We have done a few hairstyles in the past using the Princess's actual hair to make a braided headband. These are some of our favorite styles and I love the look of braids crossing over her cute head! I do realize though, that fairly long hair is needed to create a style like that and it can be difficult for some to arrange the braids (and keep them in place throughout the day.) This is a fun cheat!We purchased this cute fish tail aka fish bone / herringbone braided headband at "Sally Beauty Supply." I believe it is synthetic hair. The brand is Bellissima and is part of the "Dancing With The Stars" hair collection. I'm sure similar headbands can be found in most stores that carry hair accessories, or at Amazon here: Braided Headband
This headband can be incorporated into many hairstyles as an accent to add an adorable bohemian, hippie look. This "cheat" is so much easier and faster than braiding your own hair and can work even if you have short hair! My daughter has been wearing this non stop since we got it. I think it's one of our favorite accessories!
This has been great for us on school mornings... a 5 minute, easy hairstyle. ;) I actually have worn it myself a few times as well! It can work for every age (girls, tweens, teens, and adults) every hair type, and every hair length!
*This is not a sponsored post. We purchased the headband and thought it was so cute, we just wanted to share.

Hi guys. So, you may remember the circular crown braid (or never ending braid) that we posted awhile back. I've also seen several cute variations on Youtube and other hairstyling sites recently... but all of them have involved french braiding. When we posted our variation of the style, I know we had a lot of disappointed people who wanted to try it, but didn't know how to french braid.
Then, a few weeks ago I was looking through Pinterest and happened upon this adorable braided crown......
Cute, right? And, this style was done with regular three strand braids! You can find the easy step by step tutorial to recreate this look here: Crown Braid Tutorial
*The only problem now is that you are going to need fairly long hair to pull this off. If the hair you are working with is on the shorter side, you might try placing each of the braids over the top of her head instead of wrapping them around (similar to what we did with our Christmas Heidi Braids.) Anyway, I think the tutorial on A Cup Of Jo is great and love her blog as well. She has lots of neat ideas so watch out...... you might be there for awhile. ;)
