In this hairstyle tutorial we have an exciting surprise for you all!
CGH#2 asked me if she could film a tutorial, so we decided to mix it up a bit by allowing her to teach you one of her go-to hairstyles on herself! She was so nervous to be teaching the tutorial… but you can see her courage as you watch the video! Her fans were so good to her in the comment box on YouTube… it was quite sweet!
This simple braided bun is a cute, quick style designed for young teenagers learning to do their own hair or people who need a great style in a hurry!
We especially thought of this one with swimmers {wet hair} as well as for other athletics or cheer/dance! The hairstyle is also great for “day-three” hair, which is best worn up so you can pull it back and still look good.
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, 2 hair elastics, 1 rubber band, hairspray, and a few bobby pins or spin pins {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Hairstyle Steps:
- Comb all of the hair up into a high ponytail… {You will want it to sit high on the head, not on the back of your head.}
- Secure the high ponytail with a hair elastic…
- Divide the ponytail into three sections and create a simple, basic braid down to the ends of the hair…
- Secure this braid with a small elastic {preferably the same color as your hair}…
- Then twist the braid around the front of the ponytail holder to create the bun effect. {You really want the braid to lay flat against the rubberband so that the braid is featured well}…
- Once the hair is all twisted around into a bun, secure it with another hair elastic or bobbypins/spin pins. {Either way will work fine, so simply pick whatever is most comfortable for you.}…
- Add a little pop to the hairstyle by throwing on a cute headband as an accessory.
Happy Hairdoing!

Subtle Twist into Side Braid | Easy Hairstyles
November 21, 2012
Quick and easy, those are the hairstyles that I LOVE!!!
This one is a perfect hairstyle for those days or mornings when you have very little time on your hands. Perhaps what I enjoy the most about it is that the style is meant to be loose. There is nothing wrong with tight and crisp hairstyles, but there is just something about that romantic ‘tousled‘ look in a braid that is super cute and very trendy right now!
And… it takes no more than 3-5 minutes to complete! This hairstyle incorporates as soft, single twistback on one side that is then merged into a side braid.
We also included small snippets from our family videos this year of the kids’ in their Halloween costumes! Enjoy!
Items Needed: 1 hairband… that’s it! {hairspray and bobby pins optional}
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Happy Hairdoing!

Comment on this post »Cocoon Curls | No-Heat Curl Hairstyles
October 21, 2012
The hairstyle for this week is sure to be a popular one, since so many women are reluctant to use too much heat in their hair. The golden question with using no heat is… how do you obtain gorgeous curls without it???
First, I want to give a huge shout-out to Intermountain Moms on Facebook! They have a program similar to Dial-a-Nurse, only they use pure social media to help us moms!
Nurse Dani at IntermountainMoms was able to help me this last week know when we should take CGH#1 to the doctor after she fractured her wrist during gymnastics… she saved me approx $150 for an x-ray that would have been too early to tell! {It is fractured, BTW. *sad*} They also have daily giveaways there, so be sure to enter! {My friend won a 1-month supply of diapers in August!}
Well, we have already shown you how to create No-Heat Headband Curls, and we have shown you how to make No-Heat Sock Curls.
How about another cute no-heat curling technique???
This version uses a technique we call Cocooning, yes, cocooning as in a caterpillar turning into a butterfly!
Since it uses a knot to, they style only provides curl on the bottom 2/3 of the hair, so I find that a headband or hat is the perfect accessory for this hairstyle! {You might also pull the hair up into a hair-wrapped ponytail, which will wonderfully show off those gorgeous curls!}
These cocoon curls also last for a few days, so you can combine these curls as a 2nd or 3rd day ‘do using any of our accent braids, twists, etc!
Rather than try an explain the steps here, it is better for you to watch the video tutorial below… it will be much easier to follow that way…
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, bandana, hairspray {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 15-20 minutes
Skill Level: Hard
Happy Hairdoing!

Comment on this post »Double-Frenchbacks into High Pony | Cute Ponytail Ideas
October 14, 2012
As an initial note, this is actually a 3rd-day hairstyle on my daughter…
On Day 1, she had used a high twisty bun, then removed it on Day 2 to leave subtle curls with a pullback on top, and this ponytail style what we used on Day 3…
My girls and I have been wearing this ponytail hairstyle for a few months now after seeing it on Pinterest. Just the other day, I uploaded a photo on Instagram of me wearing this ponytail when I was in LA a few weeks ago. Our fans there loved it!
This easy pony hairstyle incorporates a pullback {pompadour} on top and French-braided sides that are brought up with the remaining hair into a high ponytail…
I then took a small strand of hair from the ponytail and wrapped it around the elastic band, for a cute hair-wrapped pontail.
You will find that this pony hairstyle is perfect for cheer, gymnastics, other sports, or simply to wear around any day!
I receive emails all the time from moms who love ponytails, but are looking for cute ways to spice them up! This will do it, and you will receive compliments all day!
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, 1 large hair elastic, 3-4 bobby pins, hairspray and accessory {if desired}.
Time Requirement: 5 minutes
Skill Level: Medium
Happy Hairdoing!
