Criss-Cross Applesauce Hairstyle
I had no idea what to call this style. I was going to call it criss-cross cornbraid, with two layered cornbraids in the back. Then wonderful silly "N" said Mommy lets call it "Criss-Cross Applesauce" lol. It sounds better than the long title I chose so here's how to do the Criss-Cross Applesauce Hairstyle.
1.) Start with clean moisturized hair, part the hair slightly-slanted across the hair (from ear to ear but purposely off a little bit. )
2.) Separate the back from the front (using a hair scrunhcie or clip), we will use the back later.
3.) Next, I made 2 slanted cornbraids starting on her left side towards the front of her hair, going down across the middle of her hair.
4.) Starting on the right side I made 5 slanted cornbraids, going across the middle of her hair (in the opposite direction from step# 3.
5.) In the front (roughly where a bang would be) I made 2 cornbraids going towards the left. Then I made one more cornbraid behind the bang on the left.
6.) I unraveled the back of her hair and divided it, into two parts.
7.) I began making two separate rows/layers of corn braids going down.
Then I connected the last braid in step#5, to one of the braids in the first row in the back of her hair. This caused the hair to have a criss-cross effect.8.) Then "N" picked out the color beads that she wanted to use ( I know they don't match lol, but it did have a Jamaican feel)
and I added the beads to her hair.
Tools used: Wide Tooth Comb
Bee Mine Juicy Spray (for shine)
Bee Mine Curly Butter (to help lay down the frizzies)

Cute li'll girl with lovely hair style.
Thanks for posting such lovely and different hair styles.
This is a cute little hairstyle. I dont know how to braid so I wont be doing this style. I let my daughter pick out her barettes and hand them to me but thats about it.
This must take forever :)

Wow! Soo Cute! I tried the other style week before last, Ill try this one soon, hopefully.
Thanks everyone! It took about 1 hour I forgot to add that in the post, there are youtube videos to help learn how to braid. When I was younger I would pick out my hairbows, so I let my daughter do the same it's a great way for them to express themselve.
Love the name!!!!!!
Do you use Bee Mine Curly Butter for all he hair styles? I tried it, but it didnt seem to work very well for R's hair.
Thanks!! I just use the curly butter lightly on her edges to help get a better hold on the baby hairs and keep them in the cornbraid. But I like to braid without any products, I will add plenty of moisturizer the night before I braid. My fingers grip the hair better without products in it. Have you tried shea butter? I heard that it's heavier and if the curly butter is too light that may do the trick.
@Byrdy- how did the other style turn out? and let me know whenever you try this style how it comes out, I would love to see pics, and if you need any further details or have questions on the hairstyle email me
