These updos were so fun to do! First of all the girls (sisters) were fun and willing to try anything. Although they are sisters they have very different hair! Jana (below) has thick brown naturally curly hair while Leah (above) has blonde very straight hair. The updos are very similar although done differently. Jana's is more "messy" and Leah's more "refined". I also weaved a ribbon through Jana's updo to show some variation. On the top and in front we tied knots in Janas hair and kept strictly to the loops in Leah's. These are good examples of how you can make a style uniquely your own by adding or changing aspects of the composition while maintaining the overall look you want. Thanks girls!

Easy.


These pictures are of my 3 year old niece Layla. We just braided her hair and then flipped the braid upside down and secured it with a few pins to look like a bun. It's a very fast updo which can be very beneficial when working with small girls.

Swept away.


My twin sister is in town visiting and so we had some fun playing with her hair. Like me, she has very thin hair and so we opted for something loose to give her some fulness while sweeping it up. This is so simple. We just gave her a low french braid and secured the end with bobby pins. The flower just gave it an extra flair but without it, it is still very elegant. The whole thing only took a few minutes. Thanks Lu!
