Poof, Braids, and into Ponytail

First off I made a triangle shaped poof in the front of her head.  This is going to be the line you use for the french braids. 
Make a thin french braid along the poof line along both sides as show below.  Secure the ends with elastics.
I then put the all the hair into a ponytail.  To finish it off I wrapped some of her hair around the ponytail.

Infant Bows (How to get them to stay)

I just wanted to share some fun and important information I should have shared a long time ago.  There is a website mom-stuff  that gives better instructions but below is my attempt. 

For those of you that don't know this well known secret but little hair blows will stick to your infants head with Karo Syrup.  This product is great and doesn't hurt your infant and works better than the oil based products such as KY jelly.  The Karo Syrup also washes out easily.

Question 16

I have looked all over the area where we live and can not find the ringlet curling iron that you have in your post, or any ringlet curling iron at all. I do love the curls it makes to.

I have not looked locally for this curling iron since I purchased it over 5 years ago.  I did some research on the Internet and it looks like they have a new model out.  I have included a link to Target which has the new version, or just go onto google and type in "Conair Instant Heat Spiral Styler with Curl Press" that will give you a list of places to purchase a similar curling iron.

Walmart also has this exact curling iron on their website.  http://www.walmart.com/ip/Conair-Instant-Heat-Spiral-Styler-Curling-Iron/3999274?wmlspartner=GPA&sourceid=44444444440281551375

Angel Braid Bangs Back

My daughter is going through the "I want my hair down phase" 

This one is very similar to the other Angel Braid we did before except this one is keeping her bangs back and we added ringlets.

This braid is really easy once you understand how its done.  Start the braid as you would a french braid.  The only difference is you are only going to add hair from one side.  On her I made the 3 sections and then only picked up hair from the right side each time. 
Once the braid is in place I made ringlets with my straightening iron. 

Question 15

super cute such nice ringlets, too. How long do they stay in her hair?
 
I wash my daughters hair every other day, so as far as how long they stay in. I have had them last beautifully for 2 days with just a few touch ups on the 2nd day.  This is however only when I use the ringlet curling iron .  If I do her ringlets with a straightening iron they only last through the day.
