Springtastic Day 4: The Side Knot

 Hi there!  Sorry that we didn't get up a post for our series yesterday.  Today, however, I'm going to show you how to do the side knot.  Yup, that's right.  You probably have heard of top knots, so I was thinking, why not a side knot?  They are very easy and look great with everything.

First, comb the hair to one side.  There shouldn't really be a part.  It should all be going to one side.

Pull the hair back until it's behind the ear and then start twisting it.

Then wrap it around into a bun shape.  Use hair elastics to hold in place and then use bobby pins to pin it close to the head.

If your doll has short or layered hair some strands will probably fall out.  That is totally ok.  In fact, that was the look we were hoping for.

And there you have it!  The side knot!

What do you think of the side knot?

Love,

Marisol

How to do the High Ponytail

Hi!  Today, I'll be showing how I do high ponytails.  High ponies are super cute and look great with almost every outfit.

Gather your hair on top of your head.  That's right, ON TOP.  (I recommend holding your doll upside down and then gathering the hair up with your free hand.)

Secure with a hair elastic.  Brush out the pony, remember to brush out the underside too.

Spread the hair out (like the picture below) and comb.  I recommend putting one hand around the elastic and laying the hair on top of the hand and then combing.  Fluff it out and adjust it until you like the look.

Doesn't it look so cute?

How to do Pin Curls

Hey everyone!  Today I was thinking of what to do for a post.  I just started trying stuff out with my hair and......Voila!  Pin Curls!  This are really quite easy and very pretty.

To start off, comb a section of your hair.  Make sure it's not a big section but also make sure it's not to small.

Twist the hair section in any direction you like.

Spritz the twisted hair strand with water.  Don't soak it or else it will take forever to dry but make sure you get it nice and damp.

Twist the twisted strand into a little mini bun.

Secure the end in with a bobby PIN.  (Now you see where we got the name?)

Finish of the rest of the hair with the steps above.  Woah!!!!! Isn't it just amazing????  But....we aren't done yet!  Though I am going to wear my hair like this sometime in the near future. ;) Spritz all of the little buns one more time.

Let the hair dry completely before taking the buns out. 

Ta da!  There you have them.  Pin Curls!!!!  I think these will be really cute for the spring!

Until next time,
Nadia☺

How to do Swedish Braids

Today, I (Kirsten) am going to show you how to do Swedish braids.  I wear these all the time since I'm Swedish.  They may look complicated to do, but they are actually quite easy.  These work best on dolls with long hair, but you can still try it if you have shorter hair.

First, split your hair in half and make two braids on the sides of your head.

Now, this is the part that can get complicated so pay attention.  You will find there is a little "hole" underneath the braid.  (Where the finger is.)

Tuck the end of the braid in the hole and shove upward until it will stay in place by itself.  Repeat on the other side.

It will look like this.  Then take some ribbon and tie in a bow around the braid at about the top of the ear.

You just did Swedish braids! 

Have fun wearing them,
Kirsten

Make a Felt Hairbow

 Another easy DIY to help you get ready for Valentines days!  This is so simply and cute!  Make some in a bunch of colors!
You Will Need:
Felt
Hot Glue
Scissors
Bobby Pin
Pen

On the felt, draw to triangle shapes and connect them.  This is for the bow shape.  Cut it out.

Cut out a long, skinny rectangle.

Wrap the rectangle around the middle of the bow shape and hot glue it in the back.  Make sure to not hot glue the rectangle to the bow part.  Slide in a bobby pin.

And you're done!  These can make cute Valentines Days gifts too!
