Three day weekend-do # 3

Okay so this is the third day I have left her hair in! I normally do not EVER leave it in this long and I made her shower that night. But we were busy doing stuff that weekend...so I let it go. I did hate washing her 3 day hair sprayed hair!!!

This is leftover from this hair-do (day 1) then this hair-do (day 2) Now this is day 3 of using the same base for the do's!

Check out this hair-do for the instructions to the first half.

Then I made the 2 twists in the bottom 2 sections and pulled it all back into 1 ponytail.

I curled it under and that was that! I hate when I forget to take a front view....but what do ya do?

Giveaway Winners and Double Weaved X Twists

So I guess we'll start with the giveaway winners!!! Thanks to anyone who participated or helped spread the word. I will be starting part 2 of my summer giveaway sometime in the next week, so make sure to come back and check it out!

The winner of the $25 Gift card goes to.....(drumroll)...#6 The Lines Family!
You did not leave any contact info. Please e-mail me with an address to send the gift card. (you have until Wednesday on June 10th 11:59pm otherwise I will draw a new winner).

I had several people post about my giveaway but only 1 person say who sent them. So the $10 gift card goes to...Meeghan @ Hairreactions.blogspot.com. Thanks for posting about my giveaway. Now onto the hair!

This is day 2 of the last hair-do I had posted. She had actually slept in it and we just took out the elastics holding the x's in place.

We left in the original 6 ponytails (see here). I took a small comb and sprayed the sections and combed the frizzy parts down smooth.

Next I took one of the front ponytails and put 2 twists in it securing them with elastics. Repeat on the other side.

Take the 2 twists on the left side and cross them over and secure them to second ponytail on the right side.

Take the first twist and weave it under and then over the 2 secured twists.

Do the same thing with the second twist. But this time weave them opposite of the first twist. So you will go over and then under.

Now secure those twists the same as you did the first 2. Take out the remaining twists from the new sections. It should look like this.

Repeat the same thing with the bottom section.

When I got to the bottom ponytails I only did 1 twist on each side. Secure each with an elastic.

Next I tied them in a regular knot by wrapping one twist around the other.

Then I secured it with an elastic.

Now it is time for some hair bling, or whatever sort of accessories you want to add. She wanted something fancy because it was memorial day and we were going to put flowers on Grandma's grave.

Last but not least..after that very long post...the Front view

My first post, a twisted style, and Happy Mother's day to me!!!

Honestly, I have wanted to start a blog for a while now. I never thought it was going to happen. I always seemed to have an excuse. I don't know how to start a blog... my camera sucks...I don't know enough about the computer.

Well enough's enough! About a week ago I went to my husband and insisted that I get a nice camera for Mother's day. So between another hair blogger and my awesome neighbor Lizz, I was able to pick the camera that was right for me. I Love it! Happy Mother's Day to me! Now I just need to learn how to use it. Not to mention learn how to do this whole blogging thing. So I will stick to the basics for now.

First I parted a small section down to the front of her ear on each side. Then I did them into corkscrew twists. I fastened each with a barrette. (My directions are kinda lame cause i can't figure out how to upload all 9 of the pictures. I could only get it to do 4! AAGGHH! Maybe with time I will figure it out)!

Second I parted out two more twists on each side I did a twist in the next one and added it to the first using it as one of the strands. I continued to do this with the next one and also with the ones on the other side.

When I got them all connected, I hooked them in the back with a clear elastic. Then topped it off with some Hair Bling.

This last picture is the finished product from the front. Isn't she gorgeous? How did we ever live without our beautiful Children? Really? What did we do for fun then?
