Flipped Half Ponytail | Easy Hairstyles
August 18, 2010
Here is another hairdo that can help satisfy the many requests for Back-to-School Hairstyles! It is perfectly simple, and literally only takes a minute or two to do (even for dads)! In fact, many of our styles will make for great Back-to-School looks!
Funny enough, I filmed this hairstyle in early July and posted it on YouTube a few weeks ago. Many of you know that I just returned from Hawaii on vacation. While flying home, on the plane I watched “The Last Song” with Miley Cyrus. If you have seen the movie, released earlier this year, you will notice that Miley’s character wore this hairstyle during the funeral scene near the end of the film. I thought it looked just as cute on Miley as it does on my girls! I know you will like how easy this hairstyle is to do, and is is perfect for little girls, tweens, teens, and moms! Click below to view the hairstyle tutorial…
Items Required: Rat-tail comb, spray bottle, topsy-tail tool (if you do not want to use your fingers), 1 ponytail holder/band, accessory (if desired).
Time Requirement: 2-3 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 »Video Hairstyles: Triple-Twist Ponytail
July 20, 2010
I wanted to provide a video tutorial for one of the first hairstyles I ever put on this website, because I received several requests from followers to do so.
The 2008 hairstyle was called Triple-Twist Ponytail (click to view photos/instructions)…
Items Needed: Brush, comb, 2 rubber bands, and hairspray.
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes.
Skill Level: Easy
What I love about this hairstyle is that it can be done so quickly, yet it looks fairly complex! Even dad’s can do this since it does not involve any braiding! (The thickness of the ponytail will vary based on how thick or thin your daughter’s hair may be. You may find that to change up this style a bit, you could use two ponytails instead of one.)
Funny enough, I decided to turn the camera on my husband during the filming of this hairstyle… so there is a brief cameo by my dear hubby a few seconds into the video. He wasn’t too happy with me, but I thought you should all get to meet him! (He’s getting a kick out of the YouTube comments this video gets.) Here is the video tutorial…

Comment on this post »Daddy Do's: 5-in-1 Simple Braids
June 15, 2010
A year ago, I started a series of hairstyles here that were so simple even a daddy could do them. We received quite a bit of feedback from moms that they loved the idea of “Daddy Do’s”! I have also received quite a few emails from single fathers, or stay-at-home dads, who appreciate this website and its simple video instructions. Those men are my heroes, so when I posted some of their emails… many of you jumped in and gave them some positive comment love! As a result, I decided to post more videos in this series.
Here is a very simple hairstyle that uses two simple braids. For dads, this hairdo can be accesorized any number of different ways, but I highlight five easy ones here. This means that you can make 5 days of hairdo’s out of just one easy style! So, girls, grab your hubbies and sit them down in front of this video for some daddy inspiration! This will be something that your daughters will remember forever!
Items Needed: Spray bottle, rat-tail comb, two elastic bands, headband, ribbon, do rag, hat.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes (for mom), 5-10 minutes (for dad)
Skill Level: Easy
Happy Hairdoing!
