The Hairpiece Hairstyle
I'm sure most everyone has seen these hairpieces around. My daughter refers to them as "fake hair" lol. Anyway, I've always thought of them as being a little weird and didn't really consider buying one. But, we ended up having to get one for her little dance group because they wanted everyone's hair to look the same. Well, I've been sold! Both The Princess and myself have been using it a lot since! (Luckily we have similar hair color.) It's just a quick, effortless way to do your hair!!
I love messy buns, but the longer her hair gets, the harder it is for me to make one. This is so much easier. And so fast on school mornings!
Just pull the hair into a ponytail and wrap it all up into a bun. The best part is, you don't even need to worry much about what it looks like. The hair piece will cover up any little pokies or mistakes. I just wrapped a clear elastic around the bun and left the ends out where they wanted to go. This literally took me less than a minute and no bobby pins were involved. :)
The hairpiece we got is from Sally Beauty Supply and is called the Revlon Ponytail Swirlz Hairpiece for $7.99. They also have one called The Twister, but the color we wanted wasn't available at the store we went to. I've seen these all over though, not just at Sally's.
Anyway, it's super easy. You just wrap it around the bun a couple of times like you would a scrunchy and you're good to go. This is great for people with shorter hair too, like me. There was one morning I had to be somewhere and didn't have time to blow dry and straighten my hair. So I put my hair into a quick bun (which normally would look ridiculous and make me look pretty much bald) then threw this hairpiece in and actually looked somewhat presentable! If you have a little girl with short hair, this would be an easy way to make it look longer and fuller in lots of different hairstyles.
Here she is with her bun on the side and the hairpiece put in....
2 minutes and she's ready for school!

Last Day To Enter, and Paypal Woes. If You Tried To Order A Book, Please Read.
First up, it's the last day to enter our flat iron contest. I'll be drawing the winner tonight!
In other business: I've had 2 friends and a family member each tell me they purchased a hairstyle book, but I didn't receive an order from any of them in paypal. So, I went and tried to buy a book from myself to see what was up. I noticed that I had to click on the pay button 3 times before it finally went through!!!! So if you ordered a book, you should have received a "receipt" in email from paypal. If you didn't receive a receipt, the order probably did not go through. If you still want one, check your paypal account to make sure you weren't charged and then you'll need to order one again (and click on the pay button until it goes away.) Gah, sorry! I just didn't want anyone waiting on a book that I never got the order for.

Thanks!

Tween Hairstyle, Princess Braids
Oh gosh, I love this hairstyle! BUT, I'm not sure I love it on our little princess. It makes her look grown up and I'm not sure I like that! (She's only 6.) I want to keep her little. With that said though, I think this would be darling on a tween/teen or even for prom? I just love this "princess look" with the little braids in the front.
Btw, this is easy too. You don't even need to know how to french braid!Start with a part from ear to ear, parted on the side. And a temporary ponytail in the back.
Make 2 small sections next to your side part and braid both sections. Make one of the braids start towards the front of her head, and the other closer to the part.
Slick down the front sections of hair on both sides and including the braids, tie everything together underneath with a clear elastic.
Here's what it will look like from the side.....
Take out the ponytail and make a temporary small section of hair on top. (Like a small half pony.) 
Part out another section of hair behind the first one and rat! (I don't like to rat the princess's hair very often because it's a pain to comb out AND it seems to damage the hair if you do it a lot.) I would save something like this for a "once in awhile" thing, but that's just my opinion.Anyway, it's hard to rat and take pictures at the same time. If you don't know what I mean by "rat," hold up the section of hair and place a comb about halfway up. Pull down on the comb towards her head, bringing some of the hair down with you. Repeat this several times until.....
You end up with a big old mess like this!
Now you can bring the hair in the first section you parted out over the ratted mess and secure it with some bobby pins. These cute bobby pin flowers came from Every Little Detail. Of course you could just use regular bobby pins, but these flowers make this hairdo so much cuter! Make sure to place the bobby pins in an X pattern to keep them in place securely. We used 4 bobby pins, (2 X's) and this stayed in all day long.
I flipped the ends under slightly with our flat iron.
And one more picture from later on in the day. Because holy cow, I walked by and noticed she just looked so darn cute!
