After our busy weekend, we have had a couple low key days mostly at the apartment with a couple trips to the park thrown in. Today I decided to tackle the girl's hair. This is a multi-hour process and one that both the kids and I have to be up to.
Yesterday I was searching for some styles online and ran across a blogged called Chocolate Hair Vanilla Care and I loved it. The women who writes the posts does a great job, very detailed and good photos. She does yarn extensions in her daughter's hair and they look amazing. I read her post about putting them in and she started at 9am and finished at 6pm (with a couple breaks for meals and a nap)! It inspired me to try some new styles on Luna and attempt to do Rachel's hair in a more complicated style. I won't be doing any extensions (at least for a while) but I am ready to try some new techniques.
Rachel's hair is getting long enough now that I have to do something with it and she does not like it combed out each day. I can't blame her, it does not feel good. But I need to start getting her use to the whole process. I have never done her hair in much detail. So today I decided to give it a try and see how she did. Overall it was great I am just concerned by how long it will last. I am shooting for a week but I don't think it will make it.
There is nothing complicated about Rachel's hair just braids. It looks a bit like french braids but it is not. She loves the butterfly clippies in her hair. She keeps saying "I am a butterfly."
I used a new technique on Luna called a rope twist and made a veil design. Luna is pretty easy to please about her hair, her only request is typically piggy tails. So she likes this one because it has two puffs (pig tails).
I think it would be super cute with big scrunchies for each puff. Right now I don't own any scrunchies but I may have to go shopping online.
Both girls sat very nicely for me, we watched a couple shows and they were happy. How long did it take? We started at 9am and were done by noon, that is fast for me! Now they are napping so I just hope the styles hold up :)
