4th of July Fancy Hair

This was done for the 4th of July but can be used for any holiday all you have to do is change the decorations you use.

I started by making a front poof. 

Then I braided her sides up.  Each side gets french braided up to the middle of her head.

Then pull all the hair into a ponytail

Now make a messy bun. 

Then I found a red white and blue paper weight at the dollar store I pulled them apart and the 2 picture below are the items separated.

I pulled this one into individual strands and started to tie them into her hair. 

The picture below has wire in it and was easy to wrap in and out of her hair. 

Below is the back of her hair.

Right before it got dark we took glow in the dark bracelets and wrapped them through her hair as shown below.

4th of July Firework

I apologize I didn't get this up for the 4th of July things have been busy as most of you experience too!

The state we live in celebrates the 24th of July much like the 4th of July which I forget that other states don't celebrate.  

This style was so simple and she turned out to be the most patriotic hair around our town.

All I did was make a poof then put her hair into pigtails (since she doesn't have much hair this was the easiest)

I went to our local dollar store and found a patriotic paper weight that had the strings below 

and stars attached to a metal wire wrapped in red white and blue. 

I folded the long strands of red white and blue over so they weren't so long and secured them with an elastic.

Right before we went out for the night we wrapped bracelet glow sticks in between each pigtail.  Since the bracelets were much heavier than her hair we added a 3 on across the top of her head.

Heart Rolls

This idea was taken from Angela's cute posts on Facebook. 

Start by making a down the center part.  At the back of the part make a roll going back towards the front of her head.  Continue the roll around towards the ear and back to the center of her head. As shown below.  (I hope this makes sense if not please ask questions.) 

 Do a 2nd roll on the other side of her head.  Attach both rolls with an elastic down low and into a V shape.

More Heart Fun

This was a fun and best of all a really easy hear to make.  So if your in a hurry this is the style.

Start by making a V shaped poof in the front of her head.

Then take a really small amount of hair just below the poof and half of your hair in the poof and secure with an elastic as shown below.

Do the same on the other side.  Then take the ends of the hair and pull them down low an centered and secure with an elastic. 

Toddler Valentines

This is not really a Valentines style but this was the hair and outfit my toddler picked out for school today. 

Today is their Valentines Party.  I was shocked when she said we could do pigtails.  She doesn't know that she has 4 elastics in.  She told me I could do 2.

Her hair was  put into small elastics holding up the bottom of her hair up.  Then those were pulled into pigtails. 

We also put in Valentines Bows to top off the style. 

As you can see from the pictures she is all attitude.

Toddler Single Heart

This is the same as the Single Heart 

We topped hers off by making ringlets with a flat iron. 

Double Heart

This is very similar to the Single Heart  and the steps are very much the same.

With the double heart make to small parts instead of one larger part.  Then pull the hair upward between the elastic.  Do the same steps for the 2nd ponytail.

I once again rolled the hair to make it easier to manage. 

Secure the ends of each ponytail with its own elastic.

Then pull the 2 hearts together and secure with an elastic as shown below.

Single Heart

    This is a fun and simple Valentines hairstyle.

Take a small amount of hair and pull it into a ponytail as shown below.

 Next take and make a part in between the elastic and flip it upwards.

 Then take the hair in the ponytail and split it in 2 pieces.  I rolled each piece just so I had better control.

Then secure the bottom of the 2 pieces of hair with an elastic as shown below.



4th of July Girl Style

Once again I apologize for not getting these posted before the holiday.  This one would be cute without the 4th of July accessories.  The ideas for the hair accessories came from my favorite mom site.  The link is http://www.mom-stuff.com/public/301.cfm

The reason I included the picture below is because the part is very important for the braids to lay right. 

The first part is from ear to ear then pull the back hair into a ponytail out of the way.

Then make a diagonal part as shown below.

Start with the part on the right side (looking at the picture above)  The reason for this is the left side is going to overlap the right braid.  French braid from her ear to the center of the part as shown below.

Next french braid the left side all the way up to the center part.  This braid overlaps the first braid.

Below attach the braids together with an elastic.

Then we added the fun 4th of July accessories we made.  http://www.mom-stuff.com/public/301.cfm

The picture below shows all the accessories we made to match.  Her hair accessories, her belt and also her flip flops were taken from http://www.mom-stuff.com/public/301.cfm

4th of July Fun Toddler

I apologize I didn't get these posted before the 4th of July.  Things have been crazy for us this summer.  You can use these for other Holidays such as the 24th if you live in a state that celebrates. 

I didn't do anything really fancy with her hair it was all about the accessories with her. 

I made a zig zag part and then put her hair into pigtails  The hair accessories were secured with the fun sidewinders http://www.hairholders.com/ The sidewinders made the accessories stand up.  I was going for the fire work affect with her hair.

We got the instructions for the hair accessories from http://www.mom-stuff.com/public/301.cfm. 

   My daughter got so many compliments.  Also the flip flops and belt she is wearing came from the same website.  We are going to try them in different colors because they were so cute.

St Patricks Day Rockin Bobbie Pins and French Braid Fun

Tons of fun with Braids and Rockin Bobbie Pins for St Patricks Day

Start by making a french braid down the center of her head as shown below.

Then make a french braid up her head toward the center braid.  Do this on both sides of her head as shown below.

You are going to continue making french braids around her head angled towards the center of her head.  Below is the part of her hair

Below shows the bottom back of her neck she is kneeling to get the bottom 3 french braids done.

Below is the french braid above and below her ear.

All in all you have 3 french braids acorss the front of her head and 3 at the bottom of her head.  Once these are done put them all in a ponytail.

Then make a messy bun or make ringlets to give a more sophisticated look.

If you want to turn this into a St. Patricks Day Hairstyle then make some fun Rockin Bobbie pins and I just slide them into different areas on her hair.
