Biggest Loser Hair

One of the personal trainers on the Biggest Loser had her hair done like this a couple of weeks ago.

I made a diagonal part  then make a poof that is angled onto the left side.

Pull all the remaining hair except a small strip as shown below into a ponytail.

Take that small piece of hair and pull it up and around the ponytail.  I secured this hair with a clear elastic

I finished the ponytail off by putting ringlets in the ends.

Poof, Braids and Ponytail

Start by making a poof in the front of her head. I used 2 small bobbie pins crossing each other to give it a little bit bigger poof.

Take the right side hair as shown below and make a braid.

Make the same braid on the left side and secure both braids and the remaining hair into a ponytail.

I took a small amount of hair and wrapped around the ponytail and secure.

Toddler Simple Pony

This is truly a simple ponytail.  her hair is finally long enough for a ponytail.  We used the flat iron to give the ponytail really cute curls.  I posted a couple of pictures to show everyone the personality of my little Monkey.

The key to keeping the ponytail looking smooth is doing it while its wet or using a spray bottle to wet the sides.

The Messy Bun Step by Step Instructions

Recently I have had a lot of people asking me about my messy bun.  So here goes if these are not clear please ask questions I will do my best to explain what I do.

Because we don't just like plain messy buns at our house you will get a few instructions on rolls for the front of the hair.

I first made a roll across the front of her head this pulls all the bangs out of her face.

I then made a 2nd roll and 3rd rolls as shown below.  1 almost parallel to the first and the 2nd to make a t. I secured them in place with small bobby pins

Then I made 3 more rolls.  Another one parallel to the 2nd roll and one that follows the t shaped one.  The last one is parallel as shown below.  (I hope all that made sense if not try and look at the picture)

Now to start the messy bun.  Take all the hair and put it into a ponytail.  Don't pull the hair all the way through on the last loop of your elastic.

The back of the hair will look like this after all the hair is into the ponytail.

Now I take the hair that is looped and pull it upwards towards her head.  This makes a circle shape in her hair secure this with a clear small elastic.

Below is the hair after I have pulled the loop upwards. 

Now bobby pins become your best friend.  I use bobby pins to put the hair where I want it as shown below.  If you put the hair into a bobby pin and it looks to small put your finger in the loop and pull a little bit.  You can also pull small amounts of hair and pull it to the other side and secure with bobby pins. 

Below is the finished messy bun.  If this doesn't make sense please ask me more questions.
