We've been having lots of fun creating Halloween hairstyles this year. And making a candy corn was actually the Princess's idea! She had big plans to use hair paint and the whole bit!! Well, I opted to keep it simple for school and stay away from the paint. :) It probably would have looked more like a candy corn if we would have done it her way though.
This was super easy and quick. I'm guessing no instructions are even needed, but what the heck....
We parted it on the side and added a row of orange elastics.
Then split the 2 middle ponytails in half and added a row of white.
Split the middle white ponytail in half and added a row of yellow.
And lastly, one more orange elastic.
When the candy corn was completed, I added a few
flat iron curls.
If you want it to look more like an actual candy corn, you could use some paint as the princess suggested. Or maybe add some ribbons. I think it's pretty cute the way it is though. Nice and subtle.
I love it! I think I can do this on my 2 year old with fine hair! :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you could complete the candy corn look by weaving appropriately colored ribbons through each of the layers.
This is really cute! If you do try it with the paint or ribbons you should definitely post some pictures.
ReplyDeleteI think one could change up the elastic colours and wear this anytime
Very cute!!! Perfect idea, Princess!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I have got to get some colored elastics!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable...and I think I can actually do this one which makes it even better!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I wish I could do steppers that just lay over the hair like that (mine always get the underneath hairs caught)
ReplyDeleteVery clever!
ReplyDeleteTo Dreamweaver:
Give the underneath hair a spray of water and put it in a temporary ponytail.
Hey, I don't want to seem really dim but I just wondered what exactly a candy corn is? I'm guessing some kind of American sweet?
ReplyDeleteSo cute! My girls love candy corn - we'll have to try this one!
ReplyDeleteSo clever! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I'm thinking you should have done it yellow, orange, white for a true candy corn. LOL. The stuff you come up with amazes me. Start working on a candy cane or peppermint candy for Christmas. I'd LOVE to see it.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! And so simple! ...just need some elastics in those colors and I'm set :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for another fun idea!
So cute! LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteEleanor,
ReplyDeleteYou are correct. :) Candy corn is a triangular shaped candy that is typically eaten around Halloween time.
I love it! I wish my youngest had more hair so I could do that on Halloween. She is a candy corn princess!!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is so pretty!!
