Adorable little models...

My friend Kelly asked me to take some pics of her adorable new baby girl. I let her know that I needed a new model for Snapbandz and we had a deal. I also grabbed her other little girl and took a pic while I was there! Too cute. Some of the flowers aren't on the website yet...something to look forward to!

This is just a simple way to spice up a headband.


I started with wet hair and parted in on the side. I also parted the hair from the part down along her hair line as far back as I wanted the braid and added the rest of the hair to a pony in the back to keep it out of my way. I only did about an inch or two back so that I could add the headband when I was finished. Then I did an inside out french braid all the way down behind the ear. I did this on both sides and then connected the two pieces of hair with an elastic at the base of her neck. Then I added the headband. Super cute! This is a narrow khaki crochet headband with a brown gerb from snapbandz.com




Her hair was still wet in these pics. After it dried I used my flat iron and did a few curls and it looked adorable. The braid still looked good the next day so I untied the elastic at the base of her neck and made the braids go all the way down. Then I pulled her hair hair up in a pony tail and connected the two braids to it. I added a cute flower from Snapbandz and she was ready to go! Here's a picture from later that night.

Linked Headband

I LOVE this! I just started out with two rows of ponies. 5 in each row. I started with the center pigtail so that they would be somewhat even. You want the front row to go back as far as you want the headband to sit. You can kind of determine this by where her ears are in relation to the ponies. You want the headband just behind the ears. Once you have all 10 ponies done you add the headband and pull the front five ponies forward. There are a lot of ways you could do this but I just did links. I split the hair from the front 3 ponies. You just do it like you are tying a shoelace. Twist around once and add the elastic. Continue until all ponies are done. I made sure the snap on the headband was between two ponies so there would be room to snap the flower on. When I was all done I just snapped the flower on. This only took about ten minutes and I think it looks great! This would be way cute with curls also. The headband I used is a Aqua Nylon Headband from Snapbandz. The flower I will be adding later this week to Snapbandz.com.

Zig Zag Pony Braid Updo

For this one I just continued from the previous post and braided the hair from the ponies. I added them together with the rest of a hair in a large pony and made a messy bun. This one I added a Lavender Daisy Mum.

Zig Zag Ponies

This one was simple and easy. I just did a zig zag part to the crown and made two pony tails and flipped them under. This is topped off with two light green gerbera daisies from www.snapbandz.com

Headband with Side Pony

I thought I would come up with a couple new ways to wear our cute headbands from Snapbandz. For this one I just put her hair in a side ponytail and made a messy bun. Then I added the headband with the flower in front on the bun. I did a couple elastics in her hair to hold it all up because it isn't quite long enough yet without them. This would be cute with any style of side ponytail.

Using fake hair...that's right FAKE!

I bought one of those hair pieces one day at Sally's and thought I would try it out. I kind of LOVE it! It's the best thing to happen to a busy morning. In these pictures I just started by sectioning a "v" shape at the front of her hair and added an elastic. Then I did a bigger "v" and included the hair front the first and added another elastic. I did this 3 times and then just pulled all the hair up in a pony tail and made a bun. Then I added the hair. It is just like an elastic. I put it around the bun twice. You can add a couple of bobby pins to make sure it stays secure. You can see the bun pretty well in the pictures because her hair was still wet. When it dried it matched great! I topped it off with a Red Jeweled Daisy from snapbandz.com
