So I decided one day to try it. I know some Mommy's hate the idea of cornrows thinking it's torture on the child, but I didn't notice her acting any different from other days I've done her hair. And believe me, my two year old tells me if something hurts! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfX0VwjYyEUktx0k1Ppr76BKhrkRRRnY4eHGauuJu7HGfV2OzZB5tWH6l66QveuVw_zo5M518qkyLMjjr98IgvkTzmP9_mO_FSWi-j9DVIz8piLDlLkfAKJqyJWYk4IVXsz-Z0OOJzOIsI/s1600/DSC06966.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfX0VwjYyEUktx0k1Ppr76BKhrkRRRnY4eHGauuJu7HGfV2OzZB5tWH6l66QveuVw_zo5M518qkyLMjjr98IgvkTzmP9_mO_FSWi-j9DVIz8piLDlLkfAKJqyJWYk4IVXsz-Z0OOJzOIsI/s400/DSC06966.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It was actually really fun to do. Of course Mine aren't as small as some cornrows, but I wanted something quicker so I just did a little bit bigger ones. There are two on each side of her part. And with the hair by her ears, I was going to cornrow as well, but just ended up twisting them because I had taken too long, and my toddler's patience only lasts so long!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The cornrows themselves were pretty simple. They were just a small french braid. Each section I did I sectioned the hairs out that I wanted and pulled the rest into a pony tail, so the hair wouldn't get mixed in with the other hair. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Once all the cornrows were done, I brought the braids into a big four strand braid. The two side twists are just secured with a rubber band under the four strand braid and it all comes together in a pony tail, which I made a bun with. I love doing these types of hairstyles where I can get creative with how to bring it all together. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

On this <a href="http://www.cutegirlshairstyles.com/braids/video-tutorial-wrap-around-french-braid/">tutorial</a> they are called Wrap-Around French Braids. Either way, I love braids that start at the back of the head, ending at the other side. I've tried it with a <a href="http://toddlerhairstyles.blogspot.com/2011/10/braids.html">french twist braid</a> as well, but I like this new way better because it is more secure.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2eb8q9kEOSmS4bJlceODGD8bnmXD9Jj7PKUyzj45Y-i9CmOpspS0Dci7mg8nI4ByIz-sudHznfqSE7ybAkGCaOuOMVnsq5MGf4mgiSTwXaQKL1VCbz3yc2jhuBBcV-fqdYzVadCwozVHQ/s1600/DSC06898.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2eb8q9kEOSmS4bJlceODGD8bnmXD9Jj7PKUyzj45Y-i9CmOpspS0Dci7mg8nI4ByIz-sudHznfqSE7ybAkGCaOuOMVnsq5MGf4mgiSTwXaQKL1VCbz3yc2jhuBBcV-fqdYzVadCwozVHQ/s400/DSC06898.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What's is fun about this french braid is that you don't take hair for the top strand (like in a normal french braid where you take hair for the top and bottom), only take hair for the bottom strands when you include the new hair in. This makes the braid pop out more. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0TGGDw1XsKSxREVGLIpJ2GR2YO9Dk7bsO5fuCLHwDKpBNMmrmnvMr3rmL1q_qBsLH0FAr2xnYzJc_W5OveuwVYZO1po_CQVPJnlyoMb03LWoOrnhUhdDi05zBpFRVihfdCOe8yvwgZDdL/s1600/DSC06897.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="244" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0TGGDw1XsKSxREVGLIpJ2GR2YO9Dk7bsO5fuCLHwDKpBNMmrmnvMr3rmL1q_qBsLH0FAr2xnYzJc_W5OveuwVYZO1po_CQVPJnlyoMb03LWoOrnhUhdDi05zBpFRVihfdCOe8yvwgZDdL/s320/DSC06897.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Alright, so it doesn't look as clean as the one in the <a href="http://www.cutegirlshairstyles.com/braids/video-tutorial-wrap-around-french-braid/">tutorial</a> so I think it might work better next time if I straightened her hair. See my toddler's hair is very wavy with some crazy cowlicks in the back so I can never get it to lay down straight. But, I'm willing to overlook that if you are because it is such a fun hairstyle!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I was just playing with her hair and ended up with this. And yes it only lasted a few minutes before taking it out and putting tight pony tails in but it was cute while it lasted. (run on sentence?)

