Front French Braids into Side Ponies
February 08, 2010
**Note from Mindy: Get ready for an amazing hairstyle from a fantastic single dad! Lance is the perfect “Little Girl’s” Daddy, and has a cute little girl at that! Congratulations to Lance for being our February’s Hairdoer of the Month! Here is Lance’s hairdo and a quick bio…
My name is Lance, and I am a single working dad. My adventure began when I moved to Singapore six and a half years ago to teach at an American school there. Living in S.E. Asia provided me many opportunities to travel all over that part of the world–Cambodia, Indonesia, India, Myanmar, Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia. I was amazed at the beauty of these places, but at the same time, I was heartbroken at the great number of orphaned children I encountered. Precious little ones in need of loving homes.
After spending a great deal of time in prayer, I began the process of adoption. Not an easy task being a single dad, but nonetheless a burden that God had placed on my heart. I was quite surprised when the adoption officials in Vietnam sent me a referral of a six-month-old baby girl! But I took one look at that picture, and she completely stole my heart. I completed all the final paperwork, and traveled to Vietnam to bring my daughter home when she was nine months old.
Now my little one is a happy, chatty, and precocious three and a half year old—my, how time flies! After six years in Singapore, I felt it was time to move on. I do yearly mission work in Central America and have a heart for that part of the world, so we are currently living in Guatemala, where I teach at an international school and where my daughter and I are active in a local church. Although we are not the “traditional” family, we are just as happy as can be, and I know that my daughter and I have both been blessed through the miracle and gift of adoption.

June 14, 2009
This hairstyle may look complicated, but if you know how to do a simple twist then you can do this do!
Items needed: Brush, comb, hairspray, spray bottle, 4 rubber bands, and accessories.
Time requirement: 10 minutes.
Skill Level: Medium
Step-by-Step Instructions:
To begin, part the hair on either side…
Then part down from the middle part to the ears on both sides of the head…
Secure with clips or rubber bands to keep hair out of the way. Take the front section on the right and seperate into two pieces…
Twist them tightly together…
Have your DD (Darling Daughter) hold the twist. Now repeat on the other side and have DD hold the second twist. Now part remaining back of hair into two sections. Clip one side out of the way…
Gather the right side of hair into a ponytail and add in the twist your DD held…
Secure with a rubber band…
Repeat on the left side…
To create ponytail twists, start by seperating one ponytail into two even sections and then seperate each section again for a total of four sections…
Twist strands #1 and #2 together. Repeat with strands #3 and #4. You should have TWO twists for each ponytail…
Now, twist the two twists together (they will naturally want to do this on their own) and then secure at the end with a rubber band…
For added flair, flip the ends up before adding the rubberband…
Repeat the two-twist process on the other ponytail and secure with a rubber-band. Add flowers or bows as desired…
Happy Hairdoing!

Comment on this post »Rosette Buns | Flower Girl Hairstyle
April 29, 2009
Here is a super cute bun hairstyle that I think you will love!
Items Needed: Comb, brush, spray bottle, hairspray, and 6 rubber bands.
Time Requirement: 10-15 minutes
Skill Level: Easy
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Begin by brushing hair and wetting it down. Part hair wherever the natural part is and form a big ponytail on the back of the head. Secure with rubber band.
You are now going to create 5 hair sections in the ponytail. Two sections on top and three on the bottom. The easiest way to do this is to divide the hair into two pieces (one on top and one on bottom). Make sure the bottom section contains slightly more hair than the top section… to allow for the extra hair section. Feel free to loosly rubberband the top and bottom sections to keep them separate.
Now, ignore the bottom section for a minute. Divide the top section into two even-volume pieces…
Twist each piece until it is tight…
Now wrap the twisted hair around itself creating a rosette looking bun (see pictures below if you are confused by this step). Secure the bun by putting another rubber band around its base. Make sure all ends are anchored by the rubber band, and repeat with section #2. Your DD’s hair should now look like this…
Now divide the bottom section into three equal-volume strands…
Again twist each piece until it is tight. Twist the strand around itself to create the Rosette bun. Again, secure the ends with a rubber band…
I did the piece on the left and the right first leaving the piece in the middle for last. When you twist the middle piece into a bun you might find there is not a lot of room for the bun. No worries… if you look closely at this picture, you can see my middle bun hangs down just a little for extra room. That’s ok. Your DD’s hair should now look like this…
Happy Hairdoing!
