Waterfalled French Braid with Beachy Waves





If you don't have a crimper/waver, you should reconsider.



I absolutely LOVE this beachy-wave look.
 

Every time Bella goes out with these waves, 

without fail...someone tells her she looks like Rapunzel.

Pretzel Knot






I took my son to the doctor today for strep throat.

Turns out
he does have it, but that's not the focus of my post.



Point being: there was a girl at the doctor's office eating a large mall-pretzel.  She kept dipping it in cheese 

and taking long, dripping bites. 

It was disgusting. 

Who eats a cheesy pretzel at a doctors office? 

There are sick-germs all over the place.

Double Dutch Braids





I just watched the 1986 movie, Karate Kid II.  



It's the one with Ralph Macchio
as Daniel LaRusso where he goes with Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) to Okinawa, Japan.

In this movie, not only is Kumiko beautiful;

Elegant 1/2 UP Do





Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow.

That's what is seems like

It's super easy, and looks fancy enough to wear to a black-tie affair.

No Heat Curls: Headband Curls










Double Do Day!



I love a hairstyle that can work twice.
 

Plus this one doesn't use any heat to get these cute spiral curls.

(You just need a simple stretchy headband.)



I love it because it's perfect for a simple hairstyle in the day.

And if you have somewhere fancy to be that evening, 

you just let it out and the curls are fresh and ready to go.



Or you can put the headband

3 - minute do: Bumped High Bun with Headband






I find myself wearing this do more often than not lately. 

After the Christmas
and New Year's break, it was hard to get used to getting up early again. So I sometimes needed a quick hairstyle. 



This one takes literally 3 minutes!



You can fancy it up with a headband.

I'm wearing a string of pearls on stretchy string that my little sister, Lanie made me.  Super easy and inexpensive.

Laced S - Braid





If you're looking for a fresh an innovative look for those cold winter blues, this is it!




I love braids.  Can you tell? 



My hairstyle theory has always been, 

"When it doubt, braid it out."



Just playing with braids can give you thousands of new looks.



This one in particular looks hard, but if you know 

how to  lace braid...it's easy.  And you'll get a ton of compliments.
