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.

Stay Tuned for a giveaway coming up :o)

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

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.

Boys braided faux hawk, with twist

so you all know i love a fro on tye, but i also love the mohawk....

if you didn't check out the last one I did on little ms. S, you can see the little girl version  of the braid and twist mohawk. faux hawk here

 I started out \by moisturizing and detangling his fro... it looks like a lot of work but it wasn't....

this is what his hair looked like after detangling...

 i then proceeded to section his hair into  5 parts, just like the girly variation of the style

you see the perfect little coil? got to love it

double trouble

 have you done anything similar? we loved to see pictures

Halloween.... Hair Carnival

It is that time again for another hair carnival. How lucky are you readers, 3 different carnivals in the same month, If you missed the breast cancer awareness carnival or the Halloweens past, you can check them out by clicking the links,

This year Tye went as Caption Ameriica(?) is that his name? you may ask why i have the costume but don't know who it is? I got this costume last year for my son's 3rd Superhero Birthday Party  , (link comingg soon)

and best part it was 90 percent off I think  paid no more than 2 dollars,

He's rocking a mini fro, the plan was to have it all nice and picked   out so i can post some pictures over at Baby Big Hair, but didn't work,

i have to say he was the cutest super hero of the night.

We only made it to 10 houses because we got home late, but we made out with two plastic bags full of candy... told you he was cute, everyone kept gushing over him and giving him more. It could also have to do with the fact that there was another little girl dressed as wonder woman with the biggest curliest fro ever..... :o)

 

He's raising his fist in the air, Lol all he needs is a pic......
