Monkey See, Monkey Do! GoldilocksnMe (Sidewinders)

I saw this 3 braid style done using sidewinders over at Goldilocks*n*Me, but hey I don't have any so I improvised. Like the mother over the there (not sure if she wants her name or initial shared as I couldn't find it on her blog) I did the 3 braids then connected them at the ends. I just used a clip to hold them down and I left Khari's hair out in a Wash N Go instead of a braid like she did. So... Ta-Da...

Hair Carnival: Halloween!!!

My son wanted to be an elephant for Halloween this year. We went to the circus so I got this bright idea to be a circus family. I would be the ringmaster, TK the elephant, Khari a clown (I originally wanted to do this when she was a bit older), and Dev would be the strong man. In the end I never ended up making my costume so I just went as the over tired mother haha. I didn't do anything special to Khari's hair other than spraying it purple and glittery and clip the hat I made to her hair.

Without the cheeks

I did not like this wig. It was HORRIBLE.

Monkey See, Monkey Do! GoldilocksnMe (A Little Bit of this)

There aren't very many toddler blog styles for me to copy so I figured I would take a style from my favorite hair blog and modify it to fit my teeny tiny baby head of hair. I saw this style on Goldilocks*n*Me and I copied the top half.



The top

 I made two sections instead of three and I took all the hair from the right side of her hair instead of just the middle because I thought it looked better on her short hair. I did two ponytails then connected them as Khari is a mover and a shaker and wouldn't sit still (hence the not so straight parts and not so slilck hair). I twisted the first ponytail before I connected it. I was going to twist or braid the second one as well, but it just curled right up so I took it out and just added a clip so I would lay a bit flatter.



The back

I just left the back out in a 'wash' and go. I thought it looked pretty cute and I can't wait until Khari's hair gets long enough to add the slide braid to this style!

Criss-Cross Piggies

Just looking at her little fro it doesn't look like Khari's hair is very long or growing much besides getting thicker. But when I pull it straight it is alot longer than most girls her age. This morning I threw together a quick style for her (I've been sick and I feel like I abandoned her poor little hair). I parted her hair down the middle to just do pigtails, but then I decided to switch it up. I did two little piggies in the very front of her head then four behind those. I then split the front to piggies in half and took one half over to the edge piggies in the back. Then I took the other half and criss-crossed it over to the middle piggy on the opposite side. Left piggy when to right middle piggy and vice-versa.

This picture is pretty dark and I'm at work so I can't edit the lighting or anything.

Another top view

Try to ignore the cereal and brushing of the teeth. It's the only way I can get her to sit still long enough to do anything. Haha

Quick Chain Pigtails

Once again we have a quick style I did before rushing out of the door. I did this the other day before we went to the zoo. It was getting late and we wanted to have at least 2 hours there. The top two parts were pretty even but after that things went south and the parts are pretty jagged. I was going to just do the two linked/chain pigtails up front, but then I decided to see if her back was long enought to attach as well. They BARELY made it. I think this would be a really cute hair style if her pigtails were longer and thicker. I think I'll try it again in a year.

Three Little Piggys

This was done during our family reunion on a Utah holiday July 24th. We pretty much get to have 2 Fourth of July's in one month! The first picture was for the first half of the day and the parade. I just did three piggys on top and added a bow.
The second picture was at a baseball game where we wore our family reunion shirts. She had just taken a nap and her front piggy was looking a little rough so I just clipped it back to the left piggy with a hairbow.

Accidental Sun/Starburst Ponytails

This is a style I randomly decided to do 10 mins before I had to leave for work a few weeks ago. I parted to squares in the back (not shown) then I just did a bunch of triangle on her head. I wasn't aiming for a sunburst type pattern, but that's what I ended up with.
I parted to sqaures on the back of her head (not shown), then I just did a bunch of triangle on her head. I parted the right side to the middle of her head and behind her ear then I did the same on the left. That left a triangle in the middle so I banded that one up. I then did the same in the front. The top middle ponytail was going to be split in two, but I didn't have time and I now I might like it this way better anyways. I lasted pretty well during the day considering my daughter is a wild sleeper and takes 2 naps a day and also likes to throw fits on the floor whenever she doesn't get her way. :-P I didn't take any before bed shots, but I will make sure to do that from now on.
