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 :-)

Diagonal Boho Braid

Do you like Boho Braids? We are loving the look here at the house of Rapunzel's Mother. We've been looking for some cool, chic but different Boho looks and when we were mucking around we came up with this one.  We've also done this look, with sleek crisp lines, (Basically we kept the braids tight, and didn't fatten and flatten) but we all agree the Boho look tops it in our house. What do you think - Boho or sleek?  This hairstyle works well on long hair but you can also complete the look with medium length hair just don't take the braids around as many times. I've done it on Blonde hair too which looks very special. Have fun with this one :-)

Edgy Braided Ponytail

Hi Guys,  this week my tween (Big Rapunzel) has been having tonnes of edgy ponytails and the ones we get asked about the most is this one. There's lots of pictures on the internet for this kind of look with the pompadour in the front with a higher, loosely braided punk style ponytail, but no really clear instructions or tutorial on how to do it! Don't worry, we totally have you covered with the exact info you need to achieve this look. As Big Rapunzel has been having more and more of these styles lately, little Rapunzel has joined in and today's Tutorial is a cute "girlie" version, though you can make it even edgier if you're a biggie.  Have fun with this one and don't forget to tell your friends :-)

Infinity Ponytail

After a HUGE week of school musicals and hair and make up galore - we thought it was time for something really simple and classic. We've seen this hairstyle on a few catwalks lately and wanted to demo how we do it. In the video I show you how you can use a teeny hairband to finish it off, but I'll be honest with you here on the blog - we usually use our ponytail flipping tool - its quicker and easier :-) so if you have one of those - go for it.  We've also got a hairstyle variation at the end so be sure to let us know which one you prefer and have fun with this one :-)

The Medievil Braid

We were inundated with requests to provide a tutorial for a picture that was doing the rounds on Pinterest and Tumblr. I wish I could give credit, but the watermark on the original photo was so faint I couldn't make it out :( It is truly a beautiful hairstyle, but it's easier than it looks and we've had a great time making the tutorial.  You can wear this hairstyle on it's own, or you can incorporate it with the ponytail veil from last week like we did. The hairstyle on its own can be done in Well Under 5 Minutes!!! Amazing but true! With the veil it's more like 15 minutes - so only for super special occasions.  This isn't identical, but it's our version, (we like to put our own spin on things here at Rapunzel's Mother - so let us know what you think.

The Ponytail Veil

Hi guys, this has been a fun week of tutorials for our house and we've been extra busy.  This week's hairstyle is an oldie but a goodie. The Ponytail Veil has been around for ages but it's such an amazing hairstyle we wanted to share it with you. It breaks our 5 minute rule, but it's still well under 10 minutes . When we did this hairdo - the most popular comment we received was that many people hated taking the hairbands out again at the end, so we've included a SUPER easy way to remove the hairbands with an appliance you probably have lying around at home, or you'll easily find at a newsagent or stationary store for a couple of bucks - so be sure to watch the hairstyle right to the end.
  We'll also be building on this hairstyle next week to create an even more exciting hairdo - so stay tuned til next week and have fun with this one :-)

Pigtail Braid

Hi everyone, we've had a great time doing hair in the Rapunzel's house lately.  This week's Tutorial is the Pigtail Braid.  As you can see it's a braid made from two pigtails, but the effects are really rather special.
We've had such fun with this hairstyle and it has fast become a favourite for our back to school hairdo collection. Like all our hairstyles it can be done in under 5 minutes, but still looks rather special.  You can wear it long and luscious, but we love it dressed up for school with ribbons.  It suits medium, long and extra long hair.  You're bound to get heaps of great comments with this one...

Twisty Tails

Hey Guys, check out our latest video. We've been having fun again and this time we found something we think you'll really like. This is a great hairdo for little-ones, or for when you just want something a bit fun. It works on hair that is long enough to put into pig tails.  My Big Rapunzel loves this new style and has asked for it again and again.  It's nothing tricky, but it is super fun.  Let us know what you think.. is it cute or just silly?

Ribbon Braid-let

Sometimes the hardest thing about doing these video's is not actually the hairstyles themselves but coming up with names for them LOL.  It's a funny name we know, but "The Ribbon Braid-let" is about as close as we could think to describing it... If you come up with a better name, leave us a comment below and we'll change it.  This hairstyle is a continuation of the "Ribbon Braid" we did last week, but with a lovely twist using the micro-braiding. We first saw this in a picture on Pinterest, but noticed there was no video for it, so we couldn't wait to show you how it's done and share it with you.. we hope you like it as much as we do. Have fun with this one...

