Hair Today: Three Water Spouts

Why I Do My Daughters Hair

For as long as I remember, I have loved pretty hair. Hair that had been combed and smoothed and placed in just the right way. I love going to church and seeing little girls looking pretty.

Then I had daughters of my own. I enjoy doing their hair. It is five to ten minutes just us. I lovingly comb out their hair and play with it and we talk. It is very intimate to me. I have had some of the best conversations with my daughters while styling their hair in the mornings.

When I became sick with my last pregnancy, that is what I missed the most. I missed the touching and the hugs and the conversation that I had with my girls.

I started this blog because I love to create and as life gets busy, I don't get to do all of the fun things that I used to do and this is a creative outlet for me.

So, if I am creating hairstyles, I might as well take pictures and share them with others. What good is an idea if it isn't shared?

So enjoy my little corner of the internet.

Three Water Spouts

I have a new favorite product. Garnier Bold It Power Putty! It makes pulling my Spunky's wisps away from her face SO much easier.

I should buy stock.

I sprayed the front of her hair lightly and pulled some of this stuff through. A little goes a LONG way...so don't use too much.

Then I parted her hair and pulled it into three ponytails...that I affectionately call "Water Spouts" on curly haired children.

Then I made my Spunky's hair curly by slowly pulling the flat iron through. It took all of three minutes.

I put pre-made bows on each ponytail. Voila!
