Triangle "Box" Braids

Here are some banded box braids parted into triangle shapes. I was trying something new. I think it turned out cute. I used square shaped beads on the ends. Let me know what you think!

Please don't mind my hand in the way, she wouldn't hold still. But she's only 2, she still has ants in her pants. LOL!

Organix Shampoo and Herbal Essence Conditioner

Ok, so thanks to Nikki of Beads, Braids and Beyond, I've decided to try the Organix Coconut Milk Shampoo and Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Conditioner.

I got the Organix for $5.99 and the HEHH for $5. What a steal, huh?

They both smell delicious! I didn't have to use a lot of the shampoo but I piled the conditioner onto her hair and used it as a leave in. It was super easy to detangle! I was able to style in no time. I greased her scalp with the BB super gro and used the Smooth n Shine Conditioning Gel for her edges.

My camera is on the fritz so I tried taking pics with my phone, but they didn't come out as light as I wanted. But the style is criss crossed box braids into 2 ponytails with our signature "bang." I added heart shaped beads cuz they are Kurly T's fave! It was my first time trying this style and I really like it. I think next time I'll use some colored rubberbands. Hope you like it!
