I just wanted to let everyone know the story of The Wright Hair. I am fairly new to blogging about hair but I have been doing my little girls hairstyles since the day my oldest daughter was born. The first thing out of the doctors mouth was I hope you ordered a girl full of hair. When my 2nd daughter arrived we were not so lucky with the hair genes. She has thin short hair. It was with the frustrations I had trying to do my 2nd ones hair that I decided to start this blog. I figured if I struggled this much there must be others struggling too. I am a working mom and getting my girls ready every morning is the best time of the day for me. This is a time we get to bond without other distractions. Right now my girls and I are enjoying our time together. I am sure it will only be a short time before my oldest wants to do her own hair. But for now we invite you to join us on the Wrights Journey through hair. Because of being a working mom, sometimes we will do fancy dos and sometimes quick dos, other times the do's are dont's but we welcome everyone to come along for the ride.

Tuesday

Updo


Make 2 diagonal parts across the bottom of the hair. Then take the middle section and secure with an elastic.


WE have a very far side part in the front of her hair. Take the front hair and pull it down to the ear and secure with an elastic.

The picture above and below are the hair in the front of her head pulled down to her ears.


Take all the remaining hair and pull it into a ponytail. Don't pull the hair all the way through.


I use the remaining hair to pull around the elastic to hide the elastic. We then put in one of our favorite bows to give it the finishing touch.

Luau Hairstyle Toddler

The Luau hairstyle comes from a special request. I was honored that she asked me to come up with a style. I hope this is what she had in mind. My daughter has very fine, thin hair.

I decided to make a headband out of puffy braids. I started by her left ear making a straight line across the top of her hair with small square parts. The picture below shows the headband halfway across.

This is how I ended the headband. I then put a flower clipped in to give her the Hawaiian look


Below is how cute the Luau Hairstyle turned out from different views.


Another Luau Style for More Hair

A Fun Headband for Girls with Longer Hair

The picture below is not very good but it was the only one I took at this step.

Start by making small square parts across the front of her head. Once these are put in place pick a ribbon and lay it behind the first row of small ponytails.

Then make another row of small ponytails and take a small piece from the front row of ponytails to give a diagonal look across the ribbon. Not only does this look cute but it helps to secure the ribbon and keep it in place.

Then we put a flower by her ear. I let my daughter pick out the flower that is why it is purple.

Thursday

Fancy Updo

This is not the best picture of the front of her hair I will get a better one.

This works best if the hair is wet. Take a small section of hair at the base of her head.




Then make a part and pull up each section of hair and pull it through to give the twist look.







Take another small section of hair on top of the one you just did. Make 3 equal parts and do the same step make a twist in each of these.




Then take the front of her hair and make a side part. Pull the hair down to her ear and put a twist through them one on each side.






Pull all of the hair into 2 pigtails then take half of each of the pigtails and secure together and twist them.


Take the reaming hair and make a messy bun leaving some hair hanging out. Curl these pieced of hair to get this beautiful updo below. This is a picture of the side of her hair



This is the view from the back of her head.

Monday

Zig Zag Pigtails Toddler

Just make a zig zag part down the center of her hair.

Then secure each side with an elastic.

Thursday

1st Day of School Hair

As I am sure you can tell we now have bangs so we did a simple first day of school hairstyle.
She got all new bows (these bows match her school outfits perfectly. The bow for this outfit had the same beads that are on the neck of this dress.) She was determined to wear the matching bow this morning so we did a simple small braid on each side of her head. Then I put them together with an elastic and put the bow on.
Simple cute and she looked beautiful for her first day of school.

If anyone is interested the bows are from the website www.mom-stuff.com . All of her bows were custom made to match all of her new school clothes.

Tuesday

French braid Updo

A Fun Up do.

Make a center poof in the front of her hair.

Make 2 separate small french braids on both sides of the head.

Then pull the remaining hair up into a ponytail. I didn't pull the ponytail all the way through.
Then wrap a small piece of hair around the ponytail

This is what it looks like from the top of her head

Friday

Part 2 Pigtails

First do the Part 1 parallel pigtails. Once that is done pull the sides up and make a puffy braid. Do the same to the other side.

Below is a picture of one side of her hair. (I didn't get a picture of what it looks like from the front)

Thursday

Parallel Pigtails Toddler Part 1

Its as simple as it sounds I took the front part of her hair and secured it with and elastic on to the left side of her head. Then took the 2nd part and secured it on the right side of her head.

Monday

Twists

5 Total Twists. 3 on one side 2 on the other, with a diagonal part.

Place a diagonal part down the middle of her hair to get your middle part.
I don't like middle parts. One side of her hair has more so we did 3 twists on this side and 2 on the other side.

Here is a picture of 2 of the twists.


Here is a picture of the side with all 3 twists.

Diagonal Puffy Braids Toddler

Her hair is so fine that we continue to try different hair styles. I made 2 diagonal parts parallel to each other. Then start with 1 elastic and make puffy braids back we used 3.
My toddler is not a very good model so this is the only picture I got.

Wednesday

Braids

Make a zig zag part down the entire length of her hair.
French braid down each side all the way to the ends.

After the braids are complete the pictures below show how to pull the ends of the braids up and secure the whole thing with an elastic. Then separate the ends to give a flare look. (This hairstyle was given to me by a good friend. My daughter spent the night with her and this is how she did her hair. Thanks Brit)

Friday

When Toddlers do their own Hair

Here is what happens when you your toddler does her own hair.

I have a character for a 2 year old and all I can do is love her. At least she didn't cut it.



Thursday

Twists into ponytail

I apologize about the poor quality of these pictures. It looks like a setting on my camera got switched. (These pictures don't show how cute this hair style really is)

I did a diagonal part. I took each side and first made 2 twists on the top section. As shown below.

Then I made a 3rd twist (or pull through). Do this to both sides.
Take each of those 3 and twist them as shown below. Once they are twisted secure with an elastic. Do the same on both sides and then combine the sides together.

This is a great hairstyle if you are trying to grow out your daughters bangs or if they decide to cut their own hair.

Tuesday
