Side Cornrows and Box Braids

Hola Mamis! Everyone is doing protective styling all over the place...so we're on the bandwagon too!! This week I did some side cornrows and box braids. I used Mixed Chicks shampoo, deep conditioner and leave in (review coming soon!). I attempted to stretch the hair overnight but it didn't dry all the way (maybe next time). I used Bee Mine Luscious Balanced Cream Moisturizer and Bee Hold Curly Butter in coconut cream scent (review coming soon!) for hold and got a nice result. I have been misting with Bee Mine Juicy Moisturizing Daily Spritz for moisture and shine. I used our clear glitter beads that we got from Curly Is Cuter and then we were done. Kurly T stayed awake the whole time, which was about 3 hours. She is Mommy's big girl! I really like this style and we've got lots of compliments already. We will be doing this again. Enjoy!

Halo Puff

I don't know why, but Kurly T's hair is the longest in the back, the thickest in the middle towards the front and short on the sides. I think she looks so cute when she has her hair in 1 puff but those side hairs come loose after a while giving her a wild "halo" look. So I tried to get the "halo" before it got me...lol. I parted a circle all the way around her head, made 1 ponytail, cornrowed her some bangs and decorated the "halo" with some butterfly beads that I got from Curly Is Cuter. They are so adorable!

This 'do was supposed to be a ponytail with little coils. Well, that didn't really work out so well. I put the coils in with Curls Gel-les'c and they were okay. Kinda puffy at the base but really coily at the ends. Well the next day they looked like this...

Her father said "She looks like Medusa...but she's cute!" So I quickly grabbed our spray bottle of water and Taliah Waajid Protective Mist Bodifier and separated the coils for a "coil out" and we got a juicy coil out puff! Let me know what you think!!
