Flipped Braid Bun

Hi Guys,  Things have been a little rough in our household with lots of us down sick :(  We still had time to put this little number together for you this week.  It's been so cute and we've gotten heaps of comments. You'll need your ponytail flipping tool for this one. If you don't have one, don't forget we have a video of how to make your own using items around your home.  Check it out and let us know what you think and send us your variations.

Have fun with this one...If you enjoyed this hairstyle tutorial, please feel free to share it with your friends.. the more we get the word out the more hairstyle fun we can have :-)

Slide Up Braid - 4 Strand

This is a great little hairdo you are just going to love. So simple and easy, but really effective and cute.  We are doing more and more pullbacks, so we mostly wear this hairdo in the long "out" version, but we've also done a side pony version for you which we think is really cute.  Check it out and let us know what you think. Which one do you like best - long and out, or on the side in a pony?? Let us know and have fun with this one :-)

Twisted Pullback

As my Big Rapunzel is growing up, she's looking less and less for little girl looks, and more and more for big girl looks, and she really loves pullbacks.  They're perfect for keeping the hair out the face, but still let her show her length off.  This week we settled a few times for this braided twist pull back and I was surprised how quick and easy it was, yet it stayed neat (much to her disgust) all day long.  This photo was actually taken at the end of the day, as we forgot in the morning.  There's a few fly aways (that's how she likes it) but I think you'll agree, it kept together really nicely.  When I do this one on Little Rapunzel, we wet the hair first and give it a little spray with hairspray afterwards, it stays super slick and neat all day.  Try whichever way you prefer, but have fun with this one :-)

Triple Waterfall Braid

We've been having a great time on our holidays how about you?  Lots of people think we must have our hair done perfectly all the time, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Sure we have lots of cool hair days, but these holidays we mostly just brushed it in the morning and flew out the door :-)  Unless it's a special occasion, I also really stick to my 5 minute rule. If it can't be done in
under 5 minutes I don't want to do it - life is too short to be spent getting ready.

This week's tutorial is smack on 5 minutes for us - so it cuts it a bit fine. You might like to allow a couple more minutes when you first do it.  It builds on the waterfall braid from our last tutorial but is well worth the effort for something a little bit different and glam.  We wore it to a party we were going to and got HEAPS of comments. As our tutorial says, we got this idea from a facebook page we visit called Rock Your Locks.  They have beauty & fashion tips and heaps of cool hairdo's from sources all over and so when we saw this one, we simply couldn't wait to try it for ourselves and share a tutorial with you.  Check out the video below and see...

Waterfall Braid Double

Hi guys, we've been at it again, this time with waterfall braids. My girls really like the full head version, but I know how much you freak out when I try to get you to do these tricky ones - so I've worked out the simplest or cheaters way to achieve the all round look - is to do a double version - so today's video will show you how to do just that.  I've broken it down step by step to make it really easy for you - so you'll love the simplicity and for those that have liked the idea of the waterfall braid, but been too scardy to try, I've made it so simple - you'll be a pro in no time flat.  Check out the video below and have fun with this one :-)

Mini French Ladder Braid

It's been so busy at the Rapunzel's house lately that we've been focusing on simple but cute hairdo's. The Mini French Ladder Braid is perfect for those times when you want a special look - without the fuss!  We did this hairstyle in about 3 minutes from beginning to end and it works really nicely for just about any hair length.  It is a lot like the Long Loose Braid but with micro braiding. As we mention in the video you can just do a small section at the top - or you can go right down like we have here.  Be sure to try both ways and let us know what you think. Leave us a comment or send in your pictures, but have fun with this one :-)

Underneath Braid

We love one sided braids and we just love this new look. The underneath braid utilizes the one sided, inside out braid (gosh - that was a mouthful), or "dutch lace braid" - and it sits beautifully at the back of the hair giving a lovely detail to the back and side. We also like adding the single braid to the ponytail, making it just that little bit different again.  Let us know what you think....and have fun with this one :-)
