Guess what I did. I chopped my Beans hair. Chopped a whole 9 inches off of it. I guess I wanted to be a part of the short hair gang of hair bloggers. Just kidding. Truth is my shoulder has really hurt over this winter. The cold is making the healing take twice as long. So I chopped it to make life a little easier. I cut it a tad shorter underneath so that it would naturally curl under. So on my really painful days I don't need to do anything more than throw a Mary Jane Headband in it and go. Its made life a little better for me.
Do you ever just want to leave your little gals hair down, but you know you will go batty tucking hair behind her ears all day long to keep it out of her face. Well this is how I deal with that. I make a permanent tuck that I don't have to deal with all day long. And it is so hidden no one will know your trick.
Divide out the front from the back and clip the back held back if you need it held out of your way while you work.
Anchor it behind the ear with a clear (lead free) rubber band (ha ha ha). I only anchored the one side that had shorter hairs that needed to be held back. I also sprayed some hair spray on it to hold it in place as well.
Now Beans hair can barely reach underneath since we chopped it. I could have held it in place right there and called it good, but part of why I did the hair cut was to show you how it can be done doing these styles with shorter hair. Obviously there is still some hair that will be too short for this still, but this should help some of you.
Divide out a little bit of that hair that is underneath and combine it with the hair in front. That you are trying to anchor behind the ears.
Make a piggy tail.
Repeat on the other side. Remember that one side has the extra anchor right above the ear. You can't see it at all once you throw the hair back over to let it hang down. You could use this when you do the Braid Headband, the Cheater's Headband, Climbers Headband and so many more. So have fun with this trick.
See no pig tails... and no hair in the face either. This is such a good trick. A lot of nights my dear sweet husband has to take rubber bands out of Beans hair, but he totally had no idea she had them in with the hair do. She ended up sleeping in them. They clearly didn't bother her either, but it was nice to see her face all day long and not have to worry about tucking the hair behind her ears to see it.
