I hope you all had an amazing and relaxing fourth of July! We had SO much fun! It just happens to be one of my very favorite holidays! We didn't really do much in the world of hair though!

I wasn't really sure what to name this...so this is the name I came up with. This was a super easy hair-do and even my husband said he liked it. Which normally I have to sit and hound him and say "Don't you think her hair looks cute? It turned out So cute huh?" I swear he wouldn't even care if I didn't even brush it! Is my husband the only one like this?

I started with a zig-zag part down the middle.

Next I made a small ponytail from the part down to the back of her ear on each side.

Then I used the remaining hair and made pigtails on the bottom.

Using the top ponytails I made 2 braids in each and hooked them to the piggy tail underneath it.

Braid 4 braids in each piggy tail and hook them together with an elastic at the bottom.

Next I added 2 more elastics in the middle of the braids. Before adding the elastics I kinda poofed them out into a ball shape and then added the elastic so they would stay in this shape.

Very rarely do we not add any accessories, but she didn't want any in. She thought they would distract from her new earrings she got at the carnival! LOL How funny is that!?!?

I love this picture! It's my sweet little model!

Flag Flare~Version 2!!!

So I thought of this when I did this last post with the beads. Sorry if the instructions seem short and to the point, but I really didn't have much time this morning:)

This picture really does not do this hair-do justice. We both loved it. Actually she usually likes these funkier ones better.

I started with a small ponytail up front on both sides. Then I did a pull-through knot in each one.

Then I hooked it into another ponytail underneath.

Do a pull through knot in the bottom 2 so it looks like this.

I made this with pipe cleaner and some beads. I made it the night before so the hair-do would be a quick one. This is definitely the fastest of all the fourth of July hair-dos so far. It only took about 10 minutes to make the flag and ten minutes the morning we actually did her hair. I just made the pattern to fit her head.

I twisted the pipe cleaner around itself to keep the beads in place. When I was done with the beads I cut off all the middle section of pipe cleaner so it was just the pieces i needed to wrap around the ponytails.

Slide the pipe cleaner under the pull troughs and twist around the ponytail until its secure.

Do this same thing on both sides.

Curl the hair under and that's it!!!!
