My First Beads...

Beads are fun.... TOO MUCH FUN!  

Ms. Bree's latest hair style is Box Braids accessorized with beads and snaps.  

This was a 2 day process for me, mainly because I didn't want her to sit still for a very long time.  Ms. Bree has a very lively personality!  

I started by washing her hair on Saturday then I "banded" banded her hair so her hair could be stretched out.

On Sunday: I did the regular box braids and used rubber bands at the end.  This process took me about 1 hr.   

On Monday (after school): I replaced all the rubber bands and accessorize on each braid, with beads at the end.  Each braid has 15 beads and a snap at the end.  She chose the heart shape snaps herself so I used those. 

Ms. Bree totally loved the beads in her hair mainly because they make a small noise when she moves her head.  

When I dropped Ms. Bree off at school, her teacher and several mothers gave us so many compliments about the hair, "Bree's hair is always done so beautifully I can't believe you do it all the time".  

This was my first attempt at adding beads to her braids and I have to say that we are very pleased with the results. In all honesty getting compliments from other mothers really busted my confidence.    I can probably say that I obsess over things that people really don't notice.

POSITIVE:  This is another great protective hair style and is very easy to maintain.    

NEGATIVE:  You will probably laugh at this, the only negative side I found is that other kids love to play with her beads too.  

Ms. Bree wouldn't stop showing her beads to other kids and with a lot of little hands touching her hair... now her braids are a bit fuzzy and she lost a few beads because she thought she could undo and redo them herself.   The great mind of a three year old.  

BOTTOM LINE: Ms Bree loved it and she had lots of fun with it.  


NEXT, you will be seeing more "FREE HAIR" styles as I am planning to give her scalp a break.  

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.

Another way to style it:

ANOTHER SIMPLE STYLE:

Thank you Rachel for sharing these gorgeous styles with us.
