Summer Do...Stays in Great!

This hair-do is perfect for summer! It stays in soooo nicely! These pictures were taken the night of the second day I had it in! I jumped on the trampoline and played in the pool with it! I absolutely loved it, and its pretty self explainatory!

Ponies into side ponytail....real cute!

Ponies into side pony!
Skills needed: putting in ponytails, tying bows

This one is really cute! I think I got it from babes in hairland...but if not please correct me. Anyway this is one of my favorite Hair-dos!!!
This is the first step, part the hair on the side and put in a ponytail. Then pull the rest of the hair back into another ponytail.
Then, put another ponytail on the other side of the part and then ponytail both side together without pulling in any new hair.
Then pull mostly all the rest of the hair into a ponytail with and the one from up top...this is really hard to explain so just look at the picture for this one.
Then pull it all into one side pony.
Add a cute bow.

7 into 2 into 1

7 into 2 into 1
Skills needed; Nothing really:)

this is one that I did to myself one morning when my mom was busy! So I hope you enjoy!
Start with 7 across the top of the head. You can use elastics, they look better, but those break my hair A LOT, so I never use them.
Then, pull 4 from the one side together, then the three from the other side, and be sure to pull hair up from underneath too.
Then I put ponytails all the way down just to add a little extra, but if you don't like this you could always just pull it up or into a little bun. Then, of course, add some curls because no hair-do can be complete without curls:)

Maze and Braid

Maze and Braid
Skills needed: Putting in elastics, french braiding


At my house we call this the maze, Pretty self explanatory!

We went ahead and French braided all the way down with the extra hair!

Half a Peace Sign

Half a Peace Sign
Skills Needed:parting, putting in elastics


This one I call Half a Peace Sign because It is a peace sign without the bottom,
This is how you start with the 1 section higher up, then the other 2 a little farther back!
Split the 2 farther back into 2. then pull the one in the middle down into another elastic.
Split the one in the middle into 2. Then pull the ones on the sides into the pigtails.
This is how it ended up. and of course, we added the bows!
This is the side view to show how to pull the front ones into the pigtail!

Elastic Headband... Variation 2

Elastic headband variation 2
Skills Needed: Putting in Elastics


For this one instead of the normal one (look above) we pulled up one random pony in between them. Then we just pulled it all into a half ponytail, so below are step by step instructions!
This is the first part. We parted it on the side and went all the way down, we used about 4 elastics on this side.
Then on the other side of the part, we used 2 elastics going down.
Again, this is how it will end up looking. We went out today and I got several complements on it:)

Elastic Headband

Elastic Headband Variation 1
Skills needed: Putting in elastics


This is my cousin Natalie. While I was visiting them I of course did her hair:)
Front view:

This is how the top looks. We just did a simple strip across.
Then we did a blue strip behind the yellow. We just did this to tie it behind!
This is how we tied it underneath her hair!

This just shows how when she put her hair down, you cannot even see the tie! Also once her hair was down, you couldn't see the blue strip either, so it looked like the yellow just disappears under her hair!

2 into 1


2 into 1
Skills Needed:Parting triangles, putting in elastics

I got this one off of Princess hairstyles, but we made our triangles a little bigger, and ended it in a normal ponytail.
This is how we started. We did 5 little triangular sections.
Then you split each of them in half and braid, or twist, them together!
Then pull all of those into a ponytail, and add some bows!

Slanted Ponytails

Slanted Ponytails
Skills Needed: Putting in ponytails, parts
O.K, so I am finally done with my project, so i should be posting a little bit more often now. It was my birthday this weekend, so I was at my party and really had free time until now! So here you go, I hope you like this hair-do.....(Just F.Y.I I did this to myself and made it up myself....I was very proud.)
This is how you start, with a part on the side, and put 3 ponytails along the part.
Pull the one farthest back down about 1 inch.
Pull the second one down about 2 inches, so double whatever the first one is.
Then, the one closest to the forehead, bring down about to the ear.
Pull those three ends into a braid.
The, on the other side, make a 2 elastic puff braid.
Then pull everything into a ponytail.

Circle....kinda


Circle....Kinda
Skills needed: putting in ponytails, parting

This picture was taken at the end of the day, so sorry that it looks so messy, but at least you have the idea, right? well even if not, im still going to post it!
So, this is how you start, by putting one ponytail on the top of your head. Then split it in half.
Then pull it down and pull it into 2 ponytails. Take those 2 ponytails straight down, and ponytail them again!
Then, pull it into a low ponytail. This to me kinda looks like a circle, if you made the ponytail a little higher i think it would look more like a circle. And again, this was at the end of the day, after I had, had it in all day, so don't mind the wispy s.
