More Braids x 3

Once again, I had 3 heads to do! It didn't take as long this time as last time though. This time I washed and conditioned with Mixed Chicks and used Blended Beauty Happy Nappy Styles and Jelly Cream to moisturize and style with (Review coming soon). OMG, I love this stuff. Now, I love the Bee Mine for styling too, but the Happy Nappy Styles has a much thicker and stickier consistency. It helped me grip the twins hair very well, since their hair is relaxed (Not my doing and so disappointed about that, but I digress...). With the twins I didn't have to band, I put their hair in 2 french braids and they slept in their bonnets. With Kurly T, I banded overnight to dry as usual, but since we had an outing to go to (We took 4 toddlers and a preschooler to Monkey Joes Indoor Inflatable Playground), I did it a little different? You likey?

Her hair looked similar to the twins, minus the braids. Sorry, no pic of the twins, I forgot.

I used the Blended Beauty Jelly cream to moisturize the hair before combing since it was dry. (We never comb dry hair, right? Right.) Then on each section to cornrow I added a small amount of Blended Beauty Happy Nappy Styles. The combo added sheen to the hair and kept the hair from sticking up out of the braid. I like the way these styles turned out and we've got lots of compliments. Hope you Enjoy and Happy Styling!

  1. I have 3 heads of hair to do too, so believe me I feel where you are coming from :) I like the way the braids go up to the top of her head. I am going to have to try that style on my daughter.

  3. Love the banded pony tails! Love it! The Blended Beauty, is it something that's strictly online or they sell it at stores too? I've been having issues with my little one's shine. If you have a moment, maybe you can peep it & advise. Also, how do you position her to braid the back up? (Don't know if I said that right)
    Keep Shining!!!!!

  4. Thanks Andrea! She has a kiddie chair that she sits in and we face each other while her head is between my knees. She's usually asleep by this time. I start doing the front part of her hair first to accommodate for this position since she can't see the tv (lol). As for right now, I believe Blended Beauty is only available online. But it is so worth it! They also have decent sample sizes (2oz) to try out first before committing to the regular size!
