Make it or Break it Another Lauren Hairstyle Braid to Bun



    Lauren's hair on Make it or Break it TV show is one of our favorites. We love braids and she always has the cutest braids. So here is another one of our replications of her hair.
    I started by making a french braid that started by hugging the front top of her hair and curved around her hair and ended just below the opposite ear.


    The picture below shows the braid from the back.

    Now pull the remaining hair into a low pony below her ear and include the braid.

    Then just make a cute messy bun.

Another Not Hair Related but Cute

    I believe in the tooth fairy

    I believe in the Easter bunny

    I believe in Santa, too


    My Grand daughter ask me this year, "Grandma do you believe in Santa Clause?" I replied without hesitation "Yes Kaylee I do believe."

    I believe in all things good. You might ask how the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny and Santa are good. In my experience they teach us at a very young age to believe in things we cannot see, touch or smell. They can lay the foundation for believing in greater unseen things as we mature. They help children to believe in their dreams. They help children to have faith in things they can not see.As we realize that the tooth fairy, the Easter bunny and Santa are not as we perceived them, we are old enough to learn that their gifts were real and that the love they were given with was also real. By this time we have learned much more about life, relationships and values. If you believe, make someone special a tooth pillow to leave out for the tooth fairy. Help them to believe in their dreams.

Puffy Braids to Pigtails

    Start by making a center part all the way down her head. I put the left side in a holder to keep out of the way while I work on the right side.
    Make a small part at the bottom and secure with an elastic (I am making 2 puffy braids up her head)
    Make a 2nd puffy braid

    Then secure all the hair on the right side into a ponytail.

    Do the same thing to the left side.

    Then I took another elastic and made sure I didn't pull the ponytail all the way through.

Little Girl's Hairstyles -Twist Braids into Pony Loop 10-15 min

    Well, this was another experiment that I ended up liking pretty ok, and unlike some of my more elaborate creations, this is one we actually do quite often. So it has my everyday ease of doing thumbs up!

    This hairdo is a great one to start out using some lightweight gel, worked through nice, wet hair. The gel will help keep the hairs tucked into the loop at the end.
    This is how I parted it to begin with: Down the center to the ears, and clipped off the back.
    Make 4 ponys, 2 on each side of the first part.
    Do a twist braid on each of the four ponys. I had my little gal help me hold the ends of the braids.
    Once all the twist braids are done, comb the back of the hair into a low pony.
    You can either put in an elastic and secure the pony first, and then bring in the twists, or do it all at the same time. I don't like having more than 2 elastics around a pony, and the loop does requre another, I chose to do it all together. The trick with that is to bring one braid over at a time, and keep it tight.
    Secure with an elastic.
    On the last pull through, pull the majority of the length of hair through, leaving enough to wrap around the base of the pony.
    Wrap the tail around like so, until all the hair is wound around.
    Wrap another clear elastic around the wrapped hair. Having wet hair here will help keep the loop smooth and even. Try to keep it all together as you pull it through the last elastic, or else it can look a little messy (like mine here!)


    Smooth is out as much as possible, and spray it well!

Little Girl's Hairstyles -Q & A: How to get the gals to sit still long enough to do their hair!!??

    A recent comment (and many many others) have led me to share just some things I do to get my gals to sit still and let me play with their hair.
    This is what my friend Angelia said:

    I can't get my fiance's girls to sit still and play beauty shop. I even got a comb and everything. I want to play with their hair so bad, but they just run around like boys. :0(


    Well, here's what I do ladies:
     
    1. I go to my girls' bathroom and grab 3 things: Their small step stool, the garbage (for hairs that are combed out),  and the basket that I keep all of my hair 'tools' in (elastics, combs, hairspray, spray bottle, etc.). It's portable and I keep it under my bathroom sink so it's ready to go.
    2. I park them on the small stool in front of the TV (gasp! I know). I turn it on to their favorite cartoon (or whatever they'll watch).
    3. If that is not going to hack it that day, I offer a variety of my wondeful homemade nutritional snacks...such as candy, fruit snacks, pretzels,etc., to eat while they watch TV. (I am teaching excellent habits here.) 
     
    My basket
    This usually works 9 times out of 10 with my 3 year old. My 6 year old has been through this enough that she'll stand still for me in the bathroom and we just chat while I do her hair. But, like I mentioned in my last Q & A, it just takes repetition. Kids will get used to a routine and you can have your 15 minute window of hair time. I've found that having all my stuff readily available helps too, because if I'm constantly getting up to get something, they like to get up too and run away.
     
    I hope that's doable for some of you! Don't give up--they get used to it, and LOTS of compliments help them start to like the whole 'getting pretty' time.  :)

Make it or Break it Lauren's HairStyle

    This hairstyle was taken from one of my daughters favorite TV shows Make it or Break it. This is our version of Lauren's hairstyle from the last episode.
    We started by making a poof in the center of her head.


    Then I split the remaining hair in half. I french braided the hair starting above the ear. Keep the braid up high because it is going to end up in a ponytail. Do the same to the other side.

    You will have what looks like 3 separate ponytails. The center poof and the 2 french braids.

    Then take the 3 ponytails and put them into one ponytail in the center of her head.

Sides up with Twist

    Take just the sides of her hair and pull back to the center of her head. The center hair is left down under the elastic.
    Take the hair in the ponytail and pull it through to give the twist.

    Then we make loose ringlets in the rest of her hair.

Little Girl's Hairstyles -Puffy Braids with Headband and Corkscrew Curls 15-20 Min

    Here's a "Half and Half" hair do. I have seen versions of this idea at various times, and have always had mixed thoughts on them. "Is her hair supposed to be curly? Should only parts of that be crimped/curly?" I just decided to try it out for myself, and I think it's a keeper!
    This is what we started with: Mostly straight, but with some pesky waves underneath.
    So I lightly misted her hair with water and round brushed it all straight.
    Next I parted off the headband section, and clipped the back away. I parted off the first of 5 ponys, each about 2 inches wide.
    I pulled the first 3 ponys into the next, like here.
    After the 3rd, I parted off the next 2 sections.
    I put in an elastic in the last pony first, since I wanted to join both the bottom pony and the top into this last pony.
    Here's what it looked like after I put in both sides.
    Next (and I'm not sure why I don't have pictures of this ....) I did corkscrew curls, using my 1/2 inch curling iron, around the back of her head. I took pieces only from the top, right next to the parted off headband, only going about an inch down from the headband, and I did a corkscrew curl. I then did the same inch tall section next to it, and so on until I'd done all the way around her head. Let the curls cool, and then comb through them lightly, from underneath, with your fingers, to separate the hair and spread them out a bit.
    This shows better what pieces I curled going around the back of her head.
    This big flower bow came from KayteBug Boutique. Excuse the goofiness. She'd had enough hair for the day.

Little Girl's Hairstyles -So You Think You Can....Twist? 20-30 Min

    So, I'm always on the lookout for new 'do's, (aren't we all?) and one evening, I happened upon this hair do on one of my very favorite shows of all time: "So You Think You Can Dance". The little gal Mollee had her hair done up like this (or at least it's what I think her hair was like, thank goodness for a DVR, I had to rewind the closeups of her hair several times), and I just thought it was awesome! So I had to try it out. Here's our version of the SYTYCD do! (I have another one coming later--I'm so excited!)
    I first parted off a circular shape in the center of head, leaving about 2 inches of hair hanging down around the perimeter of her head, and clipped off the top part.
    I then gathered the 'headband' portion, and clipped that off underneath, since I worked with the top section first.
    I did 4 twist rolls down this top section. Here's how to do a twist roll: Start with a rectangular small section of hair.
    Split it in half.
    Knot the two sections one time.
    Twist the two sections a few times (this is what helps the roll stay in).
    After twisting the sections, knot the two pieces again.
    And pull both sides down evenly and tightly. Mine is a tad bit off centered, which I detest, but alas, I can only strive for perfection.
    I did this four times down her head, using all the hair that I parted off on top.
    Next, I did a french twist braid down each side. As I went, I picked up the pieces from the twist rolls I made, and weaved them into the twist braid.
    I also only picked up hair from the bottom, not the top as I went.
    I brought it down to the middle of her head and clipped it off so I could do the next side.
    You can see here how I picked up the pieces from her twist rolls  a tad bit late as I was going down her head. Try to make the pieces go straight out from the twist rolls into the twist braid, and your twist rolls won't slant to one side like mine.
    After I finished both sides, I put in an elastic, and then did a twist braid down her ponytail.
    I got this super cute flower from Angela's Accessories.
    Well, I hope this inspired you to do some fun hair (or at the very LEAST, get dancing!). I had fun trying to figure it out. If you ever have a picture of a hairdo you want to learn how to do, feel free to send it my way and I'll do my best to figure it out! It's rather ridiculous how much I would love to do it!