The Ribbon Braid

Did you like last week's 4 Stranded Round Braid?  This week, we're carrying on the theme. This Ribbon braid uses the same technique, but you use the ribbon as two strands of the 4 strand braid.  The effect is quite dramatic as the ribbon winds through the braid in a streamlined way, producing a completely different looking braid. Check out the video to see how we enhanced the braid even more.  These braids have been around for awhile, but the video breaks it down and shows you slowly and simply how you can create this look for yourself.  We'll be back again next week with another great variation, but in the mean time... have fun with this one.

4 Strand Round Braid

This 4 Strand Braid or plait is a round version, and it leads into another style we've got in store for you in our next tutorial. We're always thinking ahead ;-)  The 4 strand Round braid has been around for a really long time, but there's a few different versions on HOW you can achieve it.  This version is a really easy version that you'll just love.  It's super simple and can be done as fast as a regular braid after only one or two goes.  Have fun with this one...

The Mid Flip

We love "Super Simple" here at Rapunzel's Mother.  The girls often ask me for half ponytail hairdo's and it's great to have a few styles that dress them up, without the fuss. This hairstyle can be done on just about all hair lengths and thick or thin hair too. Basically if you can get it in a half ponytail - you can "Mid Flip" it.  You don't even need a ponytail flipping tool to get the job done - you'll see I just use my fingers in this video, but of course if you have one - it's even EASIER to do.  This hairstyle looks great on short, blonde bob's! Have a go with this simple little number and let us know what you think.  Don't forget to share your pics on our Facebook wall or tag us on Instagram @RapunzelsMother #MidFlip. Have fun with this one :-)

Criss Cross Braided Bun

The Criss Cross Braided Bun is super easy and simple.  With buns being so popular at the moment, we're always on the look out for new designs and we've certainly had fun doing this one.  If your daughters are constantly requesting buns, then this one is great.  You can wear it high and messy for teen styles or low and chic for something special. You can also do the braided accents on top like we have, or underneath for something different if you are wearing it high. (It just sets it off if it's higher to go underneath).  This hairstyle suits long and extra long hair, but we've done it on shoulder length hair too, the bun is just smaller and you just tuck the braids into the bun instead of going round it.  Let us know what you think and have fun with this hairstyle...

How To Do The Braided Twist

Here it is!  At last we show you how to do the braided twist..
 What I love about this hairstyle is once you've had a couple of practices, it becomes easier and easier, in fact it is so much easier than french braids or dutch braids as you only have to work with or hold 4 strands of hair, instead of 5.  This is a big deal when you are working with hair that is so long ;)
The twisted braid can be done on medium length hair, long or extra long hair (basically if you can french braid it, you can twist braid it). It will only take you 5 minutes or less, and you can be creative and do two braids, diagonal (our current favourite) or the simple single style we've chosen here.

Diagonal Twist Braid with Pony

Got no time for a french braid, but looking for something just as cool?  Well the braided twist is the new *black* and we've mixed it up a little for you in today's hairstyle by making it diagonal AND into an easy ponytail style.  You and your little Rapunzel will really enjoy this one.  It's perfect for school and will be just the trick to get you into the new twisted braids.  Get ready, because next week we're going to show you the full twisted braid but for this week, here is a little taster :)

How to Organise Your Hair Things

I've been hearing from many of you - "How the heck do I organise the kids hair things?"  Many people comment on just how much "Hair Stuff" my Rapunzel's and me must own - Well, I can tell you now... Whatever you're thinking double it and you might have some idea LOL. Seriously, if you're sick of constantly picking up hair things from all around the house, I have a solution for you.  This video will show you all my best tips and tricks to get you organised and hopefully help you keep it that way.  I'll even show you how to get the kids involved, so it might not even be your problem anymore ;-)  Have fun with this one!

Nest of Braids Bun

Hi Guys,
It's been a while since we've had as much fun with a hairdo as this one.  We wanted to create something really special, but in sticking with our 5 minute rule it HAD to be simple.  To make it even easier, you'll notice we used a Ponytail Flipping Tool (Topsy Tail), but if you don't have one, remember you can make your own from a coat hanger - Check out our video on how to do that by CLICKING HERE.
(We've also inserted a link in this video if you just watch below).  Or you can use a rat tail comb and your fingers - (don't be put off, it is do-able), and we show you how.  I'm sure you'll agree, this is a GREAT hairstyle, which we know you'll master quickly and love - Have fun with this one :-)

Hidden Headband Braid

My eldest is looking more and more everyday at great "tween" hairstyles.
She's getting so grown up now and is really trying to express herself. She loves hairdo's with a funky edge, so this hairdo ties in perfectly.  Headbands are so popular right now, and they come in every colour, but "braided headbands" are in her opinion, just a little funkier and a great way for her to incorporate her "hairness". She really "owns" her hair as part of her personality, so she was very excited to try this hairstyle.  It works great if you have shorter hair by doing it on either side of the head, and then pinning discreetly in the middle or to the side. We hope you enjoy it :-)

