Braids Part 2: Lace Braids.

Braids Part 2: The Lace Braid

The Lace-Braid is the French-Braid

one sided it looks like this.

In this picture it is very tight where I started

and gets looser as it comes down into a

pony-tail. This style is my favorite for my bangs.

Start with the normal 3 pieces,

braid down the first few crosses just normal
and add hair to the strand of the braid
that is "the top"then braid down until your back
to "the top" and add hair to it
again it won't be the same piece, it's not supposed to be.

Then finish it off ta-da!

I tried to make a video for this style, but... eh my sister isn't the greatest camera man. We'll work on that. :)

Braids Part 1: The Basic Braid.

Braids Part 1:

Basic-Braid.

I have decided to show how to do some

of the most popular braids out there,

starting with the basic braid.

I don't think a video is necessary braid

because most people already

know how BUT, I thought I would show

you how my mom (HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!)

taught this braid to me when I was 6.

She was teaching me how to braid

because to make a friendship bracelet.

She said 3 friends were having

their picture taken and were fighting

about who went in the middle, and so they kept moving around so they could be in the middle.

And then pulling the pieces tight,

my bracelet ended looking something like this:

There are tons of ways to use the basic braid

not only as the grounds for French-Braiding

but it is a good second-day style and is REALLY easy.

I like to use braids to dress-up other braids.

And to use as head bands by hooking

over my head with Bobby-Pins.

More to come watch for Part 2: The Lace-Braid. :)

A post for short hair.

It's been a while but that's okay :)

my mom has long hair,

I have long hair

and my sister has long hair.

It's been a while since any of us have had short hair.

So playing with short hair doesn't happen.

a few weeks back I got my hands on some shorter hair

and this is what happened :)

A cute high bun and flat iron flip out

something I would do to myself if my hair weren't so long

and....

baby french braids (her favorite part was the ribbons)
so if anyone would like
to volunteer their own head for something cute
I would be flattered! :D

Inspired by Pinterest.

Have you ever seen this before?

I have seen it on Facebook and Pinterest

and last night I wanted it done,

This is how it turned out!

My mom used clips to section off the hair

then she did a plain old boring basket weave.

(I wish my hair really did look that red!) :D

Tangles

A few days ago I went swimming with some crazy braids in my hair. HORRIBLE move! (just FYI) I'm lucky I have a patient mama that helped me get some of it out so I could condition it to get it out BEFORE I washed it. My hair is fine and none of it had to be cut out. (thank goodness!) what do you guys do about tangles?
BTW Aussie 3-minute-miracle, works miracles.

Just for fun!

I Had seen this done before and I thought it would be super fun.

So last spring I had my aunt do it to me and my cousin

while we were at McDonald's

We decided to challenge ourselves we were joined at the
back of the head by 2 braids

we went into the McDonald's playland (even though we're a little big for that)

it wasn't quite as fun after tumbling down the slide together.

I think it would be fun to do at girls camp!

I got my sister to do it with me today while i was thinking about it.
We asked our mom to take the picture she quickly snapped it then said
"You can't see her braid"
She hadn't figured it out yet!
Just for fun!
