Visit in heaven

I went to hairdresser today. It's one of the most relaxing things in the world when someone is doing your hair! I got my roots made more dark and ends more blond, in between some highlights are added. As a cherry on the cake my hairdresser made me these soft curls and waterfall braid going round the head.

 I just simply love this!

Festive time of year

Christmas time is of course always festive but even more so with all the birthday parties we are invited to. Today we celebrated first birthday of my friends little princess, she was just adorable! I made my friends hair for the party.

Rock n roll me

I guess this is as rock n roll I get! 

I just love this style, I think it would be great if I was going out. I actually did have a small party today, we had a small Christmas party with the other mums. I wouldn't call that as going out partying, though!

That Christmas feeling

I want to post my hair pictures separately from the last one, with the little princess in it, I think she deserves her totally own post!  Lately, I've fallen in love with four strand braids. I think four strand braids make my hair look thick and they are  fairly easy to do.  Braids have anyway been my favorite for a long time now. This is my style of today, I have four strand dutch braid in the left over curls from yesterday.

I also found this pic from last week, I was trying to have a braided headband. Well, it didn't really last the whole day since the hair in my neck is so short but the picture looks nice!

Princesses do exist!

This morning we were having a birthday party at our place for four one year olds, two girls and two boys, they all were cute as buttons! One of them was my little princess, she had one more party to enjoy her cake and cookies. Even though it was quite of an hassle with eight adults and 14 children I managed to braid this little princesses hair! 

She was wearing light blue Disney princess dress so what would be more suitable than ribbon braid. The ribbon is actually light blue with pink dots in it so it matched the dress, too. I think the braid worked out pretty nicely and she seemed to be pretty pleased with it too!

Through a straw

Hey, it's Monday! And yes, it's again rainy and windy. It has been the same weather every time I have done my non heat curls.

This time I choose straws as my helpers. Yesterday evening when I went to bed I looked like this. You should have seen the face of my one year old when she woke up in the morning, I think she was a little bit afraid of me, at least she wouldn't hug me until I took these off!

I divided the hair the same way as I do when I use toilet paper. I divided the hair to approx. 12 sections and rolled the around the straw. What surprised me was the good grip the straws had, when you get the knot done, they really hold very well, there was no pins needed. But unfortunately the straws made quite a noise when they rubbed against the pillow in the night!

When I opened the knots in the morning this was the hair waiting for me. Before this shot I did not style my hair at all, just went through it with my fingers. This is pretty tight curl.

So what I ended up doing with the hair was this. I made flip accents both side of the parting and kind of a mowhak in the back with three ponytails. This held up surprisingly well, I went outside with my hood on and also took a nap and it still looked the same!

Taking the braids abroad

This weekend has been fabulous! I went to a one night city break to Tallinn with three of my girlfriends, this was something I've been expecting  for the past half a year.   We girls try to do a trip like this every year but since we all have children and jobs it's not so easy to organize time away of from our families. When we get away, though, it's like we've never been apart, we talk and talk into the late night. We also had some pampering done in a spa and we visited a great restaurant. I feel like I'm a new woman again.

To me this was a weekend of braids, I made this dutch five strand pancaked braid for myself  both days.

I was also first time twinning with a bunch of other braiders in Instagram and for that I needed to do the style here. It's a dutch lace braid turning into a pull through braid, you can find all the creations under hashtag #dutchpullthroughtwin. I did this braid to one of my friends, she has the most beautiful hair color!

The picture in the right proves that we actually were in Tallin, here we are having some hot blue berry juice in the market square in Tallins Old Town. There was Christmas market there and we were sniffing the Christmassy atmosphere

There was one more braid I did, this is 3strand  pull through braid to one other of the girlfriends. Here it looks alright but unfortunately it did not survive the shopping!
