Styles for Short Curls

As we all know, not every curly top has the same length or amount of hair.  Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed or confused when it comes to styling your little one's curls, especially if their curls are extremely short.  

Ms. J's hair is short and her mommy is totally okay with it and instead of feeling overwhelmed, she has found several styles that work for her lovely daughter.  She has also modified some styles to make that those styles work on Ms. J's short hair.  

Thank you Mrs Rachel for sharing these amazing cute styles with us!

Ms. Rachel says:

"Other simple styles I have done on my daughter are the following:

• Afro puffs are an easy style you can create in minutes, you can create one, two, four... or as many as you want;
• braided buns;
• four cornrows... etc.

Plaits are great protective style and easy to do, it works on all length of hair and they can be done in different sizes as well"

Another Curly Cutie as a Guest!

I am so happy to introduce you to one of my favorite curly cuties!  

To protect her privacy, we will call her "Ms. J".    

Ms. J's mommy is Rachel, and as a mother of a curly cutie has learned a lot about caring for Ms. J's wonderful curls.  

Rachel shares:

I wash Ms. J's hair every two week or three weeks by using the Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Shampoo and Reconstructive Conditioner. 

I add a little bit Jojoba Oil or Olive Oil to the conditioner and let it sit on her wet hair for about 10 to 15 minutes with a shower cap on.  Then I rinse the hair completely out.

To style her hair I use Cantu Daily Moisturizer.

I tried to do as many protective styles as possible.  Mainly in braids due to the low maintenance and the styles last a lot longer.  Once the braids are out I usually let her hair breath by just doing two simple pony tails or twists. 

My daughter's hair grows very slow so it is very important that we take good care of her hair.

Friday's Fresh Look!

I meant to post this sooner but our weekend got a little bit crazy! 

Due to Thursday's wild adventure, I had to re-style Ms. Bree's hair.  I decided to do something very simple that I could re-touch or re-do, if needed it.  This is her Friday Look.  

I also want to mention that we are trying two new products: Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo and Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Restorative Conditioning Milk. I will post the reviews on these two products in approximately three weeks (in order to write an accurate review on the products and how her hair reacted to it).

After washing Ms. Bree's hair with the Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Shampoo and Conditioning Milk, I sectioned her hair in two big sections (parting from ear to ear);

I applied Bee Mine Luscious Moisturizer and detangled the bottom section with my fingers first, then I gently used the wide tooth comb to make sure her hair was completely free of any knots or tangles;

I divided the bottom section in two, (parting from top to bottom) in order to do two pony tails; then I did one big braid in each pony tail.  
     

After I applied Bee Mine Luscious Moisturizer to front section, I made sure it was completely detangled.  

I sectioned the front part into 6 sections (see picture below);  I used ouchless bands to do the "connectors" style.  

After I applied the ouchless band on the bottom left section, I braided the hair enough to bring it over the top (middle) section, and tight the hair with another ouchless band.  

Then I repeated the process on the left top section, brought the hair over to the bottom (middle section), which formed an "X" pattern.  Then continued with the same technique and added the right sections.
