Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

We had posted this Valentine’s Day hairstyle two years ago, but in photo format. Many have requested that this be shown as a video tutorial, so here you go! It also helps for me to be using an updated camera as well!

There are actually two ways to finish this heart hairstyle, one by using twists as I have done (better for older girls) and the other in braids (popular with little girls). Both are equally cute and provide just a little bit different of a look.

Hanging Heart | Valentine’s Day Hairstyles

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

We posted this heart hairstyle two years ago in photo tutorial format, but we never filmed a video for it. This is such a simple fun style for girls of all ages, that we wanted to be sure to upload it before Valentine’s Day this year.

The options here are endless, as I hope to show in a few more videos later this week, but on this specific hair style you may opt to microbraid the two heart strands. I left them as twists, because they seem less “kid-ish” that way.

Also, I believe this heart hairstyle looks fantastic on straight or curly hair. In the previous photo tutorial, my daughter’s hair was straight. In this video tutorial, I added volume to her hair via the subtle curls left over from our Double French Braids style (we call this using a previous day’s style to create another… a “Second-Day ‘Do“).

The shape of the heart and whether the tail is longer or shorter, can be adjusted in any way you want (teens tend to want thinner strands and longer tails). You could even buy the colored hair spray and color the strand pink, if you wanted, for Valentine’s Day!

Items Needed: Rat-tail comb, Topsy Tail Tool, pomade, two clear elastic bands, and ribbon (if desired).

Time Requirement: Under 5 minutes.

Happy Hairdoing!

Your Valentine’s Day Hairstyles!

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

As promised, I am posting the photos you all provided of your little cuties’ hairstyles on Valentine’s Day. It was very clear which hairstyle was everyone’s favorite!

The photos provided below are from the following amazing moms: Alissa, Carie, Cathy, Karalee, Laila, Leah, Lisa, Lynelle, Marie, Misty, Rachel, Shawn, Shelley, Violet, Isabel, Jodie, Katie, Kelly, Manda, Marilin, and Melinda. A big, wonderful “thanks” to these ladies and those little cuties! (If anyone else has a photo of their heart hairstyle, feel free to email it to me or post it to our Facebook Page.)

There was such a good response on these hearts, that I think we should do it also for St. Patrick’s Day! Be sure to take a look at our St. Patrick’s Day Hairstyles from last year and practice them up! We received tons of comments on them from everyone!

Happy Hairdoing!
