We Hung our Wreath with Care

Sans Ponytail Side Buns

I didn't have four elastics in front of me to put her hair in two ponytails first before making the side buns. So I just started braiding near the hairline and went in a circle. Elastic problem solved. :)

Candy Cane Braid

She and her cousin loved sitting at the table together playing with Grandma's kindle while I did both of their hair.

Lace Hairstyle (Great for New Year)

Instead of three rows of braids, I did two to save time. It still turned out lovely.

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

EVERYONE smiled at this hairstyle when we went out to a restaurant and to dance class. Two friends on Facebook sent me a picture of another model to give me the idea. Thank you, Lori and Suzanne!

Festive colors

The idea came from the link below. Like everything else, I had to settle for the simplified version.

Easy Rolled Braid Updo

She had on a different dress for the occasion this morning; now we get orange, silver, and purple--a wonderful color palette for December, don't you think?

Stacked or Wrapped Braids

For little princesses, regular braids are just charming!

Another version that I tried on my sister was to make fishtail braids instead and then wrap them around. She got a lot of compliments from people saying, "Elegant!"

P.S. This was the style Katniss Everdeen wore on reaping day in Hunger Games.

Romantic Braided Updo

This was a pleasant surprise for two reasons:

-I didn't have this in my mind as an end goal.

-It stayed all day through dance class!
