If you remember one of my recent posts 3 Rope Braided Loops, I mentioned having a "fancier" version of that for you. Well here it is. You'll have to excuse the pictures & the way I documented this because when I started I had no idea where I was going with this! I did this 1 before I ever did the simple loopies do that I previously mentioned. Begin by making the infamous "Barbie bangs" I've done in many of my hairdo's. Start at the right temple and make a diagonal part heading towards the ... continue reading...

A Row of Knots
Sorry it's been a few days. My sister came into town w/her kids & has been here since Friday, and so things have been a bit crazy at my house! Soooo .... it happens to the best of us I think. I did this back in January with grand ideas of all these knots so beautifully going down the back of one of the girls heads, but it didn't turn out as well as I'd of liked. I guess it's because I really like the "smooth & clean" look in most of my hairdo's and so to have things not tight & ... continue reading...
Quick & Easy Messy Bun – My Way
**** UPDATE **** We created a video showing how to make our messy buns. You can watch it, or check out the step-by-step pix below. If you've been with me from the beginning, you know that I really like messy buns, but never seemed to like how mine turned out - so avoided them all together. Maybe you're saying, "It's a messy bun -- it's supposed to look messy & there's no right way they should look." Right? Wrong? Well, right, but I just didn't like the "messy" look mine got -- so after ... continue reading...
Bantu Knots or Silly Buns = Pretty Curls
Don't know if you remember this from last summer .... But the aftermath was this: Well, I've been meaning to see how it would work if I were to do this on one of the other girls longer hair. This last week Goose didn't have school on Friday so I decided it'd be a safe time to try it, just in case it turned into a HUGE Afro that was out of control on her head! So after her bath Thursday night, I dried her hair until it was just barely damp. She's got such thick hair I've tried leaving it ... continue reading...
Braided Headband – Shared Hairdo Spin-off
As I promised yesterday, this is an additional way that you could do yesterday's hairdo that Christine so nicely shared with us. I know there have been all kinds of "fake headband" styles with braids, twists, etc. on other blogs & I don't know if there is anything like this elsewhere ... but I was just going off of what Christine had showed me - except ... When I got to this point of the hairdo from yesterday (having done this on both sides): And maybe you'd already thought this when ... continue reading...
Shared Hair Do
I'm not so sure what to call this one, especially since it's not my own idea. This came from one of my readers - Christine. She sent this to me back after Thanksgiving when I'd done this hairdo. She said her DD's hair wasn't quite long enough to do anything like the bun, so she was inspired to come up with this instead. And - was kind enough to share it and is letting me share it with you guys. So if anyone has a name we can give this one - please send it my way! So - here is the hairdo ... continue reading...
