Try, Try Again...and Succeed!

Alright, everyone! Today is a Saturday which means that BYU plays. In fact, they play UCLA...one of the hardest games of the season. So, to show our Cougar Pride, we dolled up all the kids and decked them out in Cougar attire. I have been wanting to try these hairstyles I have seen on another blog, so here goes!

Top Twist (as seen here)


I have liked this hairstyle afor a long time but hadn't tried it. Today, Marianne asked if she could have curly hair (with the curling iron), but I wanted to keep her hair out of her face. Gotta save the face paint, right? So, I tried it and LOVED it! Super simple and very cute!

Twist Braid


Okay, so I have seen these twist braids all over the place and have tried to no avail to get them to work for my girls' hair. But, just the other day the sweet mom at "The Story of a Princess and Her Hair" did a video tutorial and that did it! I tried it this morning on Alli and it worked! Woohoo! Thank you! Thank You!! Thank You!!!

Some Real KNOTty Hair!

So, I have been stealing WAY to many ideas lately, so I thought I would try to come up with something on my own. So, here's my latest attempt. Now, I have no way of knowing what's already out there (save it be searching for hours on the internet for said hairdos) so if you've seen it, let me know and I'll be sure to give them some props!

KNOTty Pigs to Messy Buns



This one was pretty simple. I just started with two little piggies in the front. Then, I separated those into two pieces and tied them together a bunch of times. Then, I had Marianne hold it while I pulled up the hair for the bun. Then, I added the line of knots and finished it up.

KNOTty Buns




Another simple one. Just pull up two ponies and separate them into two sections and tie knots to the end. Then, I secured the knotted pony with a tiny elastic. Then I did this to make it a bun. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Top French Twist to Messy Buns

I saw this and wondered what it would look like to take it into two messy buns. I have to say that I thought it turned out beautifully! I just parted out a square and french twisted it. I had her hair laying forward so that the twist rolled to the back (does that make sense?). Then, I just finished the twist off with a small elastic and took the end of it into the messy bun on the right. Sweet and simple.
