My Little one's hair: Sun twists and messy buns

Hello all,

I've decided to start a blog about doing little girls hair since it is something that I love and something that I do EVERY morning.
To begin, let me tell you a little about my family!
My husband and I have two kids. A seven-year-old son and a five year old daughter.

I had been doing hair professionally for quite awhile. However, when we moved to a different state temporarily, I didn't want to get a new state license for just a short amount of time. I decided to take a break from professional hair while we were here. My daughter, though, is the age where her hair is just the right thickness and length to do all kinds of fun stuff, so I keep my skills in practice. I always get the famous question "How did you do that?" from a lot of people, so I thought I'd share.

I started this blog to help those moms who have a hard time doing their little girls hair and need some easy tips and ideas to make their daughters look done up for school or church. I probably won't have many fancy things here, like some other great blogs out there have; this will show the more simple and easy ways that I find to get hair done. I will also have some hair tips every once in awhile that I personally use. If any of you have any tips or different ways that you do things, please comment; it REALLY helps!

Sun twists and messy buns

This hairstyle takes a little bit more time but I think it's really cute.

To start I part the hair in the middle, then on top I take a section and part a square and clip back the rest. From that square I just made 5 parts starting from one side of the hair.

Then I did the french twist in each section.

Sorry this picture is a little fuzzy, but I think you get the point.

After that I did pigtails in the back, taking two twists on the left side (if you did your twist point on that side) and put that with the pigtail and the other 3 twists on the right pigtail.

After that I just did the messy buns on each side.

These messy buns are truly just messy buns, all I did was wrap the hair around and secured it with a rubber band and some bobby pins, I just pulled the loops out to make it look more messy.
