Cornbraids & Two-Strand Twists
So far in this school year, we've been doing more protective styles. It saves us much more time in the mornings, vs styling daily. I brought a new product that has been helping tremendously with making her styles last longer, with very minimal frizzies. The cornbraid design was a freestyle.
Here are some quick instructions on how I achieved this look.
1.) I made sure her hair was well detangled.
2.) I parted her hair from her temple, on the side of her head, to the other side.
3.) I started in the back of her hair. I took a section with my fingers, no comb, and sprayed it with my water/conditioner mix.
4.) I added some Eco Styler Gel, and Bee Mine Curly Butter to a section. Then I began making medium sized two-strand twists.
5.) When I reached the ends of the twists, I wrapped the hair around my finger a few times. This created a slight curl, and that helps to stop the twists from unraveling.
6.) I continued twisting until the entire back section was complete. Again, I did not use a comb to section the twists just my fingers.
7.) Next, beginning with the top section. I made a small "rainbow shaped" part on the side of her hair.
8.) I made a cornbraid around the rainbow shaped part.
9.) I continued making 3 rainbow shaped braids.
10.) I finished the rest of the hair on top, by creating braids with a slight curve.
11.) To maintain the look I sprayed with Darcy's Botanical's Coconut & Hibiscus Oil Spray.

Such a cute style (",) looking forward to your eco styler gel review. I purchased some a few weeks ago because loads of people reccomended it but Im a bit skepticle about using it on my daughter because its a gel and worried it may dry out her hair. Your daughters hair looks in very good condition so just from that Im worrying less (",)
Aww ya are the BEST!!! I mean it!! thanks for the wonderful comments :)
That's so pretty! love it :D
I love that rainbow/swirly free style! This style is so cute!
This is cute. I'm not that good when it comes to designing hair with cornrolls. My step-daughter has bone straigh hair... My 4 yr old has 2b hair and my 5 yr old has 3a/b hair... I usually just do one or two braids on their heads because my step-daughters & 4yr old won't stay in long, It usually just falls right out.
I love this hairstyle it is very pretty!!!
Thanks for the instructions with the picture. The braiding is so neat. That is something I am working on. You have the most creative styles. This one is cute and simple.
