Month o' Hair, Week #2

Katelee and I are still having lots of fun continuing on our quest of coming up with different hairstyles for each day of this month! We had fun this week trying new styles. Most of them turned out really cute. I've continued to get inspiration from the blogs mentioned previously, as well as a new blog recommended to me called Babes in Hairland. Happy hairstyling!

Day 14

Today was the first time I really experimented with 'corkscrew' braids. They are so easy to do, but I think they look really cool. I parted her hair down the middle on top and did one corkscrew braid on each side going back into a pony tail. I split the ponytail hair in half and did two separate corkscrew braids (one with each half) and then twisted the two braids around each other and secured at the end. I wrapped the two side braids from above around the ponytail and secured in the rubberband. I really loved how this hairstyle turned out. Tutorial here.

Day 13

Three braids into one big braid. Part the hair on the side. On the larger side, split the hair into two pieces and french braid each piece down the side of her head. Do the same, with only one braid, on the smaller side of the part. Bring all three braids back on the side, so that one braid wraps around the head, and braid the three braids together and fasten off. I like the waves still left over from yesterday's "crimped" hair, too.

Day 12

Braids into "crimped" hair.

Katelee chose this hairstyle. She likes her crazy crimped hair when I take it out of the hairstyles each night. So we decided to do it for real! After her shower, while her hair was still wet, we braided it into a bunch of little bitty braids that she slept on. The next morning, we carefully took out each braid, curled the ends, and added a headband. Ta da!

Day 11

Vertical twists into double messy bun.

I split Katelee's hair into five parts going back from her forehead all the way down to her neck. I twisted each section of hair back halfway and then secured the bottom half (untwisted) to the top (twisted) half with a rubberband. I gathered all the ponytails into a big double messy bun.

Day 10

Crisscross ponytails

This was the first day of our vacation, and I knew I needed something that would withstand the zoo and swimming. I like this hairstyle because it's fast and easy, but gets lots of compliments. Part the hair in the middle and secure on top with two ponytails. Continue down to make another ponytail in the middle, only take a section of each ponytail and cross it over into the other side's rubberband, etc. Cute!

Day 9

Flower Bun

This is the bun where you separate the hair into five sections and roll each section up and secure with a bobbypin. I think Katelee looks DARLING with this hairstyle. Tutorial here.

Day 8

Waterfall braids

I've seen waterfall braids on a lot of blogs, and think they look gorgeous! They are HARD to do, though, harder than they look. Not that the technique is that tricky, but I can't figure out how to keep them in place. It's such a loose hairstyle. This is definitely not a hairdo for a busy day. (When do we NOT have a busy day?) Luckily, they stayed in Katelee's hair during her preschool program, though they were completely destroyed by about 11 a.m. :) Tutorial here.
