan though, so don't fret. I will still be able to do something fun for that 100th day. We've been working to hard on this to not do something fun. Day 95- You know how often we do this one. When we started
