Cornrow Mohawk with 3 strand twists

Hola Mamis! I'm still feeling twists so I've decided to do some 3 strand twists on Kurly T. We washed and conditioned with Mixed Chicks, I detangled with Suave Almond and Shea Butter Conditioner because the slip is amazing and so is the smell! We oiled and banded to dry overnight. This time we styled with a sample packet of Taliah Waajid Kinky, Wavy, Natural Herbal Shine and Style. I got this sample from the Taliah Waajid Natural Hair Care Center in Atlanta, GA. They are right around the corner from where I work and I never knew it. The place from the outside kinda looks like a hole in the wall, but, I digress. This product was creamy and thick and we like that! It smelled awesome, kinda like a sweet candy. It gave awesome curl definition when I applied it to the section to be braided, so we might have to use this on an "out" style. It left the braids and twists shiny and didn't weigh them down. The twists came out plump and juicy, this will be an awesome twist out! We've also used the Protective Mist Bodifier from Taliah Waajid. It is an awesome detangler and moisturizer. I put it in a spray bottle and add water and oils for a spritzer. Our glitter beads are from Curly is Cuter. We hope you likey! Happy Styling!

**UPDATE**
The Taliah Waajid Kinky, Wavy, Natural Herbal Shine and Style is the TRUTH! After 2 weeks her braids had very little fuzz! OMG! This is my new favorite product. I picked some up at the local BSS for $4.99. I can't wait to use it again! I probably could have left these cornrows in for another 2 weeks, but my Kurly T is an active 2 year old and she likes to roll around on the floor and ground outside so it's a must that we wash often.

Cornrows and Triangle Banded Sister Twists

I've had Senegalese Twists in my hair for about a month and I felt like doing some twists for Kurly T. We washed and conditioned with Mixed Chicks, oil and banded to dry overnight. I used Blended Beauty to style with, cuz that's what we're loving right now. I cornrowed the front and parted the back in triangles, banded and sister twisted. Sister twists are 2 strand twists that have the 2 strands twisted counter clockwise individually before twisting them clockwise over each other. (I hope that makes sense). Our butterfly beads came from Curly is Cuter! We love them! We hope you likey. Happy Styling!

Bee Mine Moisturizer, Curly Butter and Daily Spritz Review

We're back with Part 2 of the Bee Mine Product Review. We left off with Kurly T's hair wet, oiled, banded and left to dry. Today, I will apply the Bee Mine Balanced Cream Moisturizer and Bee Hold Curly Butter to style and finish with the Juicy Moisturizing Daily Spritz.

Bee Mine Balanced Cream Moisturizer
8 oz $18
2 oz $5.50

This product moisturizes like a dream! After removing the bands I applied the moisturizer through her hair and began to style. The scent is amazing, it reminds me of candy and Kurly T loves the "bee lady".

Bee Hold Curly Butter
8 oz $13.97
2 0z $4.50

After applying the moisturizer to the hair, I applied the curly butter the each section before cornrowing and twisting. It kept the braids and twists frizz free! I did cornrows in the front and banded box sister twists in the back. I wasn't sure if I liked the mixture of braids and twists but we got lots of compliments. We hope you likey!

Juicy Moisturizing Daily Spritz
8 oz $12.97
2 0z $4

I spray the juicy on Kurly T's hair daily for an awesome moisturizing shine. It smells like candy too and we both love it.

I really love these Bee Mine products and will definitely consider them staples in our regimine. I am still loving the fact that these products are silicone, sulfate, paraben and protein free! The next products I would like to try in this line is Deja's Hair Milk and Bee-u-ti-ful Moisturizing Deep Conditioner. Thanks again to Bee Mine for allowing me to review their products.

**UPDATE**
After 7 days Kurly T's hair is still holding strong! I love Bee Mine!