It's not easy sometimes. But that means that I can put a bunch of pictures in one post, like I'm going to do here. Now I've always wanted to try a Dutch crown braid like in the tutorial <a href="http://www.cutegirlshairstyles.com/5-minutes/braided-crown/">here</a>. I didn't think that Sage's hair was long enough to do the Dutch crown braid all the way around her head so I first tried it like this.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYhlfw8LCtZrE2euxnEekqavxfvnJU4_dMkSp4MesGKKH6rlEszX3e5PBPUb8F5VXiQ_UOm7nrbx9LbRCRXtdiC6J3wXWG_ikAlvZMveAFPT5K11KJ4M2N4F4nYVlL6t1vIsXwUN8B-s4F/s1600/DSC06265.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYhlfw8LCtZrE2euxnEekqavxfvnJU4_dMkSp4MesGKKH6rlEszX3e5PBPUb8F5VXiQ_UOm7nrbx9LbRCRXtdiC6J3wXWG_ikAlvZMveAFPT5K11KJ4M2N4F4nYVlL6t1vIsXwUN8B-s4F/s400/DSC06265.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I just started at one ear and did a Dutch braid and when I got to the other end I just kept braiding to the end of the hair without pulling any new hair in and I tied it with an elastic. Then I started the braid again going from right to left incorporating the first braid in. That is why the second row looks thicker. I was so happy with it and it even lasted for a few days :) That is always a plus.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyway enough of that one. I was just so excited to learn to do it. I tried it again a few days later when we were going to a football game. I wanted my daughter's hair to be down so she would be warmer, but she can't just simply wear it down because it gets all in her face. So, I thought it would be fun to do a small dutch braid in the front to keep the hair out of her face. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Next, I decided to get fancy and try a real braided crown.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, I found out that her hair is barely long enough. See you start at one end and add hair in from the bottom only until you get to the other side. Then you have to tuck the end of the braid into the other side to make it look like one continuous braid. So it needs to be long enough to make it to the other side.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I think I would do these everyday if my daughter let me.

They end up being very pretty and take a minimal amount of time to do. Here's the first one I ever tried. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Never use bright green elastic bands unless you have something to match them! Ahh well I went and bought clear elastic band right after this to fix that problem. I used them in the next rubber band hairstyle I did on her. </div><div style="text-align: auto;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I don't know exactly what I did, but it was fun to do something original. I started with 3 ponytails twisted on each side in the front. Somehow I connected them and ended up with four rubber bands at the end and did a four strand braid, then tied them, then put the flower, then pulled up the rest of the hair in a low pony tail. I actually did a twist braid with the low pony tail, but it got pretty loose because I don't use product in her hair but I just left it! Anyways I had a fun time creating this one!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I really like how the next one turned out. I did just one fishtail french and it turned out very pretty. All you do it quickly separate the whole hair into two sections and bring a piece from one side to the opposite section in the back and then bring a piece from the other front side to the opposite section in the back. Now Sage's hair isn't quite long enough for her front pieces to stay in so when I brought the front pieces over to the opposite side I tied it with a clear elastic to a small section of hair to keep it in place. You then continue to do a fishtail braid over top of it to cover the elastic. I just did this three or four times for the front sections to stay in easier and then just did the rest as a regular fishtail. I got this technique here from this </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=nrnuw_A58QI"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">video</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

This would be a beautiful hairstyle on an adult. You could stop braiding at the base of the head and just put it in a low messy bun instead of fishtail braiding all the way to the end or even put it into a simple pony tail at the base of the head. I've tried it on myself, but I didn't use bobby pins or an elastic hair thing to keep the front ends in place so it was a little loose (I don't do pictures of myself ;) </span></span></td></tr>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This one was fun. I just parted it down the middle and took one side and tied it like beginning of tying a shoe (before you make the bow) and then did it again, making a knot, each time gathering more hair. The thing I like most about it is that it looks like it took some work, but it is sooooo easy. I mean extremely easy! Much easier then braiding. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I got the idea for this hairstyle at <a href="http://www.princesshairstyles.com/2008/11/faux-french-braid-for-those-of-you-who.html">Princess Hairstyles</a>. I know, it looks different then the one on that site. I used a much smaller ribbon and I pulled mine into pigtails. I was so proud of myself though. I've always wanted to use ribbon in braids and whatnot, but it seems too hard. This was fairly easy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The next one is neither great or exciting, but I loved it on Sage. Her hair is so curly and wavy and it was nice to just let her waves go (normally it drives me crazy and I want her hair up nice and neat) but this time I made myself do it haha.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It's like a free hobby! You see, someday I plan to sew and scrapbook and repurpose furniture and all that DIY stuff but all of those darn things take money. For now, I'll just do hair :)</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well I've never been the best french braider, so I practiced on Sage a few times and had fun (even though I had to start over multiple times). I'm far from perfect at it right now and my fingers still feel a bit awkward. Here are a few that turned out really cute.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I just braided each front side and stopped it at the back of her head. I then pulled each braid into the opposite pigtail. It was adorable.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've also always wanted to do a braided crown on Sage. I couldn't go all the way around her head (it's either not possible because her hair isn't long enough, or I'm just not skilled enough now) But it did look really cute. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

