Headband - Still my favourite

Out of all the fancy hairdos and things we do with Kenz's hair, I have to admit the simple braided headband is my absolute favourite. It doesn't matter whether it's french braided or dutch braided, twist braided or any other braided, I just love the way it always looks so clean and shows off most of her hair without having to do much. I also love that a french or dutch braided headband usually lasts at least 2 days in our house. Doesn't she look cute? (Dutch braided headband, with off centre part):



Sorry for the blurry pics, but you get the idea!

Just Some Braids

This is honestly nothing special, more than anything just to share why I haven't been posting new styles lately... Since I've been back working full time again it has been hard enough for me to get everyone out the door on time in the mornings so this has been a frequent hairdo over the summer. It is good for swimming, for dad, for when we're just plain busy. Put simply it's just braids. I don't use product in her hair to hold them in so we usually keep them 3-4 days, and then leave her hair down (or a simple style) for a few days. Since I've relaxed alot on her hair the parts aren't as straight as they could be, they get a little fuzzy, and they are definitely NOT tight.

Here's the most common way I've been braiding her hair - 1 braid across the front, 6 braids down the back:

Side Dutch Braids

I know, it's been a while since I've blogged! Let's just say it was a super busy summer and leave it at that okay?! Anyways, now that school is back in and I'm settled into my new job, I'll probably be blogging regularly again... I know I know! I keep saying that! Anyways, today's do isn't so much a tutorial as it is a brag post.
Why is it a brag post? Because I've been working really hard all summer long to teach myself to dutch braid. I've been able to french braid forever but for some reason dutch braiding is so much harder for me. So I know it's not perfect but here is an example of one of my fave dutch braid dos. Three to the side, into a messy bun: Top view:
