Tuesday Morning (Day #2)

First let me begin by sharing with you that #1 I am new to the hair obsessed club and still learning from my "Hair Heroes" and #2 I am a working mom (who by the way is NOT a morning person!!!)

My Goal for the Week - How many days can I reuse/recycle the hairstyle ?!?!

Day #2

We only have four days of school this week. I’m wondering if I can get 3 or 4 days from this hairstyle. This may be a problem as it has been snowing and the girls need to wear hats outside. We will see. . .

Category: 2nd Day ‘Do
Time: 5-7 minutes in the morning
Needed: Twist braids from the night before, two elastics, bobby pins, brush, comb, hairspray, flower (optional)

I kept Princess’s hair in from yesterday, see link here. This morning I took out the pony tail, brushed her hair minus the twist braids and put it back into a pony tail. I did not wet down all of her hair, I did wet the comb and just wet down any fly away wispies – especially on her neck.


Then I twisted her pony tail and wrapped it around itself to make a bun. I secured the end with a bobby pin.

Next I wrapped the braids around the bun. I was going for a bit of a swirvy pattern. (Like how I just make up terms – I should start my own dictionary.) I bobby pinned those to the bottom of the bun.

Then I untwisted the bun a bit and bobby pinned it so that the bun was bigger, looser and closer to the head.

I hairsprayed her hair and tried to control the worst of the wispies. This may not pass muster with some of my hair heroes – but for this working mom – it looked very nice and the princess was happy.

Little Bird was not exactly cooperative this morning. The best I could do was take out the messy buns and brush her hair.

(By the way - this is pretty much how she looks most morning - she - like me, is NOT a morning person. I, however, have learned not to growl at the world! - usually;-)

The pony weave still looked cool - but as for the rest of it. . .

I did add some bobby pins that had flowers hot glued to them to add a little pizzaz. . . You be the judge!
