It's been awhile... but here's a quick and easy "keep the hair out of the face" do

Okay, so it's been awhile... mostly because after my last post, I went back to school and my little model wanted her hair cut... short... we did a graduated bob that, at it's longest, was jaw level, so it has taken awhile to grow out and then be evened out again.  But now she wants it to grow out and she wants pretty things in her hair again, and with me done with all that school work (but looking for a job), we have time to blog again!

Today we went to the Dentist, so before we left, I wanted to do something quick and easy to keep her hair out of the way while she was playing and while she'd be getting her teeth cleaned.

I took the rat tail comb, went about 1-1.5" from the front of her head... and, starting at her part, I went straight down to her ear... I then just did a regular braid, braiding until I was almost out of hair from the shortest piece.

I then held it in my fingers and put them against her head to find the hair that would be just under where I wanted it to stay... and pulled a small amount (less thick than the braid) and bound them together with a band to anchor it... and voila... simple, fun, cute, and keeps hair out of the face!  She loved it and I think it will be our go-to for getting ready for school.
