Corn Rows Into a Pony

We twisted several sections of hair and secured them with an elastic. We used mini clips to secure the corn rows. Gather it all into a pony tail from their...Curl & Fluff!

"K's" CrEaTiOn

Here is a hair creation created by "K" herself! I think it's turned out to be one of my all time favorites!

She showed me the fancy do she made on her "my size barbie" and asked if I would do it for her on her own hair!

I wasn't too sure how it was going to turn out but this is what we did...

First we pulled all her hair back into one big pony tail. From there I took 5-6 smaller sections from the top of the pony tail and pinned them up with mini hair clips like this...

It was probably a little less than 1/2 of the pony tail that ended up clipped back up onto the head.

Then we curled the pony tail and the ends of the flipped up sections with a mini curling iron. Fluffed it a little and set it with hair spray!
It really was that simple and probably took all of 10 min. from start to finish including the curling!

OK... we did this one a LONG time ago, but I really get LAZY and tend to procrastinate when it comes to the explanations! :>

First Section the hair into a front and back section.

Start on either side making one little pony section at a time. (I think we ended up with six sections) After you secure it with an elastic, pull it through/flip it/topsy tail it...what ever you like to call it. Further down in this post, I will TRY to demonstrate how I do my pull throughs.

Continue adding each section to the next and again pulling it through.

Now I'll attempt to show you how we got the pull throughs to look like they did.
Add your pony to the next section, in this picture it happens to be our last section. And secure with an elastic
Next I use a rat tail comb. Poke the tail into the underside of the pony at an angle making it come out in FRONT of your elastic.

Next I twist the ends of the hair i'll be pulling through and loop it over the end of the rat tail like this...Then while holding the end in place, start pulling the comb down toward the scalp and toward the bottom of the pony through the little path your comb made. Like this...
(you may need to pinch the end of the pony tail at this point to help pull it through).


this will pull the ends of the pony tail down through and they should be sticking out of the bottom of it now.
Continue to pull on the pony pulling it taut. It should look like this...

You could leave it like this and be done if you choose. We finished it by connecting the pony to one big side pony and added a flower!

Finished!

Hope you enjoy! Let us know...

Coming up NEXT...Stay tuned for a hair creation created by "K" herself! I think it's turned out to be one of my all time favorites!

Wispy Buns

We started by sectioning off the front into two little ponys. You can make your part in the middle if you prefer.

Then make two larger ponys adding in the little ones in front.

Then twist the hair and clasp it into a pony tail with a bear claw clasp.

Fluff out your wispys!

We did this with wet hair and added mousse to the ends to keep the wispys seperated. You could also do it on dry hair and curl the ends & then fluff. That would be CUTE!Very simple, very quick!

Funky Diva Do & How To:

I have NO idea what to call this knot, but was asked to explain how it is made...This is how I do it!

WARNING...this knot is not MY knot!
I HAVE seen this done on other hair blogs, like this fun blog and I am SURE many others have done it before too.

I apologize for taking forever to get this done...My dd was sick and throwing up... "every" time she starts throwing up her little body will NOT quit until she goes in to the clinic for I.V.'s and phenergan ... so, yet again we took her in as a live pin cushion... poor kid! Any way she is feeling much better now and is again willing to let me play with her hair...

Start by sectioning off your first piece of hair.


Then section that part into two pieces.


Take those two pieces and cross them just like you would when tying a shoe. It'll look like this...


Now you should have two strands of hair that look like this, and instead of pulling the strands tight right here, you want to take the left strand and wrap it up through the hole you have created. Then take the right strand and loop it over and through again. It should look like this...





Now you pull the strands tight to make this...


For this funky diva do we started by parting the hair down the middle. Take a small section on either side and section it off into your two smaller sections, tie it up, and cinch it tight. We did this 3X on each side. This leaves you with tails in the middle...

With all the tails we did a twist and added the extra tails in as we went toward the back. After getting to the back of each of these knotty rows, we tied it off with an elastic.
We then took the tail from the other side of the knot and made a twist on each end of them then swept them up into a pony tail and finished that off with a messy bun.



I hope this explanation helps...if not, let me know and I will record a clip showing the process.


Now, on to another How To:
Squishy Braids

WARNING: This is not MY braid!
This, I call a squishy braid. I have also seen it called the "rick rack" braid here...

I learned how to do this when my dd was just a toddler without enough hair to even do it on but LOVED it and couldn't wait until she had enough hair to try it.

All you do is a simple three stranded braid making sure you don't braid the hair tightly. You want a loose braid. Practice makes perfect!


Braid down as far down as you can. Then you will pinch together two strands in one hand and the remaining strand with the other hand.

With the fingers pinching the two strands together, slowly start to push/slide the braid upward toward the roots of the hair all the while holding the single strand in place.



After you squish your braid secure it with an elastic band and style!
hint: to eliminate little frizzies use gel of pomade etc before braiding

I hope this explanation worked...If not make sure to comment and I'll try to get a short clip posted!
