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.

Review.... Sidewinders

I have had the pleasure, of doing a product review on Sidewinders Hair Holders.This being my first official review i wanted it to be perfect. But perfection doesn't exist in the hair world. you just give it your best and hope for the best, or at least  learn what you would do diffierent if you have the oppurnity.

I was sooo excited when i got the package in the mail....

Since I have a boy, I really didn't think that I should add these babies to my arsenal, But i'm glad I did, they make perfect gifts and add pizazz, to most of the plain quick and easy hairstyles I have done.( But i am thinking about getting some black and clear ones to try on Tye, stay tuned for that post.

I was really excited when i received my package in the mail. Shipping was extraordinarily QUICK... I mean in a matter of Days, its like processing time didn't exist

So far my favorite quick and easy style with the sidewinders, was to use as a sort of bridge between ponytails.

Even though sidewinders are easy to put on, I had trouble on my first attempt, but the second go around was perfect, and quick. It sure beats trying to put on 20 plus beads on a braid, even with an easy beader.

What I liked most about the sidewinders beside them being easy to put on the mix and matching you can do, is that, it kept, the children busy, while, i parted, detangled, and style the hair. I used the sidewinder hair holders on several children and each child had a blast twisting, retwisting and mix and matching the sidewinders. Which was a blessing, because it can be trying and hard at times to style a young children s hair, and we try many tricks and treats to try and keep them busy and calm. by their selves the side winders did the trick, with out the movie, the candy and the toys.... That in it self is a reason to buy them.

I had so much fun playing with these and trying to find fun and creative styles

you can buy them here at their website

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

a close up of the front

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
