April Hair Carnival-Copy Cat

For this Copy Cat Hair Carnival I received Mainly Braids for inspiration. Knowing that she does alot of braided styles I'll admit I was little scared! I don't know how to cornrow or anything like that. But I found a cute style I thought I could do fairly quickly as she has MANY to choose from! I chose this Braid out with inverted ponytails style. I have done braidouts on myself before, but I haven't on Khari.  I started with spraying down and conditioning her hair. I almost forgot to do this and it was bed time so I did fairly big braids. Her hair is pretty fine so I had to use little ponytail holders on the ends to that they would just unravel. 

 I have never used a sleep cap with Khari because I just didn't think she would keep it on, but I thought having one on would help prevent the holders on the ends her hair from falling off as I put them in pretty loose. I was wrong, she loved wearing it so now I will be in the market for a cute childsize one just for her.

 The little inverted ponytail on the sides rubberband broke so I just left it out.

Back.

In the end I thought it looked really dry so I ended up pulling it into a low side ponytail for church.

                         
    
Next time I think I will try a different conditioner and a styling cream to help it from looking dry and I will do smaller braids. I do think other than the dryness it looked very cute, so I will be trying this again soon!

Check out the other ladies and their copy-cat styles from the hair carnival!

Monkey See, Monkey Do: Keyative Styles Pullthrough Headband

Keyative Styles mommy did this cute little pullthrough ponytail headband on her daughter Keyanna. I saw it yesterday and was like I have to try that on Khari. I only pulled through the middle 4 ponytails on Khari's hair because I was late for work, but I still think it is cute.

Knotty Hair Headband

Today I wanted to do try a hair headband on Khari. I don't know how to cornrow so I did four pull-throughs (or knots whatever you want to call them). I guess you could do the pull-throughs then connect them, but the way I did it I think it allowed for the pull-throughs to show better. (I tried the other way first, but I think this looks cuter.) I made the first part on the right side of her head then did a pull-through ponytail. I took the hair from that part and added it to the next section BEFORE I did the pull-through ponytail and repeated that process for the last two sections. I wanted to leave her bangs out because I thought it would look a little funky to include that front part in the headband as her front hairline is so thin, but they are longer than I thought and it looked even weirder out as they are so curly so I just attached them to the last part and attemted to clip them out of the way. (I'm sure this clip will be long gone by the time I get off work!) As you can see I'm not the best parter in the world and it's not getting any easier as she gets older because she fidgets even more! The highchair/food trick isn't really working anymore. I think the next time I do this I won't make the parts so long (going towards the back).
