Leave me a comment and then head on over to http://lilypiedesigns.com/ to find the perfect accessory for your sweetie pie this Christmas!

Oh, and the hair do?

Part the hair into three sections. I start at the ear and go across the head to the other ear.

Pull the top section into a ponytail on one side and the bottom one into a ponytail on the same side.

Pull both into the middle section and secure with an elastic. I pulled the hair into a messy bun.

Top off with some darling butterfly clips that are too cute for words!

Four Messy Piggies All In A Row

Divide the hair in the middle of the head

Part the hair right where the temple starts.


Pull the hair up into a little ponytail being careful to only pull the hair half way through the last time you pull it out.

Repeat until you have four messy ponies (I know I put piggies on the title, it flows much better than ponies)

Curl the ends of the hair.

Fluff hair and spray it.

Add pre-made bows or ribbons for a finishing touch.

A twist with well, a twist.

Remember THIS twist tutorial and THIS messy ponytail? Today we combined them.

It was super fun to do such a small twist on Tess's hair. We did this on her sister yesterday using all of her hair, but since Tess has shorter locks, we did it with only half of her hair.

One more...

I did the same thing to Miss Amelia's hair, but it just didn't feel right today, so we did some more...on the bottom. When I pulled the bottom hair together, we just pulled it up to the top twist and put another rubber band. To make it easier, you could just do two messy ponytails and tie ribbons around them individually. Oh, that would be cute! I may have to do that tomorrow. It would give a lot of length to a cute hairstyle!

Loopy Messy Bun

Get out those bobby pins girls, we're going to make loops today.


Start with a ponytail

Section out a part of the ponytail. I made five sections with hers.

Loop the section up over the ponytail...like so.

Here is where the bobby pins come in handy. Use the bobby pins to secure the loop to the hair. When you put the bobby pins in, cross them. It helps them to stay secure and not slip. Don't worry about the end of the hair...we will fix that later. Just push it to the side and ignore it.

Loop the rest of your sections. See all that stray hair? Here is where we fix it.

Pull the ends up through your loops. I did this by dividing the ends in half and putting each half out the side of it's loop. You can stop right here if you want to because I love the messy look. But my daughter doesn't, so we kept on going.

I curled each of the ends with my trusty flat-iron.

Then I sprayed the heck out of it with hairspray because it was a rainy day and her hair doesn't do so well in the rain.

Then added flowers to the top.

Now, I should have fluffed each of the curls to give it a messy look...but as I said, it was a rainy day and that would have just been a big old mess because we went to lunch and shopping. I didn't want to deal with a big old mess.

Spikey French Braids with a Zig-Zag Part

So I took a stab at the flippy ends. This is what happened.

She likes her hair crazy for soccer. That is my fault. I told her soccer players have crazy hair. I don't think I was lying.

The only difference between this one and the one a few posts down is the part.

Flippy Ponytails

Divide the hair into two ponytails, on your last pull through the elastic, only pull it through partway. Then curl the ends. Her hair is almost too long for this.
