Glee Hairstyles: Quinn Fabray Tieback
September 08, 2010
So during my summer, during what little free time I had, I became hooked on Fox’s summer repeat of the ”Glee” musical TV series. Although the dramatic content is not suitable for children, I have shown my girls a few of the awesome musical numbers and mashups from albums that we all grew up with!
If you watch the series, you will notice that there are quite a few fun braided hairstyles worn by the girls. In my opinion, Dianna Agron’s character Quinn Fabray has the most beautiful styles…
The series shows quite a few messy (loose) braid styles, and Quinn regularly sports a French Front as seen in the above photo. This hairstyle is perfect for teens/tweens, moms, and little girls. You will also notice that hairstyles like this are extremely popular right now, so I can guarantee that you will receive tons of compliments.
Items Needed: Rat-tail comb, spray bottle, one hairband, hairspray, (accessory if desired).
Time Requirement: 3-5 minutes.
Skill Level: Easy
The particular hairstyle I show below is a “double variation” of the style seen in Quinn’s photo above, with a tieback to finish it off. If you choose to vary the style a bit for another day, feel free to try a Dutch Braid version!
Happy Hairdoing!

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!

Comment on this post »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 »Back to School Hairdo: Twist-Back into Square Knot
August 14, 2009
Begin by straightening hair. This step isn’t necessary, but I like the look better if the hair is straight. It makes the knot stand out a bit more. If your DD’s hair is naturally straight then you are all set!
Items Needed: Brush, comb, hair straightener, bobby pins, and hairspray (pomade optional).
Time Requirement: 5-10 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Now part hair wherever natural part falls. Section off a small piece on each side of the head and twist it back. You can use a little Pomade to help the twists stay together and eliminate flyers from static…
Take the two pieces and tie half a knot. Like you are tying a shoelace. One piece under the other and tighten them against the head. You will now have this…
Now using bobby pins secure this in place. I do it in such a way that the bobby pins are hidden. I think I used about 4-5 bobby pins…
Once the first 1/2 of the knot is secure take the remaining ends and tie together again in the same way… like you are doing a double knot. I think the official name of this is a “square knot“. Use bobby pins to secure in place once again. Leave the ends sticking out a little and fluff if necessary. Use hairspray to help hold in place…
Happy Hairdoing!
