Quick and easy hairstyle on natural curly hair for toddlers tweens, teens and kids

So this style was super easy to complete, it is just one ponytail and a braid going across.

Ms. S's hair was washed and her last hair style kinda of gave her the banded effect, so i made a small part going across the front of her head, and did one french braid, for a kinda headband effect

can  you tell these are baseballs? she picked them  out herself :o)

But I added a large clear butterfly bead and a shell to make it a little more girly

So here is our Quick and easy style that took less than 10 minutes to do.

Hair Carnival.......CopyCaT styles

So we get to do another copycat, style....Yay, but with the camera out of commission i didn't really know what i was going to do, I was paired with "Expressions of a Drama Tween" who not only has a "hair issues" but is also a picky eater.... as i was going through her blog i found a couple of things i wanted to try or have done in the past...
i noticed her daugther Yaya, loved to wear her hair in in any kinda of braid twist or Bantu knot out, which works perfect for her age, but since i was working on a 3 year old i had to mix it up a bit.I put little ms. H's braid out half up and half down,since I nor or mother would've liked all of that waistline hair to be out all day.


this is a simple braid out to achieve this look and brushed half into a ponytail and left the rest down and added a cute  barrette to cover up the plain rubber band and match her outfit

first up is her random style she did her drama tween using zig zag parts, I must say my favorite because i did something similar

and she is always on the search for yummy lunches for her daughter,

and here are some of my fun tricks i have tried with tye, to get him some variety and fun

a spider made out of oranges grapes and apple slices

Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jelly on pita bread, with goldfish and fruit skewers

diy peanut butter and banana crackers,, like her homemade lunchable of cheese and crackers





and being a mother and a preschool teacher who is always trying to come up with something fun, I thought i  will give it a try at documenting all of the goodies i come up with, thanks for the inspirations, Melly...

When to cut their hair?

So my friends 4 year old son has been begging his mother for months to cut his. Like most of  "hair" mommies out there, she couldn't bring herself to it. and i mean he has a lot of hair, that mommy keeps nice and neat and his braid styles are awesome. you can see some of his pictures in our boys style gallery on our facebook page...

buy anywho, after months of begging and no hair cut he took maters into his own hands, and i mean literally...

He cut off some of his braids, so she offs to get his hair cut... :o( one more curly soldier soon to be gone... but on the bright side, they'll be more awesome hair cuts to steal and post :o) so no more boys braid for this little fellow

SO my question is, if you child, b oy or girl is begging to get a hair cut, would you consider it why or why not, and if they went as far as to actually cut it, would you finish  the job like i did when tye cut his ?
