Guick and Easy ponytail style for natural Hair


So here's a a quick mini post and a simple hairstyle that i think is a classic, ponytails and barrettes, what's not to love, it has such a big variety you can do just about anything.


the front is ponytail is encased by two braids into a ponytail.

The ponytails at the crown are in a triangle type design

and the back is squared ponies


For this style I used
cantu leave in conditioner
and my oil mix, with water.


I loved how her 4c hair helped the twist, and her twist out Was LOVELY

Diy Carnival Games... Phineas and Ferb Rock Star Carnival


So Tye's 5th Birthday is coming up, and we're having a 
Phineas and Ferb Rock Star Carnival

I don't know why i Picked Such a Mishmash-ed theme, I knew i was going to have to buy/make everything
and i probably should've started awhile ago, but my first DIY is the Bean Bag can Toss Game

 

here's on of my inspiration, although it looks like they used pringle type cans 


I've used some seal aluminum cans i got from good time attractions for 1.75 each (but in hindsight I totally could've gotten some cans from a dollar store, but who wants busted cans with food spilling out?


and wrapped them in fun  carnivally paper to try and match the theme

Stay tuned for more

Phineas and Ferb Rock Star's Carnival 
themed post the closer we get to D day In  December

Braided and Twist Style for Tweens and Teens

So i went to visit some family and when ever i'm around, everyone tries to gfet in a quickie, while i'm there (getting their hair done) and my Chicken was no exception... Its can be really hard to Find a style for a tween or teen that's not too babyish or to mature of a style, and then to have it be quick and low maintenance is near impossible


We started off with hair that was washed and put into some chunk braids, she did this all by herself :o) (she's going to kill me for this picture, they have to learn someday to care for their naturally curly hair at some point right?





I started by parting the hair in half from ear to ear, and then splitting the back in half


and the top into random partings and sectioning it off with metal free elastic ponytail holders
and started to braid each chunk into smaller braids
      


although she loves the fro look her mom wanted something that would lost longer since i wasn't around


So She got Twist in the back


All done



for this style i used just for me detangler
Africans best hair grease
organic root stimulater loc and twist gel
various rubberbands for sectioning
and brush and comb

total styling time and hour and a half, including the twisting

and here's a flashback of my chicken

still rocking the fro and braids

Criss Cross, back to school Braids with beads


So  i decided to do a little something different, with my lil sister's hair for this style, she likes the whole faux out or water fall look, and here is a different take on it using crisscross braids, and her favorite glow in the dark beads



i decided to do a  half slanted style and half straight back for quickness
 

to achieve the  crisscross or X style, i parted two sections for braids, and after braiding for a length i would cross over, i whish i would've taken a step by step photo, maybe next time
 

















products used

Cantu, nuNAAT, T tree, and my special mix of oils

Style time
                                                                        45 Minutes

Growing out Boys Hair

Most likely once a boy has gotten their hair cut, they never get it grown out again because of the awkward in between stage, where it just looks a mess....

My cousin Eris is a prime example, he has decided more than once to grow out his hair and each time he has meet the clippers..... But this year has been tough on his family because he mom has been in poor health, and hair cuts for the  year old had been on the back burner...










 



here's some pictures








I was and am apparently still the only who can do his hair








stay tuned for finished photos




So for now Eric and his Hair is Safe from the clippers of Doom, and i'll have a reason to try and document his hair journey on the blog of growing out naturally curly hair on boys, lets see how it goes

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,
mini's for school
