These two hairdo's have become my youngest girl's new favorite requests. (I think she just likes saying the names we've given to them really, since it's the only time she gets excited for me to do her hair lately.)

So here we have it. First:

The Mohawk
Basically, for both hairstyles, you are just parting the hair into four equal sections, and then putting each section into a stuffed bun. For the Mohawk, I did four equal sections straight down the middle of her head, just like, well, a Mohawk. The more stuffed in the hair, the better. You can even use bobby pins to secure them to her head better.
Spray well with hairspray, and she's done.
I personally like to call it the Horse Mane, since it reminds me of when horse's manes are done up for equestrian shows, BUT the other name has stuck in our house.

And next, we have:

The Tiara (or crown!)

(I bet you can't tell why this is a favorite either...).
We start by doing the same thing, but parting from front to back in equal sections, and putting in more stuffed buns. I found I use bobby pins to pull the stuffed buns together and fill in holes. We also put in these little clips in front. Add whatever works! 
We hope your gals have as much fun wearing these as ours do! Happy Stuffing!



How to girl's hairstyles : The Mohawk or The Tiara 7-10 min

I don't know about the rest of you, but School Picture Day is probably one of my most stressful mornings (pathetic, I know). I stress because:
1: I can't be there to rearrange, comb, spritz anything back into place, and 
2: how do I get the hair to STICK, look natural, but not move until it's picture time?
I justify my erratic and tense behavior because, as I tell my girls, "I'm paying for these, so I want them to be PERFECT." So, now that you are feeling sorry for my children, let me share with you some possible ideas, that I think would be SUPERB for picture day.

I really really like my girls' hair down for pictures. I think that if I'm going to do something fancy, it should be visible, and since most of my fancy stuff is in the BACK of the head, it does nothing for their pictures, which I really want to show off their cute little faces. So, here's some of my favorites, with the hair down, that I think we'll be choosing from, since our picture day is tomorrow!
But, I know some of you may want to have the hair up, so I've picked a few faves for you too. They are at the end. Enjoy! Good luck with your morning!
Hair Down
Rosettes/Twist Bun Headband  (I will be sharing a video on how to make the actual headbands soon!)

Hair Up
If you wanted to eliminate the top twists, I think a side bun with a flower would be adorable for pictures as well. I'm leaning towards this hairdo myself.....
