-Hi, I'm Mindy, from Cute Girls Hairstyles.
And today we are celebrating Halloween here,
so we're in our costumes.
And I'm going to show you the hairdo that I'm
doing on my daughter for her fairy hair.
And I'm going to call it just Two-Lace Braids, Double
Lace Braids.
And I'm also going to do it into an updo
to show you a little bit of difference
in how you can change it up.
So we've already done one side.
Turn your head this way, sweetie.
OK, I'm going to just start by doing a regular French braid.
And I'm going to do it the Dutch version,
so your stranding goes Dutch.
And what you do is pick up hair from the top.
You don't pick up any hair from the bottom.
Now, I'm going to keep the stranding
as close to the side of her head as possible, as I come down.
And you'll see that I'm going to just follow right
by her hairline.
Now, there's going to be points when
I have to reach-- I don't know if you can see
this little hair right here-- I'm going to have to reach
under and pull that back into the stranding,
because I don't want any hair left out of the braid.
So, you're going to just continue to strand.
You can see the braid forming.
And when I get to her ear, I'm going to go just barely
behind her ear, so that it follows, really, just
the natural hairline all the way down.
And when you get back just a little
further than we are right now, you'll
see that the hair starts pulling a little more loosely.
And that's exactly what we want it to do.
So, watch as I do this, and you'll
see what I'm talking about.
Can you see we're now pulling-- turn your head this way
just a little.
We're now pulling from clear back here,
so those strands are going to come into the braid just
a little more loosely than before,
not quite so close and tight.
And that's fine.
Just try to keep the stranding.
I'm actually going to do two right there.
Now, if you wanted, you could have just grabbed
all that last chunk and added it in.
But I'm intentionally leaving it a little bit loose.
And you'll see why in just a second.
So now that we've got all the hair gathered into the braid,
I'm going to finish off the braid.
Do you have a rubber band, babe?
-No.
-OK.
I see one.
And rubber band it.
OK.
Now, for my purposes tonight, I am
going to leave her hair just like this.
I think it's kind of a fun-- she's
a little woodland fairy tonight, so I think it's kind of a fall,
autumny, soft-looking hairdo.
And we're going to add in her little antennas.
And ta-da!
She looks adorable.
But if you wanted to use this for an everyday do
or even a little bit of an updo, what you do is just
take the hair and simply cross them over.
Can you see that?
Right here, where it just hangs out a little bit?
That's the effect we're going for.
So tuck it in.
And bobby pin-- oh, that one's much better.
OK.
And any little pieces-- next-- like that one
that's hanging out a little bit more than the others,
I'll just bobby pin in in just a second.
There you go.
There, and you've created a really soft-looking--
like those hairs just pull up and wrap into the braid ever so
softly.
And I actually wore my hair just like this yesterday for church.
And so it's a really fun updo version of the Two-Lace Braids
that's really a more adult-looking hairdo.
You could even wear that for prom
and put some fun clips and flowers into it
and make it really fun.
So, have fun and enjoy.
And we'll see you later.
Hey, everybody.
-Hey.
-We just wanted to wish everyone a happy Halloween.
-Happy Halloween!
-OK, let's see, what do we have here?
Let's start on this end.
-A fall fairy.
-A Mexican girl.
-A Spanish girl.
-A 50s girl.
-I'm not Spanish.
-You see the poodle skirt?
And--
-Chinese.
We are going for a lot of ethnicities, apparently,
and cultures.
Hey, who are you, bud?
-Captain Jack Sparrow.
But wait, we're missing somebody.
There she is!
Sweet Pea, come here.
There she is, our little owl.
Hello, bug.
Hi!
A-boo!
OK, what are you guys going to get lots of tonight?
-Candy.
-Chocolate!
-Yeah, chocolate.
That's my thinking.
Bring home some good stuff for Mom.
-OK.
-Oh, I forgot to show my-- huh?
What am I?
-A witch.
-Hello, I'm a witch.
Rah!
[CHILD GIGGLES]
-Ah!
-Can you see it?
Say hi.
Is that funny?
So yes, and we are, unfortunately,
missing Daddy tonight, who was going
to be Captain Jack Sparrow, Sr., because his dad was rushed
to the emergency room and is not doing well.
And so, he is actually on the road to another state
to go and see his family.
And we are thinking of him.
So, everyone, let's sing "Trick or Treat."
-(SINGING) Trick or treat, smell my feet.
Give me something good to eat.
If you don't, I don't care.
I'll throw candy everywhere.
-Good job!
Say, "See you later."
-See you later!
Happy Halloween!
