Hair Jewelry Giveaway Winners!

Thank you everyone who entered the Lilla Rose Giveaway! Here are our 3 winners (chosen by random.org)....


Congrats Brynn, Christy and Jen! Please send an email to princesshairstyles at gmail dot com to claim your prizes.

And, a sneak peek into some upcoming tutorials using the "jewelry".....



All 4 of these hairstyles are simple, quick, and easy. Each style takes less than 2 minutes to complete using only the Lilla Rose Flexi Clip! We have made videos showing how to make each of these hairdos that I'll be posting over the next few weeks. :)

Quick Hairstyle | Woven Half Ponytail

A Fancy Half Ponytail

This is the first of several quick and easy hairstyles we'll be posting using a flexi clip. Of course if you don't have a flexi clip, you could accomplish this same woven look with a barrette or a variety of other hair accessories.

This would be a great hairstyle for school mornings since it can be done in under 2 minutes! We just wanted something simple, but unique and pretty at the same time.

I'm thinking this half-up hair style would be cute for teens, tweens, girls and moms. ;) You could maybe even wear this to a dance or other special occasion of you wanted to.

The video tutorial:


We found the clip used in this video at Lilla Rose. It's a size "extra small" if that helps.

Oh and of course, if you love this clip... we are hosting a giveaway right now. If you would like to enter to win a free Lilla Rose Clip, click over to our giveaway blog.

Rainbow Bun - Dance Bun With Ribbon

Ballet Bun With Ribbon

Here's a cute and unique hairstyle variation on the standard Ballet Bun from the other day.


I thought this "Rainbow Bun" would be a cute hairstyle for a dance competition or recital. I could also see it working for gymnastics or even a Renaissance Fair.

Or, maybe you are looking for a fun hairstyle for St. Patrick's day or just wanted a bright and colorful new hairdo for spring!
This ribbon bun is easy and actually fairly quick to make. Here's the video tutorial:


Of course with St. Patrick's Day being tomorrow, we would love to see your hairstyles. Feel free to share your St. Patty's Day Do's by posting your pictures to our facebook page!If you are in need of ideas, we have a few here: St. Patrick Day hair ideas

The Perfect Ballet Bun

How to make a Ballet Bun

We call this a "Ballerina Bun" or a "Ballet Bun" at our house. I've also heard these buns called Dance Buns, Sock Buns, Donut Buns, Bun Molds, a Chignon, and Figure Skating Buns. I know some people make these with a rolled up sock (hence the name "sock bun") or even with a large scrunchie as a foundation.
We posted a Cinderella hairstyle awhile back, but I'm thinking this bun could also work for a Cinderella or Tinkerbell hairstyle if you are into the Disney Princess thing!
I think most everyone has probably made a bun similar to this at some point. But, I thought I would share the technique and tools that seem to work best for us. This updo hair style literally takes 2 minutes to complete and stays in place very nicely. A perfect hairstyle for dance competitions, recitals, ice skating and other performances. I think it looks professional, sleek, sophisticated, and elegant. :)

This technique can be used on short hair, medium length hair, or long hair. If your hair is super long, you probably don't need to use a bun foundation at all though, as your bun would most likely have enough volume on it's own just by twisting the hair around itself.


The bun foundation and hair net used in this video can be found at beauty supply stores, Ebay or on Amazon, here:
Hair Donut
Hair Nets

This quick and easy bun is sort of a pre-requisite to a fun and unique variation we'll be posting later this week for St. Patrick's day/spring. So, be sure to check back!

St. Patrick's Day Hairdo - Green Eyelet Braid

Another Fun Hairstyle For St. Patrick's Day:

"Green Eyelet Ribbon French Braid"

We actually posted pictures of this hairstyle last year (without a tutorial) and have had requests for a video ever since.
Weird, but this hair style reminds me of a dress my mom made me when I was a little girl. It had eyelet lace along the bottom with a ribbon sewn or threaded through the lace. :)
By the way, this video tutorial was not so easy to make. :) I was trying to film, thread, sew and keep my hands/arms/head from covering everything up at the same time lol. I couldn't really see what I was doing while I was weaving the ribbon through her hair as you can probably tell by my sloppy sewing job! I think you can get the basic idea of how to make the hairstyle from the video though, just ignore the other "details" k? ;)

Of course, this hairdo would be cute any time... not just on St. Paddy's day. You could change up the color of the ribbons for any occasion!

St. Patrick's Day Clover Hairstyle

St. Patty's Day is almost here! We have plans to post some new St Patricks Day hairdo ideas.... I hope we have time to make the tutorials. In the meantime, here's a fun St Patricks Hairstyle from the past:

The clover hairstyle
We used the same basic technique from this heart hairstyle video, but made 3 "hearts" instead of one. You could even make a 4th "leaf" underneath the ponytail if you wanted to make a 4 leaf clover!
Clovers are supposed to bring good luck, ya know?.