Waterfall Twist Braid - with Curls

One of the most popular braids on the internet EVER is The Waterfall Braid. It's certainly our favourite braid to do here at home.  Once you've mastered it, it's quick and easy but has such an effect, people stop us everywhere we go. The best bit abou thte waterfall braid is you can do it on Bob length hair (However I think it also is a great hairdo to show off Rapunzel length hair LOL).  Although you can't do this hairstyle on a Bob - we LOVE this crown style braid because it's even EASIER than a waterfall braid! 
If you can't do the waterfall braid - I swear you'll NAIL the waterfall twist, it's simpler, easier, and my favourite bit - holds together for an entire day with ONE bobby pin!  If I'm out and about with the girls and need to do hair on the run -and maybe don't have a hairband - this is the hair-do I pull out for a quick tidy up with no fuss :-)  We've done it today with flat iron curls at the base.  We didn't curl the whole head - just the pieces that fell from the twist - Super easy - super effective.  Have fun with this one guys :-)

French Braided Ponytail

We keep getting requests for more practice hairstyles for French Braiding. I know lots of you out there have just learned braids, and we want you to know that we hear you!  Here's a great little hairstyle you can do on your Rapunzel and we hope you like it.  It really suits medium and long hair lengths nicely.  I did it in Big Rapunzel, which is sometimes a challenge (I swear her hair is longer every time I look at it).  Guys, I have to admit, the lighting and camera angle on this video is NOT perfect, but the whole spirit of Rapunzel's Mother is that it is filmed in under 5 minutes whilst we are getting ready for the day - you literally catch me in the act - and that's what it's all about. Have fun with this hairstyle and keep sending those requests and piccy's in.  Don't forget to check out our Facebook page and "like" us. Have fun with this one :-)

Tiara Twist Bun

This week has been so crazy with sporting events and end of term concerts etc, so we've had to come up with hairstyles that are fun and easy, but look like we've made a bit more of an effort.  This hairdo was one we saw on tumblr but couldn't find a tutorial out there for it.  Little Rapunzel has become quite fond of it, and came up with our special name of: "The Tiara Twisted Bun" because the shape of the joined twists looks to her a bit like an inverted tiara :-)  We wanted to share this one with you and see what you think?  We think the twists through the bun add a nice dimension to the style, giving it a bit more texture.  It was perfect for dancing this week and surprised me so much - as it made it through the WHOLE day, and I didn't even have to touch it up before dancing this afternoon :-)  You could add a bit of hairspray, mouse or wax to the twists to keep them super smooth, but as I don't use a lot of product in my Rapunzel's hair, we just left it how it was. Have fun with this one :-)

The Lot-of-Knots Ponytail

This is just a simple little hairdo. We've been practicing our "knot style" braids and this is a great one to get better at them.  We like a ponytail on the side but you can really do this style in any way you like a pony. See what you think of it and have fun :-)


 

Double Rose Braids

Don't you love it when a good one comes along?  We've been enjoying this hairstyle so much at least one of the kids has worn it every day this week.  It's so much fun, but as usual it is quick and easy to do - which is my biggest requirement.  Little Rapunzel lost a tooth yesterday (a big fat Molar, are they meant to come out this early??).. Anyway, the fun of the tooth fairy's arrival used up a pile of time on video day - so it was great to have a hairstyle ready for you that I knew wouldn't take long... 10 minutes later and both hairstyles were done for the day and we were off to school to brag about our tooth fairy visit :-)  I hope you have fun as much fun with this one as we did...

 

Ponytail Knot

You know when you've got zero time on your hands, but you still want to look your best and like you've made an effort? Well this hairdo is GREAT for those days. We love ponytails on the side, but this one just has a little something extra to keep it interesting.  It only takes about a minute and a half to do, but you'll still get heaps of comments.  A great "Tween" hairstyle too, dress it up with some curls and it's an awesome party do, or lazy weekends when you have better things to do than hair.  Have fun with this one :-)
 

Low Chignon with Twists

We've been looking for some simple hairstyles that are suitable for work, play or even for something a little special - of course it has to fit into our under 5 minute rule too.  This hairstyle fits that criteria beautifully.  It is the perfect hairstyle for shoulder or medium length hair, but we've got a little trick for how to make it work if you have Rapunzel length hair just as well.  Have a look at how we did it here - and have fun with this one :-)
Plus let us know what you think of our special guest??

