Detangling Tangled

The Title of the post looks silly huh? Here's the story, N comes into the living room with her Tangled Rapunzel Doll we brought her a few months ago. She looks at me and says "Ma, I can see why they call her Tangled, her hair is a mess! Can you fix it?" So I quickly grab my super cape and I'm off to save the day!

(This is before)

I decided to wash her hair, I used Ajax dish detergent, then I combed her hair with the Tangled Teezer. And 5 minutes later...

Tangled is Untangled and I have a very happy 6 year old! I have saved the day!

Curly Updo With Flat Twists

Curly Updo With Flat Twists

I'm sure some of you have seen this style on Natural-Hair-Care-Info.com for N's feature. Well, I wanted to share it again here for those that didn't see it. I also wanted to tell you that this was my very FIRST time doing flat twists!!! Yes, I knew it wasn't hard and I pretty much got the technique I just never did it, until now, and I think I did a pretty good job! I must add with N's hair type I like cornbraids better, they last longer and look neater to me.

 

Prep: I washed N's hair the night before, and put her hair into 4 braids to sleep with. In the morning I unraveled the braids.  

 

Instructions:

1.)  I parted her hair from ear to ear (in half /horizontal.)

2.) Beginning with the top section, I made three (3) cornbraids on the sides of her hair, near her ears.

I did this on each side of her ears, so it was a total of 6 braids.

3.) I made 3 flat twists going towards the right, and 4 going toward the left.

4.) Next, I put the back of her hair into a ponytail. I wet the hair in the ponytail with water. Then I added a few sprays of Motions Setting Lotion to the wet hair.

5.) Finally, I added Curlformers all over the ponytail. The next morning I removed the Curlformers and sprayed some Bee Mine Juicy Spritz, and used Bee Mine Curly Butter to smooth down her edges.

Updated Twisted Updo

Here's a quick update on our style. I took the bun out and added 4 colorful rubberbands to the twists, which formed a mohawk.

We had a fun day at the park, and she received a compliment on her hairstyle from a few strangers. "N" has told me that this is her favorite style! So I may do this for the first day of school which is right around the corner. I can't believe summer vacation is half way over for us : (

How is everyone enjoying their summer so far?

Twisted Updo

Lately, I have been searching through tons and tons of websites, and I was inspired by the all the Natural Divas I've seen. I decided to do a child version of one of the hairstyles I seen. I just call it a Twisted Updo, it's a blend of cornbraids & two-strand twists.

Instructions:

The first image is how I parted her hair.

The brown section represents the hair, that I used to made small two-strand twists.

The black lines going towards the brown section are cornbraids. 

Once the two-strand twist were complete, I used black bobby pins to secure her twists in a bun shape.

She loves some sort of braid or twist in the front of her hair. So I left a piece out, and created (2) two strand twists.

Then, I twisted them both together to form one big twist.

Finally, I added small colorful snaps to make it look more playful.

Products Used:

Bee Mine Luscious Moisturizer

Coconut Oil

Approx Time: 1 Hour

The sun was in her eyes lol
