I have been asked by a friend to do a "Hair Party" for her teenaged daughters.  They want to invite a number of friends who all have below the shoulder hair and have me show them different ways to style their hair.  They want me to show them how to use hair sticks, Bunjii ponytailers, scrunchies, and anything else I can come up with.  These are 13 - 16 years olds.  I have lots of fun hairsticks and Bunjii's and crocheted scrunchies to use as examples. I plan to show them how to do french braiding, gathered twists, herringbone braid, braided bun, simple bun, and knotted pony tail.  Any suggestions for what else I should try to do?  I only wish I could do a decent crown braid to show them.

This site doesn't have instructions on the Herringbone, but has many other style that girls may have fun with at the party.

And if they practice, they could even do them on their own hair...

Yes, I plan to give them a handout of some of the sites that I have used for ideas for styles and instructions along with simple instructions for a bun and french braid for them to try on themselves or each other.

And Leia - thanks for the Dutch braid suggestion, I will show that as well.

Just saw this thread.  What a cool, fun idea BB! 8)  I hope it went well.
