Little Beauty

I was lucky enough to have this little doll model for me. Check out those BLUE eyes! We are adding new boutique bows to the snapbandz.com all the time. We will also be adding the elastic headbands in both solid and chevron very soon. Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do!

3 Twists Side Pony

A lot of the time lately we have just been pulling Miss M's hair to the side and flipping it under. We love to add accessories from Snapbandz. This hairdo is a simple variation. Start by parting the hair on the side to the crown. Next make another part about an inch or so parallel to the first. With this section of hair you will make 3 rope braids. To make a rope braid, separate one section of hair into two pieces, twist both pieces the same direction separately and then twist them together the opposite direction. I have my daughter hold each rope as I do the next. Then part the hair from the crown to the ear, comb smooth and add a small elastic. You can do this step before you make the rope braids if it is easier. Add the 3 rope braids to the pony and secure again. I just used my pinky to flip the hair down through the pony. You can use a topsy tail or back of a rattail comb for this as well. I almost always flip Miss M's pony tails...I think it makes it lay nicer and look more polished. We added one of our adorable boutique bows on a skinny band from Snapbandz. If you haven't checked out the new boutique bows yet you really should! They can snap onto any of our headbands or onto one of our clips. www.snapbandz.com We have lots to choose from and are adding more all the time.

Braid on Pony Short Hairstyle

We are loving M's new short hair! There are still lots of things you can do with shorter hair. For this we started by parting the hair on the side but close to the center. We combed it to the side and parted from the crown of her head to her ear and added an elastic. We left the elastic a little loose so we could flip it under later. Next we went about an inch or so from the first part and made another. With this hair you will make a braid. It works best with damp or wet hair and I use a little hairspray as well. Comb the hair towards the ponytail and start a plain 3 strand braid. You can also do a twist. This is very similar to another hairdo we did when her hair was longer. Add the 3 strand braid to the pony with another small elastic and then flip under. You can use a "topsy tail" or something to flip it but I usually just use my pinky finger. ;) We used the straightener to curl the ends of her hair under a little. We finished off the look with a deep pink daisy from snapbandz.
