Little Girl Twisted Faux (Mo) Hawk.... Protective Style

So if you haven't heard Kandyland Kurls is having a 3 month Protective Style Challenge, and i thought i join in with some of my little Kiddies, But only Tye and I or Officially in it.

So this style is a Braid and Twisty Faux Hawk Combo, that i did on my Shadow, its perfect for little girls big girls and if you have a infant baby girl with enough hair this would work for them too

I started off with talking out her old ponytail style you can see it here

after taking her hair done I parted it into 5 sections and braided each of the 4 sections towards the middle part and twisted the ends

for the top sections I teased her Hair to give it some Umph and added a rubber band, its also called a pompadour But be careful if you decided to do it, because it can cause major tangles, if done too much or not properly.

and twisted the hair where the rubberband started

the way i parted,

I love the shrinkage of the hair

I tried getting a picture of her hair and all the kiddies and to join in :o)

and Tye is infamous for jumping in pictures....

How this post helps, stay tuned for the boy version of it, coming up next

I hope this style last at least a week and a half, the ponytails lasted 2 weeks so we'll see

and as always if you're not doing the challenge it is easy to customize the hair style with beads barrettes bows and any other hair accessories

Ponytails (pigtails) and beads hair styles for Boys and Little Girls

So lately Tye has been wearing a quick and easy Faux Hawk and Faux Hawks with Braids with the braids.. and i must say i love this style...

But for this week we went a little different and did ponytails. I was going to braid it because he asked to wear some beads but i didn't have the energy so this is what we came up with. It's kinda like a large box braid but only a ponytail

In this style i was able to see just how much his hair has grown in the past year since he cut it, and it lasted all week.

If you are wondering what type of beads he has they are basket balls, awesome right...Remember the post i did on my little sister, you can check out her basketball beads style here. WHO says little girls get to have all the fun with the hair accessories... we're pushing the mold. and these beads are awesome for little boys, we have several different sports

Even with the Ponytails and Beads he still looks like a little boy, at least to me.

And as you all know i love doing styles that can work for boys and girls infants etc, so here's the girl version

for my shadow's hair I used Colored Rubber Bands, and tied the ends off with rubber bands. Which makes the style so versatile. I can put barrettes, ballies and bows and change it up every couple of day.

But i would advise to watch young children as they can choke on the small parts

Got to love the shrinkage right

Yo Gabba Gabba Inspired 3rd Birthday Party

Between my friends and I there are 10 kids, i think maybe a little more, so you can image how many parties we go to in a year. It seems like we go to at least 1 party a month not including families...

AS we walked up we were greeted by this personalized Yo Gabba Gabba sign complete with a picture of the birthday girl. What i can't get over is besides the party starting on time, everything was set up and ready to go hours before the party started, one day I want to be just like "Mrs. B"
