Just sharing what I do when I have to dash out the door... a simple and pretty 'do

Okay, so with me going back to school (just started last week) and Ruthie having had a bad cold and now her brother being sick with it, I haven't had a lot of time for hair.

So, we've been falling back on a great standby... the fishbone braid (for those who have never done it, please see this video - http://www.clipsyndicate.com/video/playlist/137/142015?cpt=8&title=dancescape_fashion_tv&wpid=0 - it is not mine, but it is very informative)

As we are still working on growing out Ruthie's bangs, I first secured the top with an elastic (sometimes I'll add bobby pins or clips to help get all the hair... other times, I'll do two ponies on top... )

For this day (Easter Sunday... we went after our big dinner and when I got her ready, I did this simple do) I then added two bobbies to help keep the pony secured and then did the basic fishbone braid.  I'm still working on my french fishbones, as they are harder with the bangs not grown out...

Anyway, this style is always elegant, easy, and lasts all day (even at the park)... She slept in this and it was still great the next day (though I did spritz it to help flyaways that morning).
