Little Girl's Hairstyles: Off centered braid and twist hairstyle no. 3: 15-20 min

My last example (for a while) of the off-centered braid and twist. This is the basic beginning that I shared in my first post in this series. (Check out my last two posts).


I begin with the french braid, and the twist on the side, and join them in the back. I used my waver again on the rest of her hair. You could also do some flat iron waves, or corkscrew curls, or just flat iron it straight as well.
This is another cute one for Easter, and gives you great hair to show off some of those great big flowers or bows that match their dresses.







 This is it friends......for on Wednesday (at the latest) I'm going in to have my baby girl! I have some posts with videos planned however, until I can get back to doing hair and hopefully being normal again! Have a great week and wish me luck!

Little Girl's Hairstyles: Off-centered french twist braids 15-20 min

Got any big plans for spring break? Ours is coming next week, and it will just be baby land in our house. My girls are so excited to be little mommy's helpers and take care of their baby sister they are about ready to burst. It is so thrilling for me to see their anticipation. :)


Here's the second hairstyle I promised using the off-centered braid and twist idea that I shared in my last post.
Off centered french twist braids:

 I split the larger parted off section into two equal parts, and instead of doing a french braid, I did a french twist braid (see my video on how to do french twist braids). I crossed the top twist over the second when bringing it back to the center (or off center) of her head.  I did the same regular twist on the smaller side, like in the previous post, and joined them together.


 I used my waver to finish off the rest of her hair and added a big bow.  She's all ready for preschool!


 A pretty and fun Easter hairdo to keep in mind!

Little Girl's Hairstyles - Valentine's Day Dos! 10-15 min

Valentine's Day Hairstyles!!

I had a most lovely email from a reader who sent me her cute Valentine's hairstyle! Look at this:

Here's what Jo said: i love your site ! here's one u can try & have been doing this to my girl for about 10 years... this pic is the next door neighbor's lil girl i just did b4 school today (v-day party today at school) did my girl too but her pic wasn't as clear & her hair is longer wanted to show it works on shorter hair too... thanks for all the ideas & hope u enjoy this one... the part is the key btw... & i only pull from the top so the braid floats a lil... peace
Thanks a million Jo!! She did such a great job on this hairstyle!!


Here's my submission to the land of hearts and cupids! Start off with a small zig zag part to the crown, and make two hig ponys.

Put in two twist braids on each side.

Join the two twist braids closest to the center in the middle of her head.

Next, join the two outside twist braids down low on her head, forming your heart. You can do this with regular braids, fish tail braids, whatever you want to do.

I used my wave iron on the rest of her head, and stuck in this gorgeous bow from Flowerz In Her Hair.



Happy Valentine's Day!!

Little Girl's Hairstyles - Daisy Chain Braid with a WAVER 10-15 Min

Here's a zippy and cute do that is doable before school! I did it one morning AND took pictures, and got her on the bus. Sorry abut the bluish tint to my pictures here. My bathroom lights stink for picture taking. But the show must go on...


For this fun and fancy one, I started with a side part back to her crown.

I then angle parted the larger section, and clipped off the middle area. I did spritz these little sections with water before I began my braid.

I did a daisy chain braid down to her ear and put in an elastic.

I did another braid in the middle section, angling towards the same direction as the first.

And then, I got out my WAVER. And yes,  I LOVE it! I found this one in a clearance bin at Ross, and you would have thought I'd found a $100 bill buried in that bin. You see, long ago I had ye old crimping iron (1980 called and wanted it back), and I have since yard saled or DI'ed it, and have regretted it ever since. I didn't love the crimpled look, but I just loved the idea of the crimper. Nice, evenly distributed waves, not induced by an hour and a half of braiding. I've searched high and low for one that I liked (I don't like, I repeat, I don't like using the 3 barrel thingamajig) and was easy to use. SO, I'm telling you all this so that when the day comes and you find your waver buried in a bin, you will be as happy as I was! They are FABULOUS! Here's what Bessie (this is what I've named her since she's so beloved now) looks like:

See the nice deep waves? And it has temperature settings so you adjust it according to the type of hair you are using it on.

To begin waving I parted off her hair into small  sections. I comb the hair out first, and lightly mist that section with hairspray, comb again, and then pick up my first piece to wave.

This waver gets extremely hot, so to protect her little noggin, I place the comb right next to her head when I use the waver up close.



Do each piece evenly, and always spray with hairspray before. This will help keep it in throughout the day. When you have waved all her hair, very lightly comb through from underneath, and only if necessary. If you've combed the piece out beforehand, it shouldn't need much.


And voila!
