Representing BIG Hair!!!

This labor day weekend we went to a Puerto Rican Festival. I removed N's twists, and let her rock her BIG hair for the day. 

Shortly after this photo, it started RAINING! Yes, pouring down. It was already over 80 degrees and humid.  Then we got caught in the rain without an umbrella. Sooooooo as you can image the big hair, became bigger, and frizzier, and more tangled. (Sigh) 

In the crowd, there was over 100 kids. Ronald McDonald said "I need a volunteer, how about the girl with the red, white, and blue headband." I thought it was funny, how he pointed her out by her hair and headband lol. So who's says, BIG hair won't get you noticed?

25 Minutes Or Less Styles: Afro Puffs

Okay this isn't an afro puff, but it's the closest we can get without crazy tangles. So technically it's a braidout and put into 2 ponytails lol. 

I parted her hair that night, and then I wet, moisturized, and sealed, her hair into 3 braids on each side. In the morning, I added more of our homemade sealant (click for instructions on how to make it.) Then smoothed her hair in the sections. I unraveled the braids, and voila! We have a quick nice braidout puffs lol. 

She looks happy with her puffs lol

I Made A Bow Headband

I Made A Bow Headband

Okay, the title is not entirely true, I didn't make a bow headband. I just used some things lying around to create one. So to boost my confidence I want to claim that I made (put) one together :) It was a small task that anyone, yes anyone, can do. I found this hair bow in my daughter's room. I have no clue where it came from (maybe some doll?) But I decided to use my hot glue gun, and glue a little rhinestone in the center. Next, once the glue cooled off, I used one of N's all white headbands and I glued the bow to the headband. 

This was not rocket science, but after I glued it, I was so PROUD! Real corny but I'm not crafty at all. But now, I'm even thinking about making a flower bow! ..hmmm.. not a bad thought?

Have you ever made something by hand?