But I try to bring it into one pony tail. Here is an example.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCG5A6-pqNQ2VjX3lQl9duu9l2bfvi2mhNCyRTTaNgrSFadqGeqQvijiQePkEnkrM4NuR-vX-EuSJ1YUCixmXhCvATDp2kZ8GnYv_1kkO_u87b-6VG-3RYe68bSYZ8tmWHf2Z58UXgbLXQ/s1600/DSC05838.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCG5A6-pqNQ2VjX3lQl9duu9l2bfvi2mhNCyRTTaNgrSFadqGeqQvijiQePkEnkrM4NuR-vX-EuSJ1YUCixmXhCvATDp2kZ8GnYv_1kkO_u87b-6VG-3RYe68bSYZ8tmWHf2Z58UXgbLXQ/s400/DSC05838.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">What I did here was the woven fishtail but them brought it into a pony tail and then fishtail braided the pony tail, then put the braid into a bun. Make sense? I hardly know if I can recreate it, but it looks beautiful. It would look great on an adult. It isn't the best style for a toddler though because the hair in the front falls out into her face because it isn't very tight or long enough. But with longer hair (and some bobby pins), it would be great.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This next one took me awhile to get right.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It's a french twist braid. I love it because I'm not the greatest french braider so working with just two strands and twisting is a great start (and so easy!) </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">With this style, I separated each side into a pigtail. All you do is take two strands from the front, and twist them, with each strands on the opposite side now and take hair from the top and add it to the top strand. Take hair from the bottom and add it to a bottom strand and then twist again! It's so simple. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

So, next, is not one that I am most proud of. It's a little sloppy, but fun. If I do it again I'd fix it so the side ponytails go in to each other. I'll show you,<br />

See how that first pony is falling out? Well, I could have easily included it into the next ponytail so it won't fall out. Oh well, that's what this blog is for. Live and learn. It was really cute from the front though. I just took the whole front section from the left side to the right (not in any straight line) just twisting as I went. Then did the same thing for the next section. But for the third section I went the opposite way from right to left. It was messy, but cute.<br />

I've had the blog made for awhile, just needed my husband to stop doing schoolwork so I could use his computer. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It's been tough since my good old macbook pro died. It's not easy sharing a computer with the hubby. See schoolwork seems to be more important then me blogging. That just doesn't make sense to me. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Well I have a lot of pics but I'll start from the beginning. It's fun to watch how my hair skills have evolved since I started doing Sage's hair (not that they're that great or anything).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The basic pigtail braid</td></tr>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So here is the first basic hairstyle that I started with in the beginning. It made me feel like I was a good Mom because I braided my daughter's hair. And it was easy.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBz6YW_GO3uYSgRIgS4Noxg3j64ewVrFFmCD67hD1zgeQiLTMXuB0GVoK5flCr3B5fkRDBxjnbpLUn0ExAjyoo2QmudNcolkFA3DejpI_jb3g2jyVXq7q3KVGUO8wylO-5YDZx_urYjp9K/s1600/DSC05198.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="314" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBz6YW_GO3uYSgRIgS4Noxg3j64ewVrFFmCD67hD1zgeQiLTMXuB0GVoK5flCr3B5fkRDBxjnbpLUn0ExAjyoo2QmudNcolkFA3DejpI_jb3g2jyVXq7q3KVGUO8wylO-5YDZx_urYjp9K/s320/DSC05198.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is in a tight pigtail and then a braid so it has a better chance of staying in.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So this is a great beginner hairstyle for when your toddler's hair starts getting longer. There will be plenty more coming!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tata for now!!</span><br />
