Tye and Ny my Rock Stars

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

and the style that came after the trim,

Boys can Play with Girls too

So on my block there aren't many kids well there are but we live on a long block with side walks, So Tye doesn't have very many options for friends..
. There's the little boy up the street who's mommy barely lets him come out side,
 down 3 doors is little bad kid who none of the parents like
and 2 little girls who live diagonal across from us.... So of I  choose the 2 little Girls...

How much harm can be done? right..

They
\

ride bikes in the street, and jump off of tye's bike ramps





stealing plums from a neighbors yard ( he lets them because hates the ants they bring)



And on occasions, even play dress up, while digging in the mud

or dressed in princess/prince or super hero costumes and spitting on a wall...

Wordless Wednesday... Big boy status

 

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 ?

Finger Curls on Boys

 So for the rest of the week Tye is wearing finger coils/curls in his hair... it was SO simple and easy to do.I have done this style on Tye before, but he was younger, and this go around since i did them smaller i was worried about him looking too much like a girl... I am glad to say that was not the case, and i loved the results, enjoy the picture

So i started off, with dirty dirty hair... (i was too lazy to wash it) and i spritz it my oil and water mix ( olive oil, grape seed oil, peppermint oil, and coconut oil) and i decided to give Shea Moistures Organic Coconut and Hibiscus Curl and Style Milk a try again, it wasn't a go for me, but i liked it on Tye's hair ( i may need to try it without the mix to see how it does)

can i saw we are both excited about his lenght, ( now its time to work on mine )

When each section was moisten with my mix, I trilled each section around my finger, to achieve the coil look. This is also know as Finger Coils, tightly curly method, comb coils/curls and it can also be achieve doing by straw curls

half way done, love the way it looks

2 days later

after a second day of playing hard

 on the way to the nail shop for pedicure, little boys need nice toes too, ( and Tye's toes, be looking jacked a lot of the time :o)

we will be defiantly doing this style more often, stay tuned for updates? maybe daily, well see

and this style could defiantly be accomplished on people of all ages, its an cute infant style for baby boys or firls, toddler girl and boy styles, preschool age and up... and it would be perfect for a special occaision, just add a biw or cute hair clips for a girl or a awesome hat, tie, or sun glasses for boys

DisneyLand Recap...

For awhile, I have comteplated getting Annual passes to Disney for Tye and myself, but cold not find myself spending all of that money. SO i was very pleased to learn, that they offered a monthly payment plan with different level ranging from $9.00 month to $35.00 a month. Awesome right? The downside, is that you would have to put a down payment of 80 dollars per ticket. But since the "year" doesn't start till the first time you use the pass, you can break up down payments and spread the cost... But any who

Recently I took Tye to Disneyland Park for the first time and he had a Blast. I can't believe i spent I woke up with w migraine, and went back to sleep, so instead of leaving at 6 am , we left at 10. two Tylenol Extra Strengths and we were good to go.

Since I don't have car we used Public transportation. I didn't know there were so many different ways to get to Disneyland, from Down Town Los Angeles


Since it was out first time going i think i was over prepared... Before Hand, I made a check list of all of the rides he was tall enough to get on and in which part they were located, bathroom breaks etc....

Up above Tye is checking out his map of Disneyland

I even made our own little autograph book, which is also going to double as a scrap book, when we're done, stay tuned for a post on that coming soon

we were waiting in line for his first ride... and the wait was long


for weeks leading up to the trip, I searched high and low for a shirt that would be perfect for his first trip to Disneyland, And think I nailed. Micky with a Mohawk... one of Tye's Favorite styles, I might attempt to do one on our next trip... We got the shirt form the Disney Store online




 I was kinda freaked out by "Its a Small world" but he seemed to enjoy it



Knocked out on the long ride on.... Stay tuned for more Disney Fun.... Since i have the season pass, I plan on going to only 1 area each time and hopefully we can do everything :o) eventually
Next Stop Fantasy Land, I want to do the Tea Cups
