Over the past few months, we have received so many requests for hairstyles that it is hard to accommodate all of them. We wish we had time to do all of them, but with six children who are my highest priority… it is difficult to find spare time.
What we do find, however, is that there may be a reoccurring theme among the hairstyle requests…
We have had quite few Facebook posts or emails asking for hairstyles from The Game of Thrones TV series on HBO. We do not watch HBO, but many fans have sent in photos and I have to admit some of the hairstyles are super cute!
{Note to readers: This is not a show that we will watch in our home, simply because we do not agree with its content. We also would not advise anyone under the age of 18 to view it either, since it apparently contains mature content and themes.}
From an emailed photo of a hairstyle worn by the character named Sansa, here is what we are calling this the ”Double French Braid & Twist”…
Steps:
- To begin, center-part the hair and then section off about a 1.5 inch strip on either side of the part. {These sections will provide the hair for the two French backs.}
- Then French Braid the right section until you reach as far back as the crown of the head, then finish of the hair with a simple braid {tying it off loosely with an elastic band}…
- Repeat step #2 on the left section of the hair…
- Then take the braids and twist them around each other, tying them off together with an hair elastic.
- Add hairspray {if desired}.
We added volume to the hair with a curling wand beforehand, simply to add more texture to the hairstyle. It was only on the top layer of the hair, with the underlying hair “as is”.
This would be a perfect 2nd-day hairstyle if you had braids or curls in your hair from the previous day. It is so simple to do, as long as you know how to French Braid, and will certainly have people asking you how you did it!
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, two elastic bands, hairspray, and curling iron {if desired, for texture}
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
As another side note, my hubby and I officially entered a video application for The Amazing Race! I have been trying to convince my husband to apply with me ever since season #1… but he finally gave in and decided to do it this year! The Amazing Race has been my dream for several years now, so if you happen to know someone at CBS {or know someone who knows someone}, please let them know to look for us!!!
Thanks, and Happy Hairdoing!
