School Styles 25 Minutes or Less

I wanted to start a new segment in KandyLand, I know there are many busy Mothers who follow KandyLand and they need a quick cute style to do. So as of today, KandyLand will begin posting a style that take 25 minutes or less.

*If any of you have a style that was quick and easy to do feel free to email me kandylandkurls@yahoo.com with the pictures and the style will be featured.

Here's how to achieve this style!

1.) Part the hair in half (from ear to ear)

2.) Use something to separate the bottom section from the top, we will use the bottom later.

3.) Take the top section and divide it straight down the middle.

4.) Add hair scrunchies or bows to separtate the two front sections, and begin braiding each section.

5.) Take the two front sections, and add them to the bottom section, and add a hair bow.

6.) Unravel the left over braids from the top sections, and begin making one big braid and add a small clip at the end of the braid.

WARNING: The picture below may be disturbing to some, or just plain ridiculous!!

Yes, this is what she looked like, when she came out of her bedroom. She did ask me if she could play in makeup. I was sooo into watching 16 & pregnant aftershow online that I said "uh huh" not really paying any attention, to what she just asked, but she sure did grab my attention, when she came out her room. I told her she looked BEAUTIFUL!! While I was laughing and grabbed my camera, so I could share this silly moment with all of you lol.

Cool Hair Facts :-)

-Hair grows faster in warmer conditions.
So, if you want to quickly grow your hair, head someplace warm. With this weather, an island vacation doesn't sound too bad lol

Swirl Design-Cornbraids

I wanted to change up the regular straight back cornrows by adding a swirl on the sides of "N's" Hair

1.) Start with detangled well moisturized hair.

2.) I started making two cornbraids in the front of her hair, slightly to the side of her face. So it won't be directly in the front of her face.

3.) Next, I made 6 straight cornbraids going down the center of her hair.

4.) Then, I made a small part on the side of her hair, that went up towards her face, around her edges, and back down going straight, creating a swirl.

5.) The hair that is in the middle of the swirl, I turned it into one braid. It made a very-slight curve, but continued going down the back of her hair.

6.) I followed step number 4 and 5 on both sides of her hair.

I added 5 beads from Curly Princess Hair Boutique to each braid, and sprayed oil sheen and added moisturizer daily on the braids.

Approx time: 1 hour

Products Used: - My handy-dandy Wide Tooth Comb

- Oil Sheen

- Moisturizer

Veil Style Into Cornbraids

This style I did a month ago, and I totally forgot to post it lol. It's a Veil Style going into cornbraids with added pink beads.

Instructions:
1.) I made a part going across her hair, basically ear to ear. I tied up the back section, to get it out of our way, we will use it later.
2.) Starting with the front section I made 3 squares, and I used black rubber bands to separate each square.
3.) I added one pink bead to each section on top of the black rubber bands.
4.) Next, I made 2 twists (two-strand twists) in each square.

5.) Behind my 3 squares, I made 4 smaller squares. I started by making a part in the middle, behind the center square.
6.) Next, the two twists coming from the front center square, I put one going into the second row's square, on the right, and one on the left.
7.) I added rubber bands to secure the twists. I placed two beads, in the two middle sections, and one bead, on the side sections near each ear.

8.) I unraveled the back section of the hair, and made 4 parts going down her hair.
9.) I added the twisted hair into the four sections, and began cornbraiding.
10.) At the end of the cornbraids, I added three beads.

Approx time: 45 minutes-1 hour
Tools Used:
-Wide Tooth Comb
-Pink Jumbo Beads from Curly Princess Hair Boutique
-Black Rubber bands

Kandy's (?) Time

A few posts ago I was discussing age appropriate hairstyles for teens in ("A's") Spotlight. B.B had mentioned in the comments section about babies having a lace front wig. I couldn't picture a baby with a wig, even if, it was for a medical reason. I would just picture a bald headed baby, but I couldn't get my mind off of that subject and on BCC a member showed a picture of this baby.

So here is my question, do you think its okay for a baby to have a wig? Not as dress up for around the house, but for a everyday hairstyle?

"N" Birthday Hairstyle

This is N's Birthday Style, she just turned 6, but going on 40 lol

She had a great time with her friends and family. I did this style the morning of her party, and let me tell you, she could not sit still. She was overly excited but I managed (thanks to cartoons) to pull something off. Here it goes, I have no idea what the name of this style is, I guess a criss-cross something lol .. Enjoy

I started by making a part going from ear to ear, and another part going straight down her hair. Next I took one of the top half, and divided it into 3 separate sections. I used purple bows to section her hair off.

Next, each of those 3 sections I split them in half, so I had a total of 6 sections. Then I made a cornbraid going down the middle of the 6 sections.

(Here comes the more complicated part, as if, this isn't confusing enough, bare with me lol)
In the section closest to her ear, I took out the hair bow. I began making a cornbraid starting from that section, and when I ran out of hair I began making a regular braid until I reached the section on the other side (which is the second section on the right.)

As you can see, I starting cornbraiding the second section. When I ran out of hair to cornbraid, I began doing a normal braid, coming back over to the right, going into the 3rd right section. So the pattern is going from Right to the Left and then back to the Right. And I continued doing the same process on the other side of her hair. Starting with the Left, going over to the Right, and back to the Left.
