#27--Day Eight

*Disclaimer: I didn't take the pics right away today, so these styles are post-play hair. It looked a lot better when it was first done.*

Day Eight Holly: Today Holly's hair looked so cute with the curls from yesterday's style, so I just put it in a ponytail and let the curls hang down.


Taylor: One pony on top. I love her curls in the back!!!

#27--Day Seven

Day Seven Holly: Today Holly requested the same style I had. I did a high pony and then did three barrel curls and put a flower in. She loves it. :) Every day gets better with her. Today she didn't cry once while I was doing her hair! :D


Taylor: I did pigtails on top for Taylor today.

#27--Days 4-6

Day 4 Holly: I took an idea that my sister used a few days ago. I split Holly's hair down the center and then did 3 ponytails on each side connecting to the one above. I then did 2 zulu knots because Holly requested "crazy hair again."


Taylor: Can't go wrong with pigtails on top.


I didn't get pictures on day 5 so I will just tell ya what I did. Holly: I attempted to do a french braid that went diagonal across her head, but it didn't look good so I just put it in a half pony. Taylor: One pony on top.

Day 6 Holly: I did a fish braid, or in Holly's words "Shark braid".


Taylor: One folded pony on top. I don't know if that is really what it would be called, but instead of pulling her hair through the last loop I only pull half of it through.

#64-- Do a Photo Shoot

On May 27th I had the opportunity to do a photo shoot at school. My sister-in-law, Janessa, was daring enough to be my model. I had in my head an idea of a cut that I *really* wanted to do, and lucky for me Janessa was willing. I cut an asymmetrical style-which means that one side is longer than the other side. It turned out A.Maz.Ing! Her parents don't allow her to color her hair, but Paul Mitchell has a semi-permanent color that I learned you can mix into a hair spray and it basically makes it a wash-out color. (Think Halloween spray color.) I did some pink streaks in her hair and I love the result!
I'm so glad that I took advantage of this opportunity. I learned a lot and I also was able to gain some confidence in my knowledge.

#27--Day Three

Day 3 Holly: Pigtails ( She really didn't want her hair done today. Hoping it would make the process a little easier I let her choose what style she wanted.)


Taylor: Four small ponys. I was going to try to do the style where you do a pony and then split it in half and add it into 2 other ponies, but her hair isn't long enough to reach...

#27--Day Two

Day 2: Holly French Braid


Taylor: Pony in back and on top

#27 Do Their Hair Everyday for 1 Month (Day One!)

You'd think that with me in cosmetology school my daughters' hair would look amazing everyday. Well, I regret to inform you that this is not the case. Holly starts crying as soon as I get the brush out and most days I don't feel that it's worth the fight, so we brush her hair through the screams (usually from both of us), and every once in a while put it in a ponytail. All that is about to change...

I would like to direct your attention to Exhibits A-D. For the next 30 days (and hopefully thereafter) both of my girls are going to have that amazing hair that I dream about. Since Taylor's hair is still pretty short there's not a ton that I can do with it, so you may see the same-ish style most days. Holly, on the other hand, is going to have a new style everyday. (Have I mentioned that I'm a little crazy?)

So I invite you to witness the insanity as I post pictures of their marvelous manes everyday until August 6. Let the madness ensue!

Day 1 Holly: 2 Zulu Knots and a pony in back


Taylor: Pony on top
