Hanging Heart | Valentine's Day Hairstyles
February 01, 2011
We posted this heart hairstyle two years ago in photo tutorial format, but we never filmed a video for it. This is such a simple fun style for girls of all ages, that we wanted to be sure to upload it before Valentine’s Day this year.
The options here are endless, as I hope to show in a few more videos later this week, but on this specific hair style you may opt to microbraid the two heart strands. I left them as twists, because they seem less “kid-ish” that way.
Also, I believe this heart hairstyle looks fantastic on straight or curly hair. In the previous photo tutorial, my daughter’s hair was straight. In this video tutorial, I added volume to her hair via the subtle curls left over from our Double French Braids style (we call this using a previous day’s style to create another… a “Second-Day ‘Do“).
The shape of the heart and whether the tail is longer or shorter, can be adjusted in any way you want (teens tend to want thinner strands and longer tails). You could even buy the colored hair spray and color the strand pink, if you wanted, for Valentine’s Day!
Items Needed: Rat-tail comb, Topsy Tail Tool, pomade, two clear elastic bands, and ribbon (if desired).
Time Requirement: Under 5 minutes.
Skill Level: Easy
Happy Hairdoing!

Double-Hidden Braids | Cute Hairstyles
August 11, 2010
Our children will soon be going back to school, so many of you will likely want quick and easy hairstyles for those upcoming mornings! This style is good for girls of all ages, even moms! You can keep the part in the center like I did, or offset it a bit to one side. For a more volumenous effect with the hair, use this as a 2nd day hairdo from our Double French Braids hairstyle tutorial…
Here is a view from the side. Notice how the braid goes under the hair, essentially hiding it?
Items Needed: Rat-tail comb, spray bottle, small elastic band.
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy

With my two oldest girls getting closer to the teenage years, they are wanting less and less the “little girl” hairdo’s. Fortunately I still have two little daughters left, so you will be getting a mixture of age styles. Let me know what you think!
Happy Hairdoing!

Comment on this post »Hippy Braided Headband | 70s Hairstyles
June 21, 2010
I am getting more and more hairstyle requests for tween and teen looks that can be done in under five minutes. This style is very simple, and gets tons of compliments. It uses a simple braided headband, which can be placed across the forehead like a leather strap or beaded band that many celebrities are now using. (If your daughter has bangs, you can bring the same braid up over the bangs across the front and back under for another great-looking headband accent.)
To get our texture, I braided the hair the day before. In our case, this is one of many “2nd-Day” hairstyles that you can create from the Double French Braids with Messy Flips. I also have a French Braid tutorial for this same prestyle in my YouTube library above.
Items Needed: Two small bobby pins.
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
If you like it, let me know! Happy Hairdoing!

Comment on this post »Subtle Twist Back | Daddy Do
March 20, 2009
This hairdo is as easy as they come. What a great hairstyle for those mornings you have 3-5 minutes to be out the door.
This one isn’t anything original, but is a great one to have in your repertoire.
Items Needed: Brush, comb, hairspray, 1 rubber band, and accessories.
Time Requirement: 2-3 minutes.
Skill Level: Easy
Start by brushing the hair. My dd had her hair braided the day before so her hair was pretty wavy, but straight or super curly hair would work too.
Starting right next to and slightly behind the ear, begin to twist it back…
When you get the whole strand of hair twisted, have your dd hold it, then repeat on the other side. Combine ends together on the back of head… and where they meet, add a rubber band to secure…
Add a ribbon or flower for bling. Easy and fast.
Happy Hairdoing!
