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.

Toddler Pull Thru Headband

Because of how thin and fine her hair is I only did 4 pull thrus across the front of her head.
Below shows one of these

Continue across the front of her hair line to make a headband.

Below is a picture of the top of her head. This is simple quick and looks very cute.

Tragedy of the Camera



So tragedy stuck me this weekend.
My camera decided it needed to be cooled off
and landed in the deep end of the swimming pool.


I will be getting a new camera very quickly so hopefully it will be a very short delay in hairstyles.

Thursday

Pull Thru Headband


Take small sections of hair and pull the hair through to give the twist look. Do this all the way around the front of her head. We did 6 across the front to make a headband.


This is a picture of what the style looks like from the top of her head.

Wednesday

Side Messy Bun

She wanted me to take a full body picture so she could pose.

This is going to be a diagonal hair style that ends with a side ponytail or messy bun.
Start with a downward slope part and pull the hair through to give it a twist look.

Make a 2nd diagonal part parallel to the first ponytail. Do the same thing and pull it through to give it a twist. Then take the remaining hair and pull it into a ponytail. We made hers into a messy bun because it was PE day and she wanted it out of her way. We did add a large flower but we didn't get a picture of the flower we placed it on the right side of her messy bun.

This picture is a shot of her head from the right side.


Below a picture from the left side of her head

Monday

Princess Braid.

This braid is very fun and simple. The most difficult part is getting it to stay tight. You start like a normal braid the only difference is that when you go to add the hair on the downward side leave the folded across hair out and add the new hair only. This style we did both sides of her hair the same.

Friday

Wrap Around To Side Ponytail



We started with a headband with a bow on it. To keep the headband in I decided to pull a puffy bang over the top of the headband. I secured the bangs back with small bobbie pins




Next make a wrap around the bottom of her hair start by rolling a small amount of hair and then adding small sections of hair. Secure with an elastic

Take a small piece of hair and wrap around the ponytail.

We then added a flower for fun.


Wednesday

Puffy Braids






Start by making a row of small ponytails that looks like a headband across the front of her head.

Then take the first row of ponytails and split them into 2 pieces. Make 2 more smaller squares and add the far side ponytails and include it into the 2nd row.


Here is what it looks like from the top of her head. If you need further instructions please ask this one is difficult to explain.

Tuesday

Toddler Puffy Headband

This is very simple and she got so many compliments on this wild hairstyle. All I did was made very small parts and pulled them back into as straight of a line as I could and secured the ponytails with elastics. The finished product looks similar to a headband.


Wednesday

Triangle Part to Bun



Make triangle parts all the way around the front of her head. The picture belows shows how this is done.


Take all the triangle parts and pull the ends into one ponytail.
Make small hairs with the hair in the ponytail and twist them tight as shown below. Use the twisted hair to make a messy bun.

This picture shows how the hair looks once it is twisted.

We then added a flower to the side of her bun. The picture below shows what it looks like from the top of her head.

Tuesday

Fun Updo!!

This is a fun up do that has so many different angles so I will do my best to explain step by step.
I started by making corn rolls 3 of them diagonally across the front of her head

There are a couple of ways to make the rolls I took the all the hair I wanted rolled and held it out then began twisting until it was tight against her head. The other method is similar to a braid you start rolling and adding hair until you have the length you want

Once the rolls are secured in place I made triangle parts all around the outside of her head.


Then take the hair that was left in the middle and put it into a ponytail.

Now start pulling the triangle part ponytails and leave 2 small pieces of hair out and pull the rest into the middle ponytail. (I hope the picture below helps explain what I mean)

Take the pony tail and twist small pieces of hair to give it a messy bun look. Still leaving the stray strands of hair from the triangle parts out.

Now take the stray strands of hair and make ringlets out of them.

Then pin the ringlets around her hair to give the hair a much fuller look

Below is a side picture of the finished product.

Thursday

Angel Braid

An Angel braid is very similar to a regular braid. The only difference is that you only pull hair from one side instead of both sides. All I did on this one is a small angel braid across the top of her head.

This is fun simple and really cute.

Wednesday

Twists

I did a far side part and then made 3 twists on one side


2 twists on the other side and then combine them together with an elastic.

Ribbon Braid Headband

I made a very small ponytail with an elastic and pulled the ribbon through to make my starting point.

Then take the ribbon and separate it into 2 one side of the ribbon on 2 of the 3 french braid strands. Then french braid as normal across the front of her head.


I secured the end with an elastic and then tied the ends of the ribbon into a bow. She loved this style because so many people complimented on how cute it looked.
