Hairstyles for Girls Q & A #2: My Kids
October 30, 2008
I have received several questions about the kiddies. Here are some answers…
Q: Do you have twins or do they all just look alike?
A: Yes, the oldest two are twins. But the third daughter looks a lot like them too. They often get mistaken for triplets so we call her “Minnie Twinnie”.
Q: Why did you keep the youngest girl’s hair short when the others have long hair?
A: We started with long hair on #4 too, but it just didn’t fit her personality. We decided to try an A-line and we instantly loved it on her. It just fits her crazy, mischievous personality much better. I still try to do different do’s on her, but obviously it is a little more challenging.
Q: Why don’t you show any boy’s hair styles since you have a son?
A: My only boy is three months old… so not too much hair at this point. Besides it might ruin the name of the blog! (*LOL* Cute “girls” hairstyles!) However, since you asked I will post of picture of the little dude too so he gets some air time!
Happy Hairdoing!

Q & A #1: Thick Hair and Rubber Bands
October 30, 2008
Question: My daughter has SUPER thick hair and I have a hard time finding a rubber band that will hold it all and keep it in…any suggestions???
I posed this same question to my dear friend Jenny before answering because her daughters literally have the thickest hair I have ever seen. This was both of our opinions….
Answer: We don’t have a specific brand we use (although Goody is good). I usually buy what I can find at Target or Walmart. HOWEVER, I always stretch and pull on the rubber bands before buying. There really is a difference between brands. Some have very little elasticity while others are super tight. I always buy the tightest ones I can find. Though they are harder to work with initially because they don’t have a lot of stretch, they hold the hair much better. Double up on rubber bands in one hair style to help as well. My poor rubber bands usually break into pieces by the time I am done with them! Hope that helps!
Happy Hairdoing!

October 17, 2008
Here’s one many of you may not know… but hair adapts to the conditioner and shampoo you use.
As your hair adapts, it will become harder and harder for your hair to get clean and smooth by using these products. Your hair will actually build up a resistance to the products you are using. A good way to prevent this from happening is to change shampoos and conditioners a couple times a year.
Every six months or so (or when an old bottle of product runs out) I just grab another cheap (remember I’m on a budget), but different brand of shampoo/conditioner and rotate that in. Often I find two brands I like and just go back and forth between them. This way your hair will always be its cleanest, shiniest, and healthiest all year round.
Happy Hairdoing!
