Veil with Cornrow "Halo" and a Puff

Okay, so it was Kurly boy MJ's 5th birthday party this weekend so that left very little time for hair! So I opted for a quick but cute style. This probably will only last for a week, but that's okay. I washed and conditioned with Mixed Chicks. Detangled with Giovanni Direct Leave In mixed with water, oiled, banded and left to air dry overnight. I didn't have a style idea in mind, which is totally unlike me! I normally think for days about what I'm going to do to Kurly T's hair. But I needed something quick so I did a veil. The pictures below are actually of 2nd day hair. At first it was just a veil and the puff but after picking Kurly T up from school on Monday, her "Halo" was all over the place! That was such a no no. So I came home and cornrowed the "Halo" to tame it and added a bead at the beginning for sheer cuteness. I really like this style. I really like that there are no beads on her ends. I've been wondering if excessive beading causes damage, after all I do use them on almost every style. I only use olive oil soaked rubberbands to secure them and I never put them on too tight. But her ends are looking kind of ragged. What do you guys think about beading all the time? Let me know. We hope you likey! Happy Styling!

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!!
