Braided Faux-Hawk





You have to love a good tight perfectly placed style that can work on so many levels for so very many different occasions. This one really can be used for everything from dressed up and elegant to every day. How do you see you using this style?
I really love this style also for the fact that it uses a banana clip. I remember having banana clips and not knowing how to us them. I would use them

Week 5 {#girlydos100daysofhair}



I think my phone is experiencing its two-year "slump". We got a letter saying our contract was up and yada-yada-yada we qualify to upgrade... well we thought of getting me a new phone and giving mine to the husband to abuse. (He breaks a phone or two every year.) But its been acting up a bit lately and I feel like its lost a bit of photo quality this week (among other things). Do phones know

Week 4 {#girlydos100daysofhair}



Beans hair is seriously getting so long! We measured it today because she's ready to cut it, but wants to donate... She's still a few months away from donating. I'm thinking that she may be able to donate and go back to a bob at the start of next summer. She is very excited.

The Big Beautiful Bun Braid



It has been on my list for a while to make this braid a stronger braid that held up better and used less bobby-pins. I think I accomplished this. When I originally learned how to do this hairstyle I wasn't very impressed with the tightness of it and I didn't love how many bobby-pins I had to use to make it look good. I finally have it to where it holds itself and I am only using bobby-pins to

Week 2 {Days 6-9}



What a week. This week started out fine, but ended a bit chaotic. I didn't even get my new video uploaded this week, but some weeks are like that. Hopefully that means next week you will get two new tutorials so I can stay on track. My little Beans got sick this week, so we spent part of our week visiting the hospital. No worries though, she is fine.

It looks like we took the easy way for
