I must confess. I'm no good at cool, cute, stylish hair styles. I try, but my mom taught me the classics. Things like, when you make a ponytail, you make it smooth. So, I've been concerned about passing this on to my daughter. She likes to be somewhat stylish, and I just can't swing it.
This is after she wore it to school all day too!
By chance I found this awesome hair blog. There, she has links to many more hair blogs. Some so cute ideas, and simple steps in how to do it!
All the girls now a days like the "messy bun". I've had my own version for 15 years, but it's not quite as cute as theirs. After hitting several blogs, I figured it out! Here's Alyssa & a messy bun, plus the "poof" on top.
This is after she wore it to school all day too!I figured out the poof too! I know, it's a nobrainer, but this just shows you how "ungirly" I really am! I knew there had to be an easier way than combing back. (which I was always taught was "just a rats nest")
Project #2 was Ms. Avery's hair. Her's took a bit more time, but it really wasn't all that bad. This one is a braided heart. The girl do's lady had several different versions of this. This one didn't turn out as well. But I'll keep at it! Avery sure loved it (once we finally got where she could see it! lol)

CUTE! I'm like you. I'm scared to death to have a girl cause I'll be the lamest mom ever.
I remember my mom used to do a "Butterfly" with my hair. I don't know how well it'll work with shorter hair (mine was to my butt).
You part the hair donw the middle top to bottom. You put each side in a tight(smooth) ponytail in the center of the back of the head (if that makes since).
Then you make a roll. . . kind of like a hotdog bun. You fan out the hair and roll it from outside the ponytail to the center of the part. Do each side this way and they look like wings with the part as the body.
I know it took her a lot of practice to get it but I sure liked it when I was younger.
I also think you can do it with out the ponytail but it's a bit harder.
