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 :-) If you enjoyed this "Hair-do & How-to", please feel free to share it with your friends.. Rapunzel's Mother x x x
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 :-)

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 :-) If you enjoyed this "Hair-do & How-to", please feel free to share it with your friends.. Rapunzel's Mother x x x
