How did all the St. Paddy's day hairdos turn out? I saw some really cute ones when we were out and about that day. After a playdate on the play place at Carl's Jr., preschool, jumping on the tramp, and then a birthday party that evening, our shamrock hairdos were looking a little sad--but then, what hairdo would still look good after all of that? The gals got to play!
This was a quick hairdo before preschool one day, that I had grand designs for, but an impatient child stopped those before they got too far along. I was still happy with the result, and so was she (since she loves ANY hairstyle that leaves her hair DOWN). And I apologize I don't have a picture from the top down that shows both sides of the french braids, but, again, trying to get her out the door, and keeping her happy at the same time!
I started this french braid hairstyle with an angle part (going from a side part beginning and going diagonal across the top of her head).
I parted off on the larger side, down to her ear, prepping for the first french braid.
I did a french braid a few inches long, secured with an elastic, and parted off my next french braid section, keeping it equal to the first.
I repeated this one more more time, making three mini french braids on this side.
On the opposite side, I did two more mini french braids (I did use a backwards/dutch braids on mine, but do whatever is best for you).
If you have the time and oomph, flat iron or curl the rest of her hair, if needs be. Or just keep her smiling and say, "Hey, we are done!"
Happy Weekend Gals! We are off to dance competitions tomorrow, and more fun home painting projects (the nesting is really kicking in--my wonderful hubby is being kept BUSY!)
I'm doing this tomorrow! My daugher is wanting her down a lot lately too....it's nice for a change. I only wish I could curl her hair nicer. I'm bad at it for one thing, and it doesn't hold the curls for another.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! My daughter won't have a bar of me putting anything in her hair so we ended up cutting it to a short bob. One day I hope she will let me do all these cool braids and things (because I do know how to do them!) Thanks for stopping by my blog today! :)
ReplyDeleteCute! I love trying to be creative and come up with styles that I like and find interesting - combined with the request of the day. My DSD likes her hair down too (her mom often has it in a slick back tight ponytail) so we usually try to accomodate that, but keep the front pulled back creatively. :) It's a nice compromise I think.

Oh my goodness, I need you to teach me how to french braid! Or come to my house and do my hair every morning. ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love styles that keep hair out of your face but still show off the length.
