EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY

Sorry, but ever since my daughter's Kindergarten teacher started using that term "EASY PEASY LEMON SQUEEZY has been a regular saying in our home.  So now it will stick in your head for a while.  

You can thank Mrs. Walter! Ha ha ha

Well this hairdo is exactly that!! It took me MINUTES and I had two girls done in 10 minutes.  If your kids hair is dry or curly you need a water spray bottle and may need to add 2 minutes.  

Simply part their hair on one side and then part it over to the ear in a right angle and when you are perhaps 1 1/2" from the ear part it again so it looks like a square.  

Secure the hair so it stays out of your way.  

You will then section this "square" of hair into 3 or 4 sections.  I only do this one section at a time but I highly recommend using a clip to hold the rest of the hair back so those little hairs don't jump into your hands or you tend to pull them and hear a huge squeal from your child!

Take the section in your hands and, once again, part it into 2 more sections (geez can I type the word "section" enough here!) 

Twist each section inward.  So your right hand will twist LEFT and your left hand will twist RIGHT.

HINT:  When twisting hold the hair straight up above head (not out towards your body) it will increase the effect)

Use a small rubber band and secure it close to the scalp

REPEAT THIS WITH ALL 3 or 4 SECTIONS and TA-DA you are done! 

To add a bit of flair to the look I took a curling iron and did quick ringlet curls to the hair left in the sections ONLY... be careful, when moms have curling irons in their hands all of a sudden we start to curl all over the place and it ruins the effect.  :-) 

Oddly as this is, with all the more extravagant braids and hairstyles I do it was this SIMPLE hairdo I did that I received a TON of comments when I picked up the girls from school.  Go figure!  

Again, this is another good way to get little hairs out of the way and create a stylish way to have a competition or recital hairstyle.... simply do this and then pull the rest of the hair into a bun or ponytail.  You can add jewels or glitter to the hair for flair.
