CuteGirlsHairstyles on Disney Junior
February 06, 2013
Several months ago we were contacted by a producer from Disney Online who asked if we would be interested in helping out with one of their online episodes…
Ironically, we were already in LA meeting with another division within Mickey-ville responsible for the DisneyStyle YouTube channel… and neither division knew about the other’s interest in us! Since we were already in town, we agreed to help.
We filmed this webisode with Mark and his beautiful 2-yr old daughter. Mark is a stay-at-home dad who is doing his absolute best to cover for mom while she works. {There is something so cute about a daddy “trying” that endears them to us, right???}
Here we introduce Mark to the Topsy Tail tool, and how to use it. In fact, Shaun, my hubby demonstrates it for him… and Mark learned it perfectly!
Interestingly enough, this Dads short was only supposed to be viewed on Disney Online, however all throughout these past two months, it has been airing on Disney Jr at night! {That came as a HUGE surprise to us!}
How did we know??? Several hundred of our fans throughout the US have been commenting on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, or emailing us to state that they had just seen us on Disney Junior!
Well, we contacted Disney and the responsible team authorized us {thanks, Disney!} to show you our Dads episode here on Cute Girls Hairstyles…
Enjoy!
If you loved this video, please go here and leave a comment for Mark {the dad} about how awesome he did! We certainly need more involved daddies like Mark in this world!
And… as always, feel free to share! Happy Hairdoing!

Messy Fishtail Braid | Special Guest AndreasChoice
October 07, 2012
I have seen a lot of beautiful half-up/half-down hairstyles floating around this Fall, so I think they are going to be very “on trend” for this season.
I invited a very good friend of mine from YouTube, Andrea from AndreasChoice to help me out with this style. She is a beauty and fashion guru on YouTube with nearly 900,000 subscribers! Thanks, Andrea, for helping me!
This messy fishtail braid is very easy to create, and looks even better as a second-day ‘do after twisty buns, pin coils, or braids the day before!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 2 small hair elastics, 1 large hair elastic, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes
Skill Level: Medium
Steps:
- Begin by grabbing a section of hair just behind each ear, and be careful to not go too high up into the bang area. You want this to look like the side sections are pulled back…
- Secure the two sections from each side back into an elastic on the back of the head…
- Flip the ponytail up, over, and behind the elastic once. This will create a subtle twisted look to the pulled-back, side sections…
- Begin fishtailing the ponytail…
- When the fishtail is completed, gently tug on the edges of the braid to create a ‘messy’ look…
- Secure the ends with a small elastic.
- Add hairspray to control flyways, and a hair accessory if desired.
To add an even more disheveled look, carefully cut the first elastic out of the hair. This will loosen the top of the messy braid and leave your hair looking more loose and less styled.
Believe it or not, these messier looks are getting quite popular on the fashion runways this season!
This half-up/half-down hairstyle is perfect for girls of all ages, and is sure to bring lots of compliments!
Enjoy!
Happy Hairdoing!

Comment on this post »Quadruple-Flipped Ponytail #2 | Easy Hairstyles
August 07, 2012
Some of you may remember about a month ago where we showed you a very simple, yet beautiful Quadruple-Flipped Ponytail hairstyle. Today, we are showing you a second way to create this cute ponytail but using a different technique and with a softer look.
What we enjoy about this hairstyle is that is that it looks a lot like a Fishtail Braid, without having to braid it that way! {Fishtail braids are one of the most time-consuming braid techniques.} I also did this on straight hair, to get the softer look that we really wanted.
You can use a Topsy Tail tool if you really want to, but the flips were large enough that I did them with my fingers instead. That preference is totally up to you.
When we were finished filming, my husband said that this one is easy enough that we should add it to our “Daddy Do” hairstyle list! To prove it, he recreated the style for me! My only regret was that we did not have him film the tutorial!
This hairstyle is perfect for sports, especially if you wet down the hair first and pull the flips tighter than I had done.
If you have longer hair, you can also continue adding flips to the hair… one fan on YouTube said that she was able to get in 7 flips!
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 5-6 clear hair elastics, Topsy Tail tool {or use your fingers}, hairspray and accessory {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Happy Hairdoing!

Comment on this post »Flipped Ends | Layered Hairstyles
December 21, 2011
Although the focus of our tutorials is on doing cute hairstyles on my girls, you can still do all the styles on yourself as well. More and more, we receive questions on how I do my own hair in the videos we film. My goal is to include more of these self hairstyles from time to time.
This straight hairstyle is easy to do. With naturally straight or straightened hair, you can alter the way it looks a bit by using a flat iron to flip the hair ends “in” or “out”. This is the most common style technique on straight hair.
When we were being filmed for YouTube’s 20/20 special, our stylist actually recommended that I flip the ends the same direction… which was something I had never thought about, but loved it! . It turned out super cute, and I receive compliments whenever I do this!
You can do this technique on short to medium hair, but with longer hair you will not benefit from the flips as much. You can also choose to back-comb some of the hair on the top to help add a little volume. I show you how to do this in the video.
{I also apologize for the clapping of the flat iron, as it is an iron that I have had for a long time. As with all hairstyles that use heat, please be sure to use a good heat protectant first.}
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, alligator clip {to hold top sections of hair}, heat protectant, flat-iron, and hairspray.
Time Requirement: 10+ minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Happy Hairdoing!
