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.

Hair Carnival.......CopyCaT styles

So we get to do another copycat, style....Yay, but with the camera out of commission i didn't really know what i was going to do, I was paired with "Expressions of a Drama Tween" who not only has a "hair issues" but is also a picky eater.... as i was going through her blog i found a couple of things i wanted to try or have done in the past...
i noticed her daugther Yaya, loved to wear her hair in in any kinda of braid twist or Bantu knot out, which works perfect for her age, but since i was working on a 3 year old i had to mix it up a bit.I put little ms. H's braid out half up and half down,since I nor or mother would've liked all of that waistline hair to be out all day.


this is a simple braid out to achieve this look and brushed half into a ponytail and left the rest down and added a cute  barrette to cover up the plain rubber band and match her outfit

first up is her random style she did her drama tween using zig zag parts, I must say my favorite because i did something similar

and she is always on the search for yummy lunches for her daughter,

and here are some of my fun tricks i have tried with tye, to get him some variety and fun

a spider made out of oranges grapes and apple slices

Peanut Butter and Strawberry Jelly on pita bread, with goldfish and fruit skewers

diy peanut butter and banana crackers,, like her homemade lunchable of cheese and crackers





and being a mother and a preschool teacher who is always trying to come up with something fun, I thought i  will give it a try at documenting all of the goodies i come up with, thanks for the inspirations, Melly...

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 ?

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

who knew something so cute, could come from the inspriration on an Rv.

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
