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.

Monkey See, Monkey Do! Princess Hairstyles(picture day)

Why hellloooo there! Somebody? Anybody? Ah well I'll write to myself I guess. :-)
I saw this hair style at Princess Hairstyles.com and I thought it was so cute! But. I don't know how to cornrow or lace so I did my own thing. In stead of cornrowing her hair I just kind of twisted it. I say kind of because this girl would NOT hold still so they look kinda bunk. I also couldn't pull up the pic on my nook this morning and I was in a rush so I tried to do it from memory. I didn't realized she didn't connect all three parts until just now. Oh well. Here it is! As you can probably tell, we do hair at breakfast time.

She was so excited when she saw this bow I made! She kept putting it next to her shirt and smiling.

Oh how I love these curls.

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...

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!