Twist Back Ponytail

We get really sick of doing the same ol' ponytail styles all the time, so we are always on the lookout for cute ways to wear ponytails.  This one is a great hairstyle that you can wear to work, but it's also fun and goes great with jeans, so I wear this one often.  It's a really great "I-haven't-washed-my-hair-in-a-couple-of-days" kinda style too.  The best bit about it, is it literally only takes a couple of minutes to do!  Have fun with this one :-)

Romantic Ponytails

Hi, I hope you're having a GREAT week.
We've had lots of requests for easy school hair and different ponytails, so this hairstyle answers both. 
You will see in the video - we also tried it with braids and twists, and waves vs no waves so don't be afraid to mix it up for different effects. This hairstyle can be done so quickly and easily - you'll blitz our under 5 minutes rule, but you'll still get heaps of comments about how great you are at doing hair :-) 
This is also a good one for those who aren't adventurous!  Have fun with this one! 

Double One-Sided Braid

Hiya, This week we are following on from a style we did last week called the "Criss-Cross Braid".  We had so much fun with that hairstyle we wanted to do another similar one - so today's hairstyle is.... (drum roll) The "Double One-Sided Braid".  This hairdo can be done on medium length, long and extra long hair.  Its a fun spin on the usual lace braids or one sided braids we normally do.  Its kinda like a double Katniss Braid, so my kids LUURVE it. You'll have lots of comments from these ones as they look intricate and fiddly - but they are actually quite simple and seem to get easier and faster as you go.  Have fun with this one :-)
 

Criss Cross Braid

Oooo this one is so much fun!  We have really enjoyed it and have worn it to school heaps for the first week back ;-)  We've been looking for some fun hairdo's for you to get you back into the swing of school. We have used our favorite tried and tested ones this week as we are having a harder time getting into our old routine. I love the summer holidays , but getting back is hard isn't it?   Anyways - If you like one sided braids - you are going to love this hairdo!  It's something different for a change.  We have found it looks great with some bright red ribbons or bows to accentuate the pigtails too - so don't be shy with your accessories.  Have fun with this one :-)

Back To School Hairstyles

Getting back to school can be tricky.... I don't know about you, but it takes us awhile to get back into the routine of things again. That's when you need some really quick simple hairdo's that are super cool.  So we've made you a quick video to help get you started and make those first weeks back a little easier.  These little hairstyles are so good you can use them on the kids or even for work. We've got 3 basic ones lined up, but they lead into 5 all up for you to mix up and go on your own. Good luck to everybody heading back to school next week .. and have fun with these ones :-)

How to use Ponytailer Hairbands

Have you ever wanted to know how to use "bobbles" or "ponytailers"? They are those cool little hairbands you can get with two balls on either end.  They have featured in our "How to keep your hair - Tangle Free" video, but we've had more than a few requests for a video all of their own.  They are so cool and a BIG part of our everyday routine, so we went ahead and made a video.... :-)

Loose Ladder Braid

We've had a hard time thinking of a name for this one, but it's asked for by Little Rapunzel about every 2nd day!  The first day she wore it, she didn't realise what I'd done, and after getting so many comments she asked Big Rapunzel to take a picture of it with my phone so she could see what everyone was talking about :-)  The great thing is, it can lead to so many other cool designs, the options are endless.  Share them on our Facebook page.  Have fun with this one :-)

Long Loose Braid

This hairdo has quickly become one of our favourites. It's so cute on really long hair, but I've even done it on shoulder length hair and it looks great, (as long as you don't have too many layers).  We've included a tip in this video for pain free braids, as my big Rapunzel sometimes complains that braiding hurts, and I have to admit, there is a real technique to braiding loooooooong Rapunzel length hair.

Have a go and see what you think.  We'd love to see your version so shoot us a picture, or share on our Facebook page.  Also, let us know what you think of my little Rapunzel actress... She wore those dress up glasses and stayed in character ALLLLL day - it was a hoot :-)

Beat-The-Heat Hairstyles

With summer well and truly here, it's nice to have a few hairstyles for you and the kids to enjoy.  As promised - Our Beat-The-Heat collection is here to help!

Diagonal Braid Into A Bun

Happy New Year!!  While we were on holidays I didn't forget you and even had fun with a couple of Rapunzel Beauties!  As I said in the video, we did this one a couple of times and it really proved itself - It was a great hairstyle that stayed in and continued to look quite "Spesh" for all the Christmas activities. I hope you like it as much as we did...  At the moment we are working hard on putting together a group of hairstyles badly needed for this time of year. Stay tuned for our "Beat-the-Heat" special!  It's a collection of hairstyles perfect for getting your Rapunzel's tresses up.... Have fun with this one :-)
