Little Girl's Hairstyles - zig zag part--7-10 min

Sorry this picture is so dark. If you click on it and make it bigger, you can see the parting much better. This is just a variation of what you can do with a zig zag part. You'll need several elastics for this, and a rat tail comb would be useful.Get hair damp, and part in zig zag, in even sections. The easiest way to do a part like this is to do one splice at a time. Comb the hair away from the part on either side, proceed on. This will help keep the hair in their proper sections, as well as having the hair thoroughly damp.
After it's parted down, I section from each point down, and comb remaining hair away from part.

On this, I alternated each section between a pull through pony and a regular pony. This is a pull through.

To do a pull through, secure a regular ponytail. Take the end of a rat tail comb and divide pony in the middle. Wiggle it to separate hair enough for you to easily pull hair through, and fold pony end over top and pull through.

After hair is pulled through, split pony in two and pull to tighten.

This is what the pattern looks like that I did, keeping the parting going at each point. Do other side the same, and I finished here with simple ponytails. My girl's hair is curly enough that when it's wet, I can curl it around into ringlets and I spray with hairspray. You can curl ponys or braid or twist--whatever you have time for. Again sorry it's so dark. Enlarge to see detail better.

Little Girl's Hairstyles - Keeping your little gal's hair healthy!

Here's what I think about using certain hair products, especially on little girls' hair. First, it's important to understand what type of hair they have--just like you do for yourself. Little girls' hair doesn't have the same oils and/or texture as adult hair, and most hair products out there are made for adult hair.
That being said, they can be useful! Here's just a few dos and don'ts--but just in MY opinion.

If your little girl's hair is straight:

• Don't use gels or mousse, except very sparingly, if you are leaving it down. This tends to make the hair greasy and weighted down.
• Do use lightweight hairsprays to keep styles in place. Also, starting a style with damp, even wet hair, goes a long way to keeping it in place and smooth. I also will use a lightweight gel (I like Paul Mitchell super scultping lotion) before doing a style with lots of braiding, to help keep ends in.

If it's curly:

• If leaving hair down, a lightweight mousse is great. You can apply to damp or dry hair and scrunch. A leave in conditioner is great to define their curls and keep them soft, and is what I like best for young girls' curls.
• Pomade is super for smoothing small pieces into shape, but again, very sparingly.
• Be careful to not overspray or spray too close with hairspray as well......no one wants to send their little darling off with cute hair and white flaky residue.

Also, little girl hair doesn't usually need to be washed every day, since it doesn't tend to oiliness like in an adult.  If I haven't loaded my girls' hair up with loads of hairspray, and they have managed to avoid getting it in their food that day, then I'll skip it. I shoot for every other day, and I still use baby wash/shampoo on their hair (my girls are 4 and 6), because it's gentle and doesn't strip away the oils that keep their hair shiny and healthy. I always use a good conditioner and let it sit for a few minutes after. Don't rub their hair with the towel, but blot and gently squeeze to remove the water, and use a wide toothed comb (not a brush!)to comb wet hair,  Keeping their hair trimmed (every 8-12 weeks) regularly will also keep away split ends, breakage, and damage from elastics.

Enjoy that Happy Healthy Hair!

Little Girl's Hairstyles - Full side twist- 3 to 5 min

This is fairly easy and quick and works well on shorter hair as long. Here's both girls with twists.

First, you'll need only 1-2 elastics, depending on how you'd like to finish the hair, and a comb. I like to have all the hair damp--I use a spray bottle and spray it well, on top and underneath, since you'll be pulling the hair underneath up. Part hair into slant, and comb down smooth. Having the hair damp will keep the hair smooth and help stray pieces stay in longer.
Part off small section, about inch deep, and split hair into equal parts. You'll be twisting bottom piece up over the top.
This shows the first section of hair that you'll incorporate into the twist. First twist the two pieces around each other, and then after a full twist, then bring the first section in. I'm holding all 3 here so you can see them clearly, but I do not bring in the left section until after the right and middle are twisted around once.
Incorporating first piece after initial twist.
Continue to bring up sections and twist in, just like you do when french braiding. To keep the top of the hair from bunching, periodically comb it down, and keep the twist tight, close to the head.
I like to use my pinky on my right hand to part the hair I bring up in the twist, but whatever works best for you!

This is where I stop the twist--right above the ear. I then comb back the hair that's left in the front and make it smooth, and pull it into the twist.

It should look like this once all the hair is in. Keeping it tight, this is where you put in your elastic.

To make the stuffed bun on the side, after securing the hair in the elastic, on the last pass through, I pull the hair only thru halfway.

I then fold the tail up and over.

and stuff it back into the elastic. You can pull on the hair after it's secured to adjust and make it look even.

If your girl's hair is too short for the bun, you can leave it in a ponytail, or braid it down. I spray with hair spray to keep it in. Clip in a bow or flower on top. Side and back view. All done (and so was she!)

Jason Castros' lil bro - Michael Castro audition in Kansas City for American Idol 8. First thing you'll notice is his mohawk hairstyle. Some parts of his hair is colored pink and it really looks nice on him. And he also got that very cute smile. I would really like to see more of him in Hollywood.

Emo and Scene Kids Part II

YES, the major difference between emos and scenesters are their attitude. But I don't believe all 'scene kids' have an original personality, as you say 'dont follow the personality'. Yea, they dont follow the emo personality. But they still have one they mostly all have.. they think highly of themselves.

Another difference is, emos are generally natured to black. Scene kids love colors. Rainbows, neon colors..anything and everything!(Although I see emos starting to like rainbows now..xD)

Another thing is the 'obsessions'. Emos love, mostly Jack Skellington, and such things as that. While Scene kids are more into the look of say, Sanrio characters, like Hello Kitty. And also, Gloomy Bear is a big thing for them.

While emos and scenes are close to each other, I think the difference is more than what it seems. It isnt just the personality, but the style too. The common thing shared among them is probably the hair. But scene hair is most definately BIGGER.xD

You should be able to tell the difference, on the spot, from an emo or a scene kid. Guys are harder to distinguish than girls most of the time. But see a guy with a lot of confidence and he seems like hed have a big mouth on him, wearing bright colors, and big sun glasses..I think its safe to assume hes 'scene'. While a guy wearing mostly black, quiet in the corner, walking slowly..well, thats emo. But even if an emo doesnt follow the personality, you can still tell them apart by the overall style.
