I have stick straight hair and hers is curly so she didn't know the first thing about how to style it. She'd perm it and could do basic ponytails and things, but she'd also cut my bangs noticeably crooked. I made sure as I got old enough, to learn how to do my own hair and I am actually really good at it now- it just took years of practice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107534 Sat, 31 Mar 2012 02:06:25 +0000 looch 107534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I am terrible. I can barely do my own, which is why I keep it on the shorter side. I can braid and do simple updo things and I love the fake hair pieces that you can add in to add extra volume. I love the Jessica Simpson ponytail. Sounds wacky, but it's really well done compared to some pieces out there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107441 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 21:50:21 +0000 BSB 107441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I'm bad at hair. I can do a pony tail, a bun and a half up/half down. That's pretty much it. I can do a simple braid (not a french braid) but that's so grade school! Haha. </p> <p>I can't do make up either. Really... anything beauty related is not my thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107440 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 21:50:01 +0000 cupcakemama 107440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I suck at it too. I have never really had long hair so never practised doing it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107435 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 21:46:48 +0000 Boogs 107435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I majorly suck at hair. At best I can do a pony tail. I wish I could actually curl hair and do other styles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107151 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 18:42:08 +0000 chopsuey 107151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Ooh. Good idea with the renting! I made mine with paper towels so the fronts are cute, but the backs not so much. HAHA. I have no idea what I'm going to do with my towers since the Labbit isn't your typical rabbit. It's LO's favorite stuffed animal. :T </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107149 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 18:40:12 +0000 mrs. wagon 107149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: haha yeah! I think I charged $60 per custom tower, and $35 per tower to rent (I rented out the animal and "chuk dol" one). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107148 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 18:38:35 +0000 chopsuey 107148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Mm.. true about baby showers.<br /> DH told me to make Dohl Towers and Banners and sell them, but they're so labor intensive and take such a long time. I'd have to sell each one for $100 at least to make it worth it. Pretty sure people aren't willing to pay that much per tower :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107146 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 18:33:40 +0000 mrs. wagon 107146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: hehe. Yeah, I put those up on etsy too and got a LOT of "favorites", but baby showers are not a very regular thing to buy for, so I got zero orders. </p> <p>I made dol towers for a few people but that's another hand-hurting thing! I did make some money with that though. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107145 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 18:32:09 +0000 chopsuey 107145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: HAHA. Doing the DIY stuff for my LO's 1st killed my hands. Dood. You could totally have sold those baby clothes bouquets. Such a cute idea. I've never seen anything like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107141 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 18:30:24 +0000 mrs. wagon 107141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: haha!! Too bad so many of them are useless. This is why I always say I'd want to start my own business... so many things I do, my friends tell me I should do for money. I do it a little, then I get sick of it or something stops me (I made jewelry for a while and sold on etsy, but it made my hands hurt so badly so I stopped) so I just end up doing stuff for fun and for friends. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107137 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 18:28:34 +0000 chopsuey 107137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Dang. You're a woman of many talents!!! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107134 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 18:25:58 +0000 mrs. wagon 107134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to do everyone's hair for our high school and college formals! I love doing hair. My mom was so bad at doing hair.. she tried, but she was really bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107096 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:59:22 +0000 chopsuey 107096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty good. I can do 3 different braids. Good at curling, straightening,.. I hardly ever do my hair though. Takes too much effort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107092 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:57:54 +0000 banana 107092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not bad at it. I used to practice a lot when I was younger. I can do french braids, fish braids, etc. And I also did some of my friends' hair for prom and things. I probably need more practice though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107084 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:54:38 +0000 bpcmarj 107084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am terrible at doing hair. Mine looks pretty good when I blow dry it with a round brush. But, I am terrible with hot rollers or a curling iron and even a straightener for that matter! I am hoping that it's different on someone else and that I can actually do my daughters hair someday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107059 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:35:13 +0000 heffalump 107059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: My mom had me cut my hair short in middle school because she just didn't know what to do with it. I was mistaken for a boy quite often. I will never do that to my LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107054 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:33:18 +0000 HabesBabe 107054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: LOL. My hair is usually down (after air drying) or in a ponytail. In school, my mom would either put it in a bun or a pontail-- so my parental hair skills will definitely be lacking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107052 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:31:59 +0000 heffalump 107052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I'm sure I can pull off a bun. But not sew, I'd have to get my mom to do that. </p> <p>@HabesBabe: My hair's always in a pony or LO will pull it. At least that's my excuse.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107050 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:30:08 +0000 HabesBabe 107050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can French braid, but I suck at styling hair. I blowdry my hair maybe once a month, and when I do, it just looks like blah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107046 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:28:33 +0000 Andrea 107046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: i know! i should make a goal...learn how to french braid is a good one. i was also thinking about what if my LO does ballet or something ... i'll be totally found out that i can't do hair or sew costumes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107041 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:25:18 +0000 heffalump 107041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Good, that makes me feel better. I love all things girly, but I just didn't get the doing hair gene. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107034 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:22:00 +0000 Andrea 107034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here. I think I posted about that. Youtube is a good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-good-at-doing-hair#post-107031 Fri, 30 Mar 2012 17:20:42 +0000 heffalump 107031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom sucked at doing hair. If we had an event to go to, she'd ask my sister's friend/neighbor to come over and do my hair. And of course I have the same skills as my mom. I don't even know how to French braid. Maybe I'll look up a youtube video to show me how when LO finally gets hair. </p>
