Hair Today: Growing Out Bangs...Making it Match

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.

Growing Out Bangs...Making it Match

This little one starts her second year of preschool in a couple of weeks and it's time to start training her hair. She has started having a VERY big opinion about her hair. I can't cut it, and she wants "no more bangs" and either VERY straight or "magic wand curlies". I am a little back and forth on this one. She has such a big forehead that I feel she just looks better with bangs. Plus they are so little girly that it makes me feel a little sad.

Sometimes it's as easy as tiny ponytails in colors that match her outfit.
