Ok this might be my new favorite thing in G's hair. And hers! She found the yarn aisle at Walmart and starting grabbing and chucking, grabbing and chucking. I limited her to 4 new skeins, and one of the ones she picked was rainbow. So I did new rainbow and black falls, but I braided them partway down, put in a snap, and used ballies. Then I swapped out the pink and purple beads for rainbow hearts, and now she is just a walking rainbow. I LOVE this. This yarn is normal yarn, it's not as fuzzy as the last ones. She just loves to swing it around.

I think they look better and neater braided part way down like this. I could have used more beads and just knotted them underneath. This was faster. I recommend, if you want to use snaps with them, not to braid more than 6 strands of yarn, or the snap won't close around them.

Happy Snapping!

Ok now this looks like WOW how'd she do that, but honestly, as a tween would text, OMGINBD!! (omigod, it's no big deal!)

So yes, it's over the top. But once the ends are trimmed and she's outside walking around, it looks totally darling. I just used pink and purple fancy yarn, and plain black yarn. How I ended up with yarn falls instead of yarn extensions, which is what I was supposed to be doing, is that I just started too late and ran out of time. Fixing the piggyback braids took awhile, but putting one purple or pink tone bead on each piggyback came out really cute, then I just ran out of extra time! So I just did the piggybacks up into a little puff, except I didn't pull the hair all the way thru the elastic on the last turn, so it was like a little lump, then took the yarn, folded it in half, added an elastic to it, wrapped it around the lump, turned it so that the yarn fell over the top of the lump, took some strands (4 or 5), wrapped them around the lump 2 or 3 times, and tucked the tail under, and just let it hang!!!! She LOVES them. Little girls all over town were staring and I could see them drooling trying to figure out how they could get all that pink and purple into their hair LOL

I will soon be carrying extension hair in fun colors so that Snapaholics customers can achieve what our Aussie Snap Kelly did to her daughter's hair in Australia:

So, yarn falls are technically G's first Goth hairstyle. Now she just needs fishnets, black lipstick, and a bustier....NOT!

Happy Snapping!
