Hearty Hairdos
I’ve never been great at doing hair. I always had long hair growing up, and people liked to do my hair, but being the subject, I never learned how to do that myself. So I made an extra effort this week to try out new hairdos on the girls, focusing on heart designs, which I got from this hairstyle blog. Even though it took me a long time, and the hairdos are far from professional, the girls were both thrilled with the results.
This is the reason I put forth the effort. I love those smiles!
Those are 4 little hearts from today in Natalie’s hair.
The one day I fixed Natalie’s hair in a heart before school Jon had the camera, so this was taken with my phone :o( These are a lot harder to do than people make them seem!
Amy’s hair from today. I should’ve made the middle pony higher so it would look like a heart. Amy’s hair is harder to do because it is shorter and very thick.
Amy’s Thursday hairdo
Amy had a hard time being patient with me. She’d keep asking “Which picture are you on, Mom? Are you on this one yet?” as I followed along the web tutorials.
Amy’s hairdo on Monday. OK, this is the first time I’ve done any French braids in her hair. So pulling off a heart was pretty tricky! Her hair is so, so thick, but so beautiful! I learned from this and was glad that she felt extra pretty and special even though it wasn’t perfect.
