Superbowl Pigtails

Superbowl Pigtails

The first thing I did for this hairstyle was part her hair down the middle, and put each side into a clip.

I took one side out of the clip, and took a small section in the front and put it into the pink elastic. I took a little bit of hair from the other side of her head to add to this section of hair. I then sectioned off the front third of the section and put that as well as the bang section into one elastic. (This is the first time I've used the super strength clear elastics, and they are not as strong as the brown and multicolored ones. I ended up wrapping them too many times, and several of them broke.) I then used the pony tail tool to make this clear pony tail inside out, but apparently forgot to take a picture of that. 

On the back of her head, I then sectioned off another third of her hair from the same side that was working on in the last picture. I put the middle section of her hair into a clip. With the bottom section, I put it into an elastic and turned it inside out, with the hair coming out up towards the top of her head. 

I took the front, middle, and back sections into one elastic. 

I then did the same steps on the right side of her hair. This is the completed view of the back of her hair. 

I put R&B and mousse into her curls, and then clipped a bow into each pony tail. 

 We aren't huge football fans, so she wore a cute OU Sooners jersey that her grandpa got her, and a tutu of course.

Half Up Inside Out Pony Tails

Half Up Inside Out Pony Tails

The first thing I did for this hairstyle was separate her hair into two sections. I made them both about the same size, parting her hair from one ear to the other and put each section into a clip. 

Then I took the front section out of the clip, and parted that down the middle.

 I put one of those sides into a clip. With the other half, I then took a third of the front of that section and put it into an elastic. 

I don't pull the elastic too tight because I used the inside out pony tail thing. So for this, I used the smallest one I have, and put it right through the middle of the side of her hair that is secured into the elastic, going from front to back. 

I then put the hair that is on the other side of the elastic into the loop, and then pull the opposite side, so the loop goes through the part that is secured in the elastic. 

I then took another third of the hair from that side, and added the front section to it. Put that all in one elastic. 

On the other side of her head I repeated those same steps.

I wanted to put one big bow in her hair, and when I put bows in her hair I like them to be clipped into a pony tail because they won't fall out. So I took the last third of the sections I parted and put them together. I parted them into a triangle shape. (The point of the triangle is pointing down towards her neck.)

I took that triangle section, and added the loose hair from the earlier two pony tails, and secured it all in one elastic. 

I put R&B, and mousse in all of her loose hair, and then put her bow in once I was done getting her curls looking the way I wanted, and finished with a little bit of hairspray.

How It All Started

Almost two years ago, my daughter MaKyra was born. She was born with a lot of thick, straight, dark hair.

I was so excited thinking of all of the cute hairdo's I could do. When he hair was wet, there was a curl to it, but it would always dry straight. When she was about six months old, it stopped drying straight. I have really straight hair, and was scared to embrace he curls, and her hair looked crazy. One day my sister put mousse in her hair, and it looked so cute and from that day on, I have been looking for cute hairstyles, and hair care for her. 

The first time she had mousse in her hair

She is mixed with black and white, and has really tight curls, and I have had a really hard time finding things that will work for her hair type. So that is the purpose of me starting this blog. To put the information out there of what has worked for us, and what hairstyles turn out well (because a lot that look super cute in straight hair, just don't look as great in curly hair), in case anyone is looking for advice for curly hair like I was!
