Wak Oentoenk

Once again I apologize for not getting these posted before the holiday.  This one would be cute without the 4th of July accessories.  The ideas for the hair accessories came from my favorite mom site.  The link is http://www.mom-stuff.com/public/301.cfm

The reason I included the picture below is because the part is very important for the braids to lay right. 

The first part is from ear to ear then pull the back hair into a ponytail out of the way.

Then make a diagonal part as shown below.

Start with the part on the right side (looking at the picture above)  The reason for this is the left side is going to overlap the right braid.  French braid from her ear to the center of the part as shown below.

Next french braid the left side all the way up to the center part.  This braid overlaps the first braid.

Below attach the braids together with an elastic.

Then we added the fun 4th of July accessories we made.  http://www.mom-stuff.com/public/301.cfm

The picture below shows all the accessories we made to match.  Her hair accessories, her belt and also her flip flops were taken from http://www.mom-stuff.com/public/301.cfm

I apologize I didn't get these posted before the 4th of July.  Things have been crazy for us this summer.  You can use these for other Holidays such as the 24th if you live in a state that celebrates. 

I didn't do anything really fancy with her hair it was all about the accessories with her. 

I made a zig zag part and then put her hair into pigtails  The hair accessories were secured with the fun sidewinders http://www.hairholders.com/ The sidewinders made the accessories stand up.  I was going for the fire work affect with her hair.

We got the instructions for the hair accessories from http://www.mom-stuff.com/public/301.cfm. 

   My daughter got so many compliments.  Also the flip flops and belt she is wearing came from the same website.  We are going to try them in different colors because they were so cute.

We are so excited that Make it or Break it is back on.  One because my daughter loves to watch it and two I love Lauren's hairstyles.  She is not very nice, but they always have her hair done really cute.  So after Monday's episode here is our version of her hair.

Below is the top of our finished hairstyle

Below I posted a picture of how I made the first parts.  A far lateral part and then one along the ear lines.  I pulled the rest of the hair into a ponytail to keep it out of my way.

Then I started making a roll along the back part line.  This is similar to braiding but you use 2 strands.  You only pick up from the front as shown below.  Continue rolling all the way to the ear, then secure with an elastic.  Do this to both sides

Below shows the roll farther along so you can see how to make the roll.

Then pull all the hair into a ponytail. 

I did this while her hair was wet so when the ponytail drys then put some ringlets in.
