Now that we are officially in our back-to-school routine, I am trying to keep our mornings organized and calm. Starting the night before at bedtime we set out our uniforms and clothes for the next day, pack our backpacks, check our homework and, in rare cases, prep or make breakfast. Starting the morning off organized usually keeps us on track and on time.
Now that the little lady is off to school too, we have to spend a few more minutes getting ready and doing hair. I have turned to a few simple hairstyles that I rotate throughout the week. While it's so easy to rush out the door with her long locks hanging in her face, I make a daily effort to get it out of her face so she isn't fussing with it all day long. Try these simple styles, add a bow or headband and you're set for the day!
ONE | Brush dry hair, using a curling iron or wand make large ringlets all over. Run fingers through hair and add a bow or headband. You can put the curls in at bedtime and run fingers through in the morning to save on time.
TWO | Brush dry hair back towards the crown of the head, add a headband, gently tease the crown to add volume and definition.
THREE | Start with a side part, twist or roll hair over to the opposite side and secure with a ponytail holder. Take the side pony tail, twist it and then wrap it around into a bun. Secure with bobby pins. Add a bow.
FOUR | This is very similar to three but with a braid. Start with a side part (I part it more to the side than usual for this style) and french braid it along the side of the head. Keep the braid going over the back of the head and end at the opposite ear. Secure hair with a ponytail holder, twist the pony tail and wrap into a bun. Secure with bobby pins. Add a bow or headband as an accent.
