Bows and More Bows

Finally, we've gotten to the end of my updates and now I can show what bows I keep telling everyone about (sorry I've been doing that..it's just a new hobby and I'm excited about it) The first one is called Korker bows (or twirly/twisty bows) or pretty much whatever you want to call them!! And then the second is all the rest of the ones I've made with various colors and clips/ponytail holders and stuff!! There's a better picture of the flower bow on the headband. So which is your favorite?? Leave me a comment so I know which type to make more of...and I can make any of them as a ponytail or using a regular barrette or a small clippie. I really want to know what other people like so I can make what people might buy if I ever tried to sell them?? For interest sake, would you buy any of these!!?? I just truly want to know if they were what anybody would look for if they were to buy something for their daughter's hair!! Thanks for the input and thanks for trudging through all the videos and pictures!! ;)

The Four Geisha Twist

This one turned out really well I think and I actually came up with most of this one on my own....it's french braided up top into the four braided buns....And then just topped off with some scrap ribbon....boys for all the talking I've done about me making bows, none of these pictures minus the one headband one shows her wearing any of them!! Mistake on my part!!

With Flowers in Her Hair....

Well this is one of the bows I've made recently, and this one is just clipped on a headband, but the bows are interchangeable for the headband and you can just choose which bow to put on your headband each day depending on the color of your girl's outfit!! I just noticed you can't see it in the picture but this bow is actually called a flower bow because it's folded up to the middle to look like a flower....oh yeah but I think I have a better picture later of it!! Okay so just wait for that one!!

You Put WHAT in your Hair??

I could certainly imagine the stares and funny faces that Destinee's classmates would give her if when asked how she got her hair so nice and curly (since it's like a pancake otherwise) and she proudly told them: "Egg Whites, isn't it pretty?" Well I told a few people about this and some had said that they had already heard about it but never wanted to try it....but you know me..I'm just that adventurous!! Anyway, I bought a carton of those Egg Beaters and poured away and what do you know it worked BEAUTIFULLY!! So this was SO simple and very nice for a fancy do when nothing else will work on her hair!! Then it's just a simple Corkscrew Twist for the back!! She had just fallen right before I took this picture so she certainly doesn't look too happy to have her picture taken, but oh well, the price of beauty, right!!??

Criss-Cross'll make you Jump Jump!!

Sorry about the bad band joke there....anyway this was a fun style to figure out that I could do on shorter hair...and then I decided to jazz it up with the ribbons at the end to match her shirt!!

Knotty Times

So does every good red-blooded American woman remember the Topsy-Tail from when they were young...I know I sure do and LOVED it...you can still find them a few places on E-bay but the company that did make them stopped making them. And so this was done with just a rat tail comb for in the middle and then you flip it under yourself!! Then with the leftover hair I just flipped it into an upside topsy tail ponytail (flip the hair up through the ponytail instead of down.)

Hairballs and Accessories

So now what maybe some of you read through all that mumbo-jumbo for, since I've been talking about it forever and have never shown the "goods".......these are all hairdos that I saw on these talented ladies' sites that are on my blog that seem to dedicate ALOT of their time to doing their beautiful daughters' hair...so yes I copied them but I think I did a decent job on some of them because Destinee's hair is QUITE a bit shorter than any of these girls, so I was adapting it for the shorties in our family!! ;) Hope you like!!
