I gave them both hair cuts yesterday to see if more even hair would help. I also bought some new pony tail holders and clips and am going to see if that helps.</p> <p>Great idea about braiding M's hair. I never try because she's such a wiggle worm, but maybe if I plug her in to Mr. Rogers or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-better-at-doing-hair#post-1843530 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 14:20:20 +0000 matador84 1843530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love French braids, but I can only do them when hair is damp or wet. I run a detangler through hair before braiding. Could you do little top knots for the girls? YouTube helps a ton! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-better-at-doing-hair#post-1843487 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 12:42:01 +0000 tysonja 1843487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find doing French braids with ever so slightly damp hair helps it grip while you braid, and just practice like crazy! you'll definitely get better -- maybe commit to 2 weeks worth of French braids? :D sounds like M's hair would do great in braids :)<br /> great job, mama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-better-at-doing-hair#post-1843391 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 09:44:33 +0000 mrs. bird 1843391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: that looks adorable!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-better-at-doing-hair#post-1843388 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 09:39:57 +0000 loveisstrange 1843388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This lady has lots of ideas! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2LgZ_4GzSFQS-3a87_Jc6w" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2LgZ_4GzSFQS-3a87_Jc6w</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-better-at-doing-hair#post-1843381 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 09:27:41 +0000 Lindsay05 1843381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seriously wanted to post this myself. I cannot do my own hair let alone TWO little girls hair. I dont even know how to french braid. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-better-at-doing-hair#post-1843358 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 08:53:57 +0000 MamaG 1843358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Practice! LO's hair is about halfway down her back. And she doesn't have bangs, but doesn't like her hair in her face, so it's up 95% of the time. French braids, dutch braids, pig tails, twists, half braids. Cute Girl Hairstyles as suggested above has some good ideas. </p> <p>Fortunately, I can distract LO with a tv show and get her hair done. If she sits still, I can get it done (twin braids) in less than 15 minutes.</p> <p>I'd love to find a good bun style for her. She has long fine (but lots!) hair, that tends to slip easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-better-at-doing-hair#post-1843272 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 02:17:22 +0000 808love 1843272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUiXqIVEDAI" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUiXqIVEDAI</a> I just found a video for you! :-) Still don't know what it is called....and I didn't use bobby pins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-better-at-doing-hair#post-1843271 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 02:07:07 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1843271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: cool! Ballet actually prompted this question. I still don't understand exactly what you did, but it looks awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-better-at-doing-hair#post-1843263 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 01:25:56 +0000 808love 1843263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok I am super bad at my own wash and go hair but I stumbled upon this hairstyle with my daughter. I liked it and then when a ballet mom I just met asked me how to do it, I knew it was gold! Step one: you put two ponies, a low and high and then Step two: tuck the low end into the top or the high one until it gets stuck in a little basket. And that's all. One minute or less. I was trying to pull it through to make a flipped fancy pony (not sure the name) but it got stuck in a tucked bun like basket and it looked better. Anyway LO agreed to model-sort of-here she is being silly with her face in the couch. This is all I know so looking forward to hearing/seeing more ideas. :)</p> <p>[attach=1524/14/nb5r7a.600x448.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=1524/14/nb5r7c.600x448.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-better-at-doing-hair#post-1843250 Sun, 31 Aug 2014 00:11:21 +0000 anonysquire 1843250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YouTube videos!

All hair styles (like curls) slip out very quickly. Pony or pig tails have to be super tight so for your J I'd just recommend clips and bobbypins etc while she is so young. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-better-at-doing-hair#post-1843243 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 23:49:41 +0000 Mrs. Chocolate 1843243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im in the same boat, I dont know what to do to make Juliet's hair look good She has super fine hair and hates me touching and messing with her hair too. I need help bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/getting-better-at-doing-hair#post-1843240 Sat, 30 Aug 2014 23:40:19 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1843240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so ham handed. I just can't make good hairstyles for the girls. Between them wiggling and hating getting their hair brushed and my ineptitude at doing styles, my girls always look a little scraggly.</p> <p>Any tips on getting better at styling their hair? C often asks for a French braid, but mine often fall out after a short time and aren't even. She has a very challenging and prominent hair swirl at the front of her forehead.</p> <p> M. has a very challenging hair type too. When wet, it's zig zag curly, but dry it lays straight (but a frizzy straight). She doesn't fit AA hair advice and doesn't fit caucasian hair advice. The only way it looks really cute is with two high pigtails. Otherwise it looks messy.</p> <p>Please help me get better at hair! </p>
