5. Summary of Mindy McKnight Mindy McKnight from Cutegirlshairstyles is a mum of 6. She does all her kids hairstyles. She is an awesome hair braider. She has over two million subscribers on YouTube. She lives in the Texas and she moved from Utah. She started her braiding blog in 2008. In 2001 her eldest children (Brooklyn and Bailey) were 18 months and Mindy didn't just want to do the simple ‘waterspout 'she became eager to do more new hairstyles. When the twins hair grew longer she took photographs of many hairstyles and made it into a photograph book. She then let her children pick a hairstyles from the book every day. And later people started to ask how she did their hairstyles. So in 2008 October she began a blog called cute girls hairstyles. She then made a YouTube channel. She uploads a new hair tutorial every Sunday. She has had many collaborations on YouTube including anneorshine, Lilith moon and even Disney. She is an inspiration to me as she is very creative and she inspires me to do hairstyles.

6. Reflection She has many varieties of hairstyles and they vary from long hair to short hair and complexity. Her husband, Shaun sometimes films tutorials that are so easy a dad could do it.(daddy do’s). I think these hairstyles are so easy yet there are many variations and they look beautiful. This hairstyle is called the twistback into square knot. This is called the four twist ponytail.

7. Favourite braids My favourite hairstyles are the zipper braid, bow braid and the lace braided bun. This is one of the most beautiful braids I have ever seen yet it is not one of the easiest braids as the stranding is very difficult and confusing. Mindy in her tutorials makes it quite easy to understand how to do this braid. It takes about 8 minutes to do. And you can wear it as a up do,half-up half-down hairstyle. There are many things you can do with this braid. I will be using this hairstyles for my arts activity as it is one of my favourites and I can do it.

8. Bow braid I love the bow braid as it looks like lots of bows in a braid it is not that hard to do and there are many ways to style this. The top picture shows the primrose bow braid and this was used in a very popular movie called catching fire (hunger games #2).This braid is fairly easy but uses a lot of hairspray and gel.

9. Lace braided bun I really like this hairstyle as it is an up do and it can be worn casually or for a party or wedding. It holds well all day long and looks beautiful

10. MORE REFLECTION.. I am inspired by them as they have many ideas and hair tutorials I will be using some of their hairstyles or recreating them in my arts activity. They make very difficult hairstyles easy and they are very inspirational to me. They are amazing.
