Prodcut Review..... The Bead Barrette

Oh My I can not believe its been so long since my last post, I will truly try to do better. But My first post back will be a product review

The Bead Barrette. I've been seeing and reading the buzz about it, and was more than a Little Excited because they weren't yet sold in my area, But you can now find them at Walmart and my favorite go to Snapaholics  when I don't carry a certain item, i'm sure they do.

The Bead Barrette came to life, when owner and designer Jennifer Zachery, needed a solution to the common problem of Toddlers and Beads, when her daughter Kyndal's daycare banned beads ( in their center and thank heavens they did or we wouldn't have this awesome product) in their center.
'
I will first say that I had dropped them and for a second my Heart Dropped. but i realized that i didnt have thousands of loose beads,all over my floor. SO then and there it was love....

these bead barrattes were so easy to apply. I was a little hesitant to try them on Tye because of the word "barrette" but i can say they are truly unisex if you get the right colors

Which was easy enough, and we added some basketball beads because Tye asked, and i did not have to use rubber bands on his ends, bonus!

I can truly saw I am more than happy with these snap on beads. It was quick easy and saved me lots of frustration, from having to bead and tread beads...  I can just imagine all of the creative uses of  for these, and the versatility of hair types and styles. they can be used on ponytails, braids, twist,  locs and so much more.

Update on Errks Hair

So it has been way to long since i've done a post, and some of my awesome readers who've stumbled upon the blog have took the time to email about current post, so i will take the time to write a post.

 

one of the emails were inquiring about my little cousin's Errk's hair, you can see previous post here

we were in the process of taking down his mini braids that we've had in since the beginging of June. his braids were in for a total of 8 weeks. If i kept tye's braids barely lasted 4 weeks and was already a tangled mess, gabe's on the other hand, did beautifuly

 

 

a comparison shot 

 the take down process, as i took the braids down i twisted each section, so it wouldn't get tangled or in the way, and it made washing his hair so much easier

washing eerk's hair in the twist, no tangles no knots

the fro, the least we can say is, Errked loved how big his hair is

He's able to have a full fledged ponytail, after a little under a year, and its already 5/6 inches

Stay tuned as i try to play catch up on Eerk and his hair journey

Growing out Boys Hair... Easy Low Maintenance

So I wanted to give you guys a little update on my lil cousin's Errk hair, its still going strong, and he and i keep up our part of the bargain, but since i'm lazy i gave him my go to style well a variation of it, i gave him mini twist.....

This style is actually three weeks old, and i'm slowly going over and retwisting some, to give it a "fresh" look

His ultimate goal is a braided mohawk so we'll see and its about 3 inches long.

So far so good, it has been a good experience growing out his hair from scratch, and virtually pain free

stay tuned for more updates on Errks' Hair Saga

and always this style is good for both boys and girls, and no mater the length

and a sneak of tye's similar style that he's been rocking for 3 weeks too

trimming boys naturally curly hair

 

I finally decided to trim Tye's hair. his ends where in dire need of some tlc.

I started off by deep condition his hair with nuNAATs Karité Special Deep Conditioning Hair Mask  

And i must say i love how it worked on all of his knots and tangles.

I then did a co-wash with cantu's conditioner

 If i wasn't so dead set on trimming his hair, i would've left his curls to be because they where gorgeous.

 

Now came the hard part, for me the blow drying, i couldn't find the comb attachment, so it was akward..

 

I worked in small sections blow drying as straight as i could get, and untill i had it  was finished

  

Before i trimmed his hair, can you see the different textures?

 the back is fine, the front is okay and the back middle is something else.

 

after the trim

 

 

the hair we cut

and the style that came after the trim,
