The long hair princess do!

This one is not so simple at first, but once you get the hang of it, it will take you no time at all. The best hint I can give on this one is to have your daughters head completely wet when attempting this do!

First, start by parting the hair from one side of her hair to the other on the back side of the ears. then part that section down the middle.

Take each section and braid with a simple braid and band off. The best place to put this braid is at the bottom and back of the section.

Pull the two braids together in the back of the head. It is important to make sure the remainder of the hair is smoothed down.

Here is where the look comes in! Start by taking little sections of hair right below the start of the braid twist it and then wrap it around the braid once. Then, take that section of hair and add it to the next small section of hair twist and wrap it around the braid. Do this until you get to the place where the two braids meet and secure.

This is what one side looks likes. Now do the same with the other side!

Here is the finished product.  We finished it of with just a fun band.

Epic Fail Re-Do!

You guys may remember one of my post called Epic Fail. Well when you have a three year old they do not drop anything! So she really wanted the Cinderella hair do and well I am a sucker! Here is where we tried again!

We started by just a little pony tail on top of her head to secure her lose ends.

Next, we put the rest of her hair in a pony tail on the back of her head. (that is the step I missed the first time!) Then, we made a loop at the end of her pony tail and secured it with a band. We then slipped a 1" ribbon through the loop.

Next, just start rolling the ribbon and loop of hair up to the top of her head. It may not be pretty at this point, but trust me it will be in the end!

Once you reach the top of her head take the two ends of the ribbon and tie them in a knot. This will make a bun on her head.

Secure the bun to her head with Bobbie pins.

This is our final product. It is a lot better than the first time! You can also take a matching piece of ribbon and tie it around the front of her head to look more like Cinderella. Good luck and remember to always follow the directions and don't learn the hard way with a mad three year old!

Epic Fail!

Well my little princess and I found on another site how to do a Cinderella hair do. It looked really easy and the blogger said it was easy too. So we decided to give it a try.

She said to start with a half pony on top of the head. This worked for us since we do a lot of these anyway. (We are in the process of growing out her bangs so other way we would have hair going every where!)

Then you were to gather all of the hair and slide your hand to the bottom. (I was still doing good at this part!)

Then you were to take at least 1" ribbon and place over hair then flip hair and secure with a band. This is what happened when did. She said it would look messy but to just go on that part would be hidden. I went on, but it was so bad I did not take pictures! You were suppose to roll it up and then tie the ribbon and secure to head with bobby pins. It was so low on her head and looked horrible. it was a FAILURE!!!!

This is what we ended with. Not great, but trust me better than what we had. (I must say though, her daddy did her hair yesterday and it looked much better than this! Her used lots of clips and I was proud of him.) Oh well live and learn! Another day another hair do! I will try again some day but I am not holding my breath.
