We will be taking a 3 week vacation to finish out our summer break before the kids head back to school. This means that we will also be taking a short break from hairstyles. :( As soon as we get back we will resume our posts and tutorials. Thanks so much for your patience and have a wonderful end to your summer as well!
So I was watching the video from last Friday of our Inside Out Bun. You can find that original post here. I realized that there is a much easier way to accomplish the same desired look. Here's a video that will same you some time on your Inside Out Bun:
See, now wasn't that much easier?!
Here's a pictures of our new Inside Out Bun and you can see that it looks just like the first.
I will always take the easier edition if it looks just as good! :)
This is not really a "princess" hairstyle but my two oldest boys were so excited about their new Mohawks that they wanted me to post about it on the blog. :)
They were both in desperate need of a haircut and I told them they could choose how they wanted it until school started.
They both chose a Mohawk hairstyle and I agreed just because I know I have the power to change it back before school.
I first used a rat-tail comb and sectioned out the Mohawk area and then I used TONS of gel and shaped it how I wanted it to look.
Then I just grabbed the shaver with a #3 attachment on it and went to work shaving the sides.
The younger one pictured here decide that it was too high maintenance of a hairstyle for him so he now just has a short buzz but my other son absolutely LOVES his Mohawk. We ended up eventually shaving the back part off so that just the top was spiky because the back was always getting mashed in the car anyway. It looks much better now. :)
Today's video is something a little new. I decided to introduce myself to you and let my princess speak a little bit because sometimes the videos get a little redundant and it's nice to see the face behind the styles. :)
This hairstyle is called "Inside Out Bun" and it's basically one bun inside another. The center bun is created using a bun mold and the outer bun is creating using Barrel Rolls.
It's fairly simple but you do want to be sure that you're working with wet hair because that will make all the difference!'
Here's a picture of the finished product.
The Barrel Rolls around the outside can be made as small or as large as you like.
Make sure you have plenty of bobby pins handy to secure all your pieces.
You can see that the bun also resembles a flower a bit.
It was fun introducing ourselves to you and we hope that you continue to enjoy our posts and our videos. :)
It does not get much more simple than this! It's called the Braid Roll and it's a great one to do on your own hair because it's so easy.
Begin with wet hair and pull it all back into a ponytail. Your ponytail can be high, low, or centered.
Now simply braid the entire ponytail VERY loosely. You do not want tight uniform plaits. I would just stick with a Regular 3-Strand Braid because you don't want to much clutter going on with this bun. Make sure to plait all the way down to the very bottom of the hair and then secure it with an elastic.
Now gently wrap the braid around that top elastic to begin and then around itself until all of the braid is up on the head. You can add bobby pins as you go along to secure it into place. It's not supposed to be a tight bun so remember to keep it loose.
Tuck your ends under the bun and secure it with a couple final bobby pins. It's elegant and simple and what could be better than that?
My princess absolutely loves this new style and has requested to wear it again already. These darling buns form the perfect flower. You can always do just one bun instead of two as well.
See how easy that was! It looks great with hair that's not as long also but you may want to divide your ponytail into more than just 4 sections so you get lots of "petals".
Here's a view of the zig-zag part we used. Feel free to use any part you like.
You can see that our flower has several petals because of how long my princess's hair is.
I've gone ahead and tucked all my final ends up into the bun but you could leave them shooting out which is also cute.
The flowers are going to look different every time you do this hairstyle but they are always cute!
You can tell that this is her new favorite style! :)
