Hair Do Tip...

Hey girls!  I'm soooooooo sorry I didn't post all week!  :( 

Just for an update... we had an ok opening weekend last week and it has been better this weekend!  Thanks for your prayers!

Here is a little add on to the hair tip from the other day.

I was telling someone about the baking soda/vinegar treatment last week.  And she told me she knew a missionary lady that that's all she uses for shampoo and her hair is in the best shape ever!  I've been doing it and my hair has felt a little greasy so I asked her about it.  She said that it will feel like that for a little while til your hair gets used to it and then it will go away and your hair will be the healthiest it has ever been!  So if you didn't get the recipe before it's 2 T. baking soda in a 24 ou. bottle of water.  Spray on thoroughly and scrub scalp.  Then rinse. 

I also found out that apple cider vinegar is a natural conditioner!  I don't know if I'll stop using regular conditioner or not but it was very interesting.  :)

Just thought I'd pass it on!  Have any of you tried it yet?  And has it worked?  Have you gotten more curl?

Hi! On our trip to Arizona I found a really cool thing to do a new hairstyle with!

Here are the directions:

1 go to claires!

2 buy a braid hairband that matches your hair color.

3 put it in!!!

This is really neat for girls (like me) who arent great with braiding!

Curly Hair Tutorial...

Hi there!  I have a fun hair do Bethany B. sent in to post on Wed. but I came across this REALLY cool tutorial on how to get your hair super curly, naturally!  I did it and got WAY more curl than I usually do! I got so many questions on how I did it that I decided to post it here so all of you can try it!  (I hope with the same success! :)

So, here is the video, I would turn your volume off, there's like no talking just a song.

So, hope you enjoy!  Oh!  And tell me what you think and if you try it how it turns out!  :D

Oh!  Below her video on YouTube she says she does 2 T. of baking soda in a 24 oz. bottle of water and just sprays it on, scrubs, then uses apple cider vinegar, then conditioner.

Here is a twist. If you can do a french braid this should be easy.

Take the first little bit of hair from by your forehead and twist itto the right several times.

Now pick up a little bit from the leftside bring it over the first piece of hair and twist it in.

Next take some hair from the right side of your head, bring it under thelarge piece, and twist it in.

Continue alternating left and rightsides until all the hair but a little piece at the nape of your neckis twisted in and then ponytail it together to secure the twist.

Now if you are creative you can do something with the ponytail, but I usually leave it down.

(New Giveaway on the Giveaway page that ends Sat.!  Make sure you take a peek!)

Here ya go Judy!  Wow!  I'm actually doing a hairdo!  Shocking right!  After how many weeks!   ;D

This is a fun humid-friendly hairdo that I'm doing a lot this summer!  I have very naturally curly/wavy hair so straightening it on humid days REALLY doesn't work!  ;)  I'm sure some of you can identify with me.

But this one is great cause it's really easy and the more humid it gets, the cuter it gets!  Hope it works for you too!

Here's what you'll need:

2 hair ties

bobby pins

gel

hair spray

Gel and scrunch your hair.

[For those of you who don't usually gel your hair here's what I do:

I don't brush or comb mine before I do this.  This is my hair naturally.  I washed it last night and just let it air dry.

Turn your head upside down.  Place about a dimes worth of curling gel in the palm of your hand, spread on both hands and scrunch your hair up.  Do this til all of your hair is scrunched with a light coating of gel.]

Part your hair over to one side...

Take the front section and separate into two parts.

Now pull the front section over the back section bringing the back section to the front.

Do this til you get it to the desired length.  I usually stop a little before it reaches my ear.

Then secure with bobby pins...

Next, pull the rest of your hair back in a pony tail.

(I wear it a lot like this too.)

Now, smush your hair up from the bottom to the top...

and rubber band it.

Now pull it til you can no longer see the rubber band.

Bobby pin in any loose ends and you are done!

Well, I was going to post a Curly Messy Bun that I did on Sunday but our computer was acting up so I didn't get the pics. up.  Sorry Judy!  :(  I'll try to do it next Wed.

But in the mean time...

Here is an AWSOME site about care for your hair so you can get the best curl out of it!  A friend lent me the book last year and it saved and TOTALLY changed the way I did my hair!  For good!  I have WAY more curl than I ever have AND it's WAY more healthy than ever! 

So, if you have naturally curly hair, or even just the slightest bit of wave, check this page out!

It has how to care for your hair, styles, pics., cuts, and more! 

I REALLY encourage each of you to check it out!  You'll be glad you did!
And if you do, leave a comment and tell me what you thought or how it worked for you!

Fall in love with your God given curl!  :D

Here is a fun twist, or should I say 'zag', to everyday pig tails! 

A cute and cool summer do!

Zag Tails

First part the hair down the middle in a zig zag part.

Next, complete each triangle and put a small hair rubber band on hair.  As shown below.

Sorry, it's hard to put into words!

Do this all the way down the part.

Now, pull the hair over to it's 'side' and pull into pigtails!

That's it!

Hope that made sense!  If it didn't and you have any questions leave me a comment and I'll try to be more descriptive.  ;)

(Thanks Abby for letting me try this on you!)

I was in a wedding where they did this hair do on us bridesmaids and it was really cute!  Thanks for sending it in Ashlyn!  :)

Jordan

1. Brush hair back into a ponytail at the back of the neck.

 2. Make a topsy tail or topsy turvy- whichever you call it. (some people call it different things)
 

 3. Divide the hair into three even sections, braiding each. (Making a total of three braids.) Secure all three with one elastic or small hairthing.
  

4. Tuck end of braid into topsy tail...  

securing with bobby pins, hair clip, barrette, or bow.

Hairdo Week!

Announcing my "Blotsy Shop"!  ;D  Check the tabs above to see what's up!

I haven't had any entries for the scrapbook contest so I think I will cancel for the time being and try again some other time.

*************************

Here is the last of the Hairdo Week!  It has been really fun!  I think I'll do one again in the future!  Thank you to all who sent stuff in!  And if you didn't get a chance this week I do a Hairdo Day each week and I could always use ideas!  :D

Jordan

”First you braid a small section of hair. Then dab a little bit of gel or mousse on the end to keep it from unbraiding. It works best with gel. Then either keep your hair down, or put it back in a pony-tail! Easy!”

Hairdo Week!

I'm posting this tonight for tomorrow because we have snow storm warning til tomorrow morning so our Internet might go down, so if you don't hear from me for a few days that's why!  :}

This has a really neat look to it!  Thanks for sending it in!  :)

Here is a hairdo for a little girl's hair.  It's a harder one to do
and get to look nice.

First take small chunks of hair from where the hairline begins and
put in a pony tail.  Do NOT use elastic or all the hair will fall out
when the 'do' is being taken out.
Split the sections into two parts and take half of one and half of
another and ponytail with some hair from underneath.  I'm not sure
how best to describe this so please refer to the picture.
Continue the above process till you get about two-thirds of the way
back, then start putting the hair into fewer and fewer ponytails till
all the hair is in one ponytail.

Love this lady's hairstyles!  And since she already has them on video thought I'd post some of her styles this week too!  Here is a REALLY cute side french braid called the Waterfall Braid!  And you can do it on any length hair.  It looks cuter on long but I tried it on my short hair and it looked great too!

Jordan

And here's how to do it on yourself!
