30 Days, 30 Ways: Day 19

I'd like to preface this with an apology for my poor braiding skills today. It's been one of those days.

As most of you know, Ella donated her hair two years ago and she is planning to donate again next year. Her hair is pretty (okay, really) long right now, and we're always looking for new styles.
Thankfully, we found this site and now we are almost 2/3 of the way through the 30 days.

Day 19: The Fish Bone Braid
...or something like it.
We used: A brush, and an elastic
Ella's verdict (despite my crappy braiding skills): "Mom, I love it!" Or maybe she was just being nice.

Day 18: The Princess Twist
We used: A brush, detangler, an a clear elastic
Ella's verdict: "This is cool!"

30 Days, 30 Ways: Day 17

As most of you know, Ella donated her hair two years ago and she is set to donate again next year. Her hair right now is really long, and we're always looking for fun new styles (thankfully, there are a bunch of them right here)

We've committed to trying 30 ways in 30 days, so here we go!

Day 17: The Messy Bun
We used: A hairbrush, detangler, an elastic and 3 clippy things (because I'm not about to use a million bobby pins when someone's getting ready for school)
Ella's verdict: I like this one! A lot!
My verdict: Why the heck does her messy bun look like that and mine looks like Miss Trunchbull's hair from Matilda?

30 Days, 30 Ways: Day 16

Most of you know that Ella donated her hair two years ago (you can read about it here) and she's set to donate again next year. Right now, her hair is very long and we're looking for cool new things to do with it (we're trying awesome stuff from here ).

We're over the hump! More than halfway done!!!

Day 16: Two Flippy Buns
We used: A hairbrush and two elastics
Ella's verdict: "This is cute! I like it!"

30 Days, 30 Ways: Day 15

Yep, I missed posting yesterday, but we did do the hairstyle. When I came in from work, I was exhausted. It's been a very long week.

As most of you know, Ella donated her hair two years ago (you can read about it here) and she's donating again next October. We're always looking for cool new hairstyles, so we were glad to find this site with lots of cool tutorials.

We're officially halfway through!

Day 15: Knotties
We used: a hairbrush, some clips (the tutorial called for bobby pins, but ya'll, I was TIRED) and an elastic (for the ponytail in the middle of this mess)
Ella's verdict: "Thumbs up!"

30 Days, 30 Ways: Day 14

As most of you know, Ella donated her hair two years ago, and she's set to donate again next year. Her hair right now is pretty long, and we're always looking for new ways to style it.

Lucky for us, sites like this one exist just for that purpose. We found 30 ways of doing hair and by golly, we're gonna try them all.

We're two weeks in!

Day 14: Accessories
We kept it simple and all we used was a hairbrush and this flower clip
Ella's verdict: "Whew! That was easy! But I bet you're gonna mess with my hair more tomorrow..."
You got it, baby!
