Our efforts to get out as many little “Shamrock” hairstyles this past St. Patrick’s Day was very well received!  Our site traffic during those few days leading up to the holiday was an all-time record for us!  I know I saw many of these styles just by dropping off my kids at school!

Accent Braid into Messy Bun | St Patrick’s Day Hairstyles

Friday, March 12th, 2010

This is a very simple hairdo that takes literally five minutes to do.  For St. Patrick’s Day I used a green ribbon in the braid, but you could use any color of ribbon for any occasion.   I show that there are a few ways to finish the style, one being into a soft side ponytail and the other is into a cute messy bun.

Items Needed: Spray Bottle, rat-tail comb, ribbon (any color), small elastic band, hair band, hairspray (if needed)
Time Requirement: 5 minutes

This hairdo is also subtle enough to be used on tweens, teens, and moms.  Please view the video below for the tutorial.  Enjoy!

I hope you all remembered to wear your GREEN today… and of course, your best clover hairstyles! I can only assume that there are tons of clovers walking around today because my traffic went through the roof last night! Really, I am flattered!

Look at what those naughty Leprechauns did at my house last night! They completely ransacked my kitchen!

Leprechaun Mess

To top it all off they hid the cereal bowls from the girls. Just look at this silly note they left for the girls…. is says, “We came, played, and hid your cereal bowls! Find them (and clean up)! Girls drool, Leprechauns Rule!”

Leprechaun Sign
I think the girls would have been really mad if those naughty little green Leprechauns hadn’t left some green candy with the hidden cereal bowls. Of course they didn’t leave gold since our Leprechaun traps didn’t catch them.

Usually traps stay at home, but this year the traps went to school for a school project. I hope the school had better luck then we did!
