I really love a cute side swept hair style. I have seen this hair style on a lot of celebs and red carpets lately and I liked it. But I wanted to make it kid friendly. I knew with all the running around and fidgeting they do, these curls would never stay over to the side. So I devised a way to keep it over there. Here is what I came up with: It was pretty easy to do and looks great on adults too. But you need to watch the retro curls video first. I used that curling … [Read more...]
I love doing curled hairstyles. On myself and my girls. It makes them seem more precious to me. This style is great for a fancier occasion. I usually don't do curls just for school. They are more time consuming and then kids run around at recess and all your hard work is down the drain. I like to put my kids hair up for school. It helps with the snarles. But then my girls play hard at recess. I will probably do curls more once they hit Junior high. These curls are pretty … [Read more...]

This is one of my favorite styles. I always get so many compliments whenever we do this. And it is so easy!! I have had this tutorial sitting in my files for over a year now. The pics I had taken originally were lost so I didn't post it. And then my girls both cut their hair. So I was waiting for it to grow out a little bit so I could do this style on them. If you notice a difference between the final style photos and the video tutorial, that would be why. When they had … [Read more...]

My girls recently had crazy hair day at school. We decided we wanted to try out a temporary color on their hair. By temporary I mean it washed out the next day in their first bath. It came out easily with a regular shampoo. I think it was quite cute. You'll never guess what we used. My oldest daughter "Love" is NOT a girly girl. She likes to be a tomboy. So we did more urban colors on her hair. This picture is the morning after. She slept like normal and didn't get any … [Read more...]
Today I am excited to show you one of my favorite hair dos. I do this on my girls all the time {or at least I did before they both chopped their hair} and I always get stopped by people. This one everyone seems to love. I call it the Flower bun with weaved ribbon. It's very easy to do and super cute. You'll want to start out with slightly damp hair. I just sprayed it using my leave in conditioner. Click on the video below for the tutorial. Thanks for reading!! … [Read more...]
I kind of love this look. I wish it wasn’t quite so “trendy” but I love the feathers in the hair look. It’s kind of quirky and off the beaten path. So the other day I found an awesome deal for feathers and went for it. I didn’t really love the feathers I got but you can still see how to place them. I’ve heard you can find good feathers in the tackle area of sporting goods stores. I’ve never actually looked myself, but let me know if you do. If you buy a feathers … [Read more...]
