Do the Do

Hair do, that is.

What is my favorite thing about having a girl? Dressing her up? Nah – I did a lot of that with Vince (dressing him up like GQ man, baby Gap models, etc)

It’s doing her hair. It’s been a lot of fun (although I’m anxious for it to get longer and thicker so I can do some French braids or something!) Right now I mostly just clip back her bangs, for pull them back in a half pony and flip them under. But back in the summer when I was bored to death, I did a few neato hair dos (the one with the braids was inspired by this website).

This one I love, but was kind of messy the first time I did it. We did this do again later, and it turned out a little better. I want to do it again, but I left all my little rubber bands at MIL’s house, so I’ll  have to wait until I can get some more, or until I get those back. Some day.

I absolutely loved this one. Next time I will make the braids a little neater, and try to do the back ones closer to the front ones. Hey, I’ve only had a boy for 2 of the last 3 1/2 years, and Joseline hasn’t always had a lot of hair. Remember? It takes a little practice to get these things down!

I love the little half piggies. And the braids helped keep her bangs from falling out of the piggies. I want to do this one again.

I need to start making it a goal to do Joseline’s hair every morning. I never really had to do anything with Vince’s hair, but if I don’t take care of Joss’, it ends up in a matted, dirty mess in her face.

Do you have a good website or book you use to learn hair dos for your little girl? Do you just experiment and find something that looks cute?
