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.

Every Other Day Do!

Wow! What a hiatus! But I'm back and hopefully I can get on track with posting more often! For now here are some pictures of one of our 'every other day' dos!
I just take a comb/brush and swoop some hair to the side the secure it with a clip. She takes it out about 500 times a day, but it's easy to just use my hand and swoop it back into place. I usually don't even part it.. Just SWOOP.

Daddy was making her laugh and all of a sudden she had to be so dramatic and cover her mouth lol.

My first Crochet Headband w/a Bow

I got really bored last night and decided I would make a crochet bow and headband (now I"m a BEGINNER at this so it's not the best). I followed a pattern I had copied from online a while back for the bow (not sure what the site is), but it was REALLY big so I tried again and made a smaller one.

Ignore the crap in the background that you probably wouldn't have noticed had I not brought attention to it.. oh well..



The back is just tied off. I made it longer so it can fit when she's older. It even fit on my head!



Looking at this I need to tighten the middle around the smaller one.

TK wanted me to take a picture of his hand to post on here? Silly kid..

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).
