Chunky Beads for Chunky Braids

Hey y'all! We have had these beads since before Kurly T could walk. I would put her hair in about 7 or 8 ponytails and add these chunky beads. This was before I learned to cornrow. We used to use them all the time, so we've decided to revisit them. I put 2 ponytails up front separated by a zig zag part in the middle and did 2 rows of chunky cornrows in the back. I cornrowed 2 small braids in the front around the ponytails to tame her "halo" or else I would have to touch this style up daily, which is a no, no because we like low manipulation styles around here. I added ribbons around the ponytails for cuteness. This style was really quick because the braids were bigger and as an added bonus we can change the ribbons daily to match her outfits! How fun! Hope you likey! Happy Styling ladies!

X marks the spot!

We are continuing with our bead break so I've decided to put some braided ponies in Kurly T's hair. I washed and conditioned with Mixed Chicks, moisturized with Giovanni Direct Leave In mixed with water and sealed with castor oil. I used Taliah Waajid Kinky Wavy Natural Herbal Style & Shine to style. I love this stuff! I parted from ear to ear, then put 2 ponies up front. Then parted an X in the back part of her hair and separated the hair into 4 ponies. I used double rubberbands soaked in olive oil to band the ponies. I braided 5 braids per pony and added extra product to the end to twirl to give the curly look. I added some ballies to the front 2 ponies and matching Goody pony holders to the back. I liked this look because I was able to change the colors of her hair accessories daily giving a whole new look! We will definitely be doing this again. We hope you likey! Happy Styling!
