Ladder Braided Ponytail

I love projects. And I've been doing a little
re-decorating on my house. I had hung a bunch of molding and needed some paint.



I took a fabric swatch of a subtle, creamy-yellow that I liked with me to the Home Depot and picked out my color of paint. When I asked them to make it, they said it would be too dark and I wouldn't like it. They encouraged me to get two shades lighter.

I did.

Beautiful Up-Do Perfect for Short & Thin Hair

Maybe it's because I grew up when tube socks were all the rage
(you remember the ones -- bright colors, with

 white stripes along the top).

But I LOVE using socks for my hairstyles.



It's such an easy way to make it look like you have tons of thick hair, even if you don't. Or tame thick hair when you want it in a certain shape. Plus...it's free! Everyone has a sock.



Except for me...

Timeless Up-Do with Lace Headband

You may have noticed that I LOVE quick, up-do hairstyles.

And I also
LOVE high, full buns.



This one is a combination of our celebrity ponytail and sock bun. It's also the tutorial we promised you on how to 

wear the lace headband we made.



I hope you love it as much as I do. Sock buns work on short hair too. Just get a baby-sized sock and cut the toe off.

Textured Knot

Hey everyone! Long time no see! I can't wait to show you this new look, which has first appeared at the Band Of Outsiders fall 2013 show. This artfully rumpled style has been created by Duffy, a beauty expert. I've found this tutorial ( well, more like, a video) on Vogue.com on its top 10 stories from this week. I must say that this fashion season will be mostly marked by a little more classier and sleeaker hairstyles, but nevermind, because this is a great mixture of messy and classy! And even though this is a very casual style, it's the texture of the hair that makes it so exceptional!

For more info about the products used in this video (oh yeah, don't be afraid of clicking the link, It's not a virus or a pop-up, It will just open an extra tab and you will watch it there!) you can visit the Vogue page here. And as for the video, just follow this link: http://bcove.me/5i06rgeb

Easter Hairstyle: Woven Ribbon Bun

I love having a fancy hairstyle to match a new Easter dress.

And I think
this one is beautiful.



It wasn't hard, either.

You just need some ribbon (your choice of colors and widths) and a bobby pin to thread it through the hair.



We got a ton of compliments when she wore it today.

Happy Easter

Easter Basket of Eggs

We got our Easter eggs out to get ready for
our hunt this weekend and Lanie really wanted to try a hairstyle that used 
the bright and fun Easter eggs. 



Here's the basket of eggs we designed.

She has short and thin hair. If yours is thicker and longer, 

this will work even better.

Happy Easter

Tree Sap! Help!

So Lanie decided to climb a pine tree.
 

She had a lot of fun, and got fairly high. 

But she also got a quarter-sized glob of tree sap in her hair.



I tried everything to get it out:  olive oil, dish soap, peanut butter. The thing that finally did the trick was Vaseline. I had to use 2-3 TBLS and brush it in with a toothbrush.



The sap came out, but I couldn't get the greasy Vaseline out
