The first style incorporated Rolling Twists which look very nice and give the appearance that a lot of time was invested. I think the reason it did not take Des and I a long time to do this style had to do with the fact that we were doing it at the end of a week before we co-washed her hair again. I think the thing that probably took me the longest is making sure the parts matched and the angle at which they were made were as close to being like the opposite side. I know the next time we do this style we will be doing it immediately after washing /detangling and we will use holding product of some sort. I feel like it came out well all things considered.
The second style was how we salvaged her hair after the rubber band broke on her Stretching Veil style. I just removed all the rubber bands except the ones in the front and put her head band in. Once I had the head band in I crossed the sections of hair and re-secured them again in a different pattern over the head band. I gathered the remainder of her hair in a ouch less ponytail and braided it. Once it was braided, I put it in a braided bun. We were going to be out and it was too hot for her to have her hair out.
I really enjoyed this Hair Carnival and I hope that you enjoyed seeing my interpretation of Untrained Hair Mom's styles. She has great information and holds fantastic giveaways on her Blog so be sure to check her out, you will be glad you did.
Until the next time...Stay Blessed.
Skills to pay the bills, mami!! YOU GO HEAD!!! Des is gorgeous, as always!

Cuuuute!! I love how you were able to salvage the style!
ReplyDeleteOoo very pretty. I especially love the criss-crosses over the headband. Yet another style I'll be copying...!
ReplyDeleteOh those are both so cute!! Fabulous job, the parting is great!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Char. I wish I could pay my bills doin' some hair.
ReplyDeleteBraid with Me, a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do. This is one of those times that I had even less time then normal. LOL. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGoldilocks*n*Me, I actually did one of your styles a while back. I am going to have to do a post on it. I will definitely tag it back to you. I am going to have to get some more styles from your page.
ReplyDeleteUntrained Hair Mom hearing those words coming from you make me like I did your 'do justice. Glad you thought the parts were good, it is hard sometimes cause the right side of her hair has a wonderful cowlick right in the front.
Beautiful job on both!
ReplyDeletePrecious, Thank you so much. We enjoyed doing it.
ReplyDeleteLove both of these styles. I haven't tried a veil style (yet!) and I love the look of those rolling twists - you did a great job with Untrained Hair Mom's style!! And, as an aside, Des's hair looks amazing in your header picture - is that the one with the Queen Helene creme? Love the curl definition!!
ReplyDeleteI love all these styles!! I really want to try a veil style on my girls!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mama M, you should try a veil style. They tend to grow on you. It always you to make lots of interesting designs too. As for rolling twist we like them too but they look much better with some kind of holding product in her hair while doing them. Yes, the header is the pic of Des with QH in her hair. It definitely does a great job at defining curls.
ReplyDeleteAllthingscuteandgirly...<3 <3 <3 back atcha.
ReplyDeleteTracey, I am willing to bet money that you will like them when and if you ever try them. Thank you.
No matter what you do, it looks good! I have been wanting to try this style on princess for awhile i have been lazy! Des is so gorgeous
ReplyDelete@DiaryofaHairPrincess....Awwww, you sure know how to make someone's day. Thank you on both things. Your Princess is beautiful too.
ReplyDelete@Nikki thank you so much. Des loved them too and in the end that makes a huge difference.
ReplyDeleteGREAT job!! I just love her smile :) and her hair! and those rolling twists are FAB. <3 I love headband styles like that, too - they seems so clever and tricky and unique, yet they're so easy! ;-)
