Easter Hurr!!

So sorry for the lack of posts, I've been adjusting to working full-time and going back to school full time as well. Anywho, I enjoy blogging and I hope to start posting more and more!

We took the mini twists down about two weeks ago, so we kept them for a total of 7 weeks (I think) and they looked like they'd been in for about 3 months, lol. After the mini twists, I put in some flat twists in the front with medium sized twists in the back, and that lasted for about two weeks. I really love the protective styles and we will probably do another one before she gets out of school for the summer. On to the Easter hurr...

I ended up doing a fairly simple style. I removed the medium twists, flat-ironed her hair (a little!) and trimmed her ends, then I put in the flexirod rollers. They make the prettiest little curls! I redid the flat twists in the front so they looked fresh, and used rubberbands to hold them in place. Skye really loved the way her hair turned out!

It's getting pretty tough dealing with the two textures now that she has soooo much new growth. We may consider doing the BIG CHOP in a few months! But then again, as long as I take my time and keep it moisturized maybe I can continue transitioning without the BC. I will definitely keep you guys posted!

Spring Picture Day!!

So, as you can see here, I did a simple ponytail style with flat twists for Skye's picture day at school. It looked really cute when she left for school in the morning, but I guess she started acting like a 5 year old and her super cute ponytail turned into what you see below. The pictures came out really adorable, but I wish I could've been there to fix her hair!

Before she went to school!

Picture Day Hurr:)

Hi! Picture day was this past Tuesday and we went with a simple ponytail with flat twists in the front. I initially wanted a twist out in the back but I added some little rollers to the two strand twists and I didn't like the way the curls came out. I ended up just pulling it up into a high ponytail and it came out pretty cute, so she wore it for the whole week! I used Bee Mine Curly Butter on the flat twists, and Bee Mine Luscious Moisturizer on the rest of her hair and sealed with coconut oil. It stayed really soft and moisturized for the whole week! I'll post the Spring Pictures as soon as I get them back, hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Here's one with the tiny rollers that made curls I didn't like! I ended up using flexirods to stretch out the curls more...then I braided the curls to get a more wavy look.

Style for the Week of 1/8/12!!

After about two or three weeks of wearing her hair out, Skye has finally gone back to a protective style! After I washed her hair, I used Suave Naturals Tropical Coconut conditioner mixed with Jojoba oil and Castor Oil as a leave in...and I didn't love it. I moisturize her hair daily and it still seems much drier than it was with the Kinky Curly Knot Today. So when we wash this week, I'll have to try something different. I bought a few new products yesterday so I'll let you guys know how that works out. Anywho, for this week's style I just put some flat twists with rubberbands in the front and added some medium sized two-strand twists in the back. Well, my goal was to make medium sized twists but some of them still came out pretty small. In fact, I'm pretty sure every twist on her head came out a different size, lol. Hopefully I'll do a much neater job this weekend, but this will do for now! I've added some pics below, and they all include Skye's "Mommy please leave me alone so I can go to school" face! Thanks for reading and I hope you all have an awesome week:)
