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 :-)
