Our Crazy Hair Day…
March 26, 2010
This past Monday was Crazy Hair Day at the kids’ charter school. You can see a picture of the hairstyles we came up with above. I have some pretty good ones on this site, but wanted to try some new hair styles. They were pretty CRAZY, alright! One DD even won first place in her grade! (Warning: Crazy Hair Day always requires the use of tons of gel and hairspray!!!)
Our oldest daughter wanted a hairdo like a Who from Whoville. I saw this style at a community play of “Horton Hears a Who” and recently received a photo from a loyal follower, Julie, with a very similar look. Here is what we came up with…
Our second daughter found this crazy picture online and wanted something similar. It was impossible to recreate, so here’s what we came up with…
Our daughter #3, my little one who loves the “Bun Hawk” so much, wanted a mohawk with spikes! Here is what her hairstyle looked like…
So there you have this year’s versions for Crazy Hair Day! Please click Crazy Hair Day to see hairdo’s from past years.
Happy Hairdoing!

XO Valentine's Day Hairstyle
February 13, 2010
Here is my last Valentine’s Day hairstyle for 2010, and it requires a little bit of “creativity” to see it! It is a little out there… so I did this on my #3 daughter last week as a test to see if people at school could figure it out, and everyone did. In fact, some of her teachers took pictures. It took a bit of practice to get it, so I explain some of what I learned in the video tutorial below. Here it is…
XO (Hug & Kiss) Hairstyle
Items Needed: Brush, comb, spray bottle, 5 elastic bands, and 3 ribbons
Time Requirement: 20 minutes
Skill Level: Hard
Also, don’t forget our other Valentine’s Day Hairdo’s! Be sure to email photos of your V-Day do’s or simply post them to our Facebook page!
Enjoy, and Happy Hairdoing!

Comment on this post »Strange Christmas Hairstyles…
December 03, 2009
In honor of this Holiday Season, I decided to post a few photos of wild and crazy hairdo’s that any of you “adventurous” or wild moms could try if you wanted! I am not sure what these people were thinking, but I am sure they took home the grand prize at the family or work party! Take a look at these…
Someone is going to get their eye poked out in #2, or at least could use this ‘do to roast some hot dogs and marshmallows over a campfire! I loved the food in the teeth of the guy in #4! What was he thinking with the eyebrows? The last lady, I am sure, is looking down at all the presents people started placing underneath her in the church foyer! Feel free to pass this along!
Happy Holidays!

Comment on this post »4th of July Hairdo #1: Twists of Fun
July 01, 2009
Some of you may recognize this hairstyle as we featured the bun style last year. However, it is too cute not to be looked at again for this very wonderful holiday! Especially since it originally posted nowhere near the 4th of July.
Tomorrow, I’m taking photos of a fun new firecracker hairdo my hubby came up with. I hope it works out! This season is perhaps one of my most favorite holiday seasons of the year, second to Christmas! Yes, I am a patriot thru and thru, but there is something truly fantastic about the colors “Red, White, and Blue“! (Rhyming not intentional…)
(These photos are from years past, so our precious little D. will not be in any of them.)
This is my personal favorite hairdo for the 4th of July, and I have used it on my girls since they had hair long enough to play with. This hairdo is very simple, cute, and we receive tons of compliments every year!
Now, the basics of this hairstyle I have featured on here before so I won’t bore you with them again (instead, it can be found in the post used on Crazy Hair Day called One CRAZY ‘Do). Please view the link and follow the steps for this fun 4th of July hairstyle. Even if your DD has short hair, you can simply use two buns on top…
For pipe cleaner curly-cue’s, I used the solid-colored red/white/blue (as seen in the pictures). There are “sparkly” red/white/blue ones that you can find sometimes at craft stores that I actually like better for the flair, but they are more flimsy and harder to see…
Or find some cute 4th of July headbands (at Target, Walmart, or any dollar store) and throw those on top!
As for the stars on the faces, I simply purchased red, white, and blue craft paint and a package of small kitchen sponges from Wal-Mart. We then cut the sponges into different shaped stars, squirt paint on paper plates, dip the best-looking side into the paint (like you would a stamp), and then press the painted side gently on your DD’s cheek. You can even superimpose a different-colored smaller star onto one already on the cheek for a more decorative look… just make sure the first star is already dry. The painted impression left by each stamp (given the sponge texture) gives a rustic-looking star that looks truly awesome! For clean up, simply use soap with water and scrub gently with a used washcloth.
Or if your too busy to mess with the paint Target has some super cute 4th of July stickers (which I like better than the Tattoo’s) for the face and hands. Easy to get on, easy to get off!
I hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July! Please promise me that you will comment back here with the number of compliments you receive.
Happy Hairdoing!
