Well it seems like it's been forever since I posted . . . going back to work after #3 has been busy, busy, busy and, well, I guess we've been in rather a rut. My littest - Bean, has just grown her hair long enough for pigtails - a move up from the waterspout!
My middle princess, rarely wants me to tug at her hair any longer. Once and a while I make her sit still and do something - usually it's just a set of messy buns. I love the ones in this picture because they were really coming out of the buns in such a cute way! We put some cute alligator clips in and a bobby pin or two and let it go how it wanted.
Now Little Bird - now called Sport is heading toward her teens at lightening speed and is becoming much more interested in her beauty routine! She's practicing doing some of her own do's, but lets me play as well.
We've gotten pretty good at the front frech braid headband and try new modifications all the time. This one was inspired by a tutorial I saw on pinterest.

I tried this three bun do on me, and although my hair is as long as I think it's ever been, it's much thinner than pre-kids and doesn't look anything like this! I didn't get pictures and I won't try it again unless I add a hairpiece.
This picture doesn't actually show how long my hair is - but I like it. My hair is highlighted and the texture has changed so that I can actually wear it down and it says out of my face now - I don't know if it's the highlighting or the gray hair. . . either way - it's a nice bonus!
Well hopefully I'll be back to post soon. I'd like to try some styles I've discovered on pinterest and show off some of my new hairpieces - I even made one myself!
See you soon!
I rarely visit this old blog. Life flies by and kids grow up. My Little Princess will be in high school next year... I started this journey when she was in first grade. Now she does her own hair. This was her beachy waves after her last haircut. She styles her own hair but prefers a messy bun best of all. She still lets me do her hair for our school's annual Daddy Daughter Dance.
My tiny bean is in Kindergarten already and is rock'n a pixie cut! When I used to style it when it was longer, it would last 20 minutes tops before she ripped out the bands and bows. Now she occasionally lets me put in a bow on the side or she'll throw a tiara in. Most of the time we just wet and tousle it - easy-peasy! You'll never see her without her suitcase of art supplies and high heels when I let her wear them.
My Little Bird/Sport is my Warrior Princess. When she isn't working on her grades she is swimming, power lifting or playing water polo. A few times a year she'll doll herself up. She even lets me do her hair for homecoming and prom! I'm going to miss her when she heads off to college.
