Christmas Giveaway!

I am just feeling like we need to do something Christmas-y, besides just cute Christmas hairdos! SO, I've got some super fabulous stuff to give away, as a way to say thanks to those of you that bear with my computer incompetence (See video below), my random postings, and my ever-present ramblings.
So, I have a bottle of some wonder cream to give away:



Miracle Hydrate Line Elimination Serum

WRINKLE REVERSE YOUR EYES! This exclusive eye treatment increases brightness around the delicate eye area even while working to diminish the appearance of lines, wrinkles and crow’s feet, while also brightening and moisturizing the skin. The result: smoother, brighter skin and your eyes: re-born.

This is some good stuff ladies! I don't know that I have enough wrinkles (yet) to give my firm testimony on it's superpowers, but I've heard amazing things, and hey! it's always worth a try, right? You can learn more about it here.

So, to the nitty gritty! Nothing too strenuous ladies, it's Christmas time after all! 

So for your first entry:

• Post the link to the giveaway on Facebook
• Send a tweet about the giveaway with the link included.

For additional entries:

• Send an email to a friend who isn't a fan of my blog, telling them about my blog/giveaway, and cc girlzhair@gmail.com.
• Tell me your favorite holiday tradition on my FB page.

After doing the first entries, and/or additional entries, leave me a comment with any necessary links you've shared (honor system here), with your name.

I'll select a random winner on Wed. Dec. 14th and get this fabulous stuff mailed out in time for Christmas!

Merry Christmas gals!

How to do girl's hairstyles: A puffy braid into stuffed buns 10-15 min

I love these puffy braids, done low and just along the hairline next to the ears. Nothing too fancy, but just a little bit different!

I parted her hair into a side part in the front, then zagged over for a center part to go down the back. 

 Next I started parting off into the sections for the puffy braids. I did pull through's on the ponytails to give it some interest. I tried keeping it next to the edge of her hairline. I think it gives it more of an 'antique' look, like something from Little House on the Prairie.

 I traveled the puffy braid down to the nape of her neck on both sides.

And I ended the ponytails in stuffed buns. See my video on how to do stuffed buns here.

 Finished look

This is a great one for short hair too!

I fixed it!

Sorry about the video, and for my delay in fixing it ladies! I take a nice long break from my computer and look what happens!

How to do girl's hairstyles: November's Creative Genius!!

This month's Creative Genius is Karli, who has her own blog, Curly Hairdo Ideas. She has super duper cute curly hair to work with, and has some great tips on keeping those locks healthy and happy. I liked this one a lot because I have so many of you ask for good tips on SHORT hairdos, and thought this would be a super one to throw in the mix.

Thanks Karli, for sending these instructions and darling pics!

Curly Do by Karli:

To get this look we started with completely detangled curls (To detangle curls  - wet the hair, use a little leave in conditioner if desired, detangle gently with fingers first, then wide tooth comb if needed, start at the ends and work toward the roots, small sections at a time!)  then sectioned out a triangular piece in the "bangs" area near her forehead. Note that the triangle gives you something to anchor to later...

I gently, lightly twisted that hair to make a poof! I used two bobby pins to secure the hair.  (Note that the triangle you made earlier gives you something to anchor to now.)

Next, take up a section of hair from the ear up toward the area you've been working, divide it in two pieces. Twist them both individually to the right, then twist them around each other to the left and you'll end up with this...

Do the same on the other side.

Secure them with bobby pins! (I like the small ones - they seem to hold well and are better sized for little heads!) Also, if you cross the bobby pins, they sort of lock together and stay put better.

Then fluff the tails of the hair you've been working with and add a bow and you are Done! Quick, easy, unique and totally stylish! :D lol!

Her curls are the cutest! I love the little twist braid as well, peeping out of those curls. Happy November!
