After Easter style!!

Two posts in one night, this never happens right? Lol, I'm trying to make up for lost time here so I can suck a little less at blogging:)

Since I didn't wash Skye's hair this past weekend, it ended up being really greasy and suffering from a major product overload! I let her wear her Easter style on Monday and then washed it out Monday evening. I used Shea Moisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curling Control Shampoo to wash and then Tresemme Naturals Nourishing Moisture Conditioner as a co-wash. I used Bee Mine Luscious Moisturizer and sealed with jojoba oil as a leave in conditioner. I detangled her hair, banding the roots and twisting the rest down to the ends; then I let it air dry overnight. To style this morning, I just made two ponytails in the front and took the twists out and I left the back twisted. It came out pretty cute and it should last for the whole week!

 

 

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!

Valentine's Hurr:)

Ignore the huge mess in the background...this was the only pic that showed off her new Skechers!!

Happy (belated) Valentine's Day! Here's a quick post on how Miss Skye wore her hair for her Kindergarten Valentine's Day Party (and for the rest of the week so far)...including a link to where I stole/borrowed the hairstyle from! This style was really easy to do and I think it turned out pretty well. I plan on trying some other 'heart' styles in the near future. Anywho, I rounded up the usual suspects...Bee Mine Curly Butter and Bee Mine Luscious Moisturizer. I added a twist/bang to the front and did a twist-out in the back...and here's how it all turned out:

You can really see the new growth vs. texturized hair in the close-ups...can't wait til she's 100% natural, she's at about 30% right now!

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.

Mini Twists are OUT // Banded Twist Out!

Hi everybody! Spent all day Sunday taking down the mini twists, detangling, washing, and banding hair! Fun times as always:) After I finished taking the twists down, I detangled in sections and added coconut oil as a pre wash treatment. I braided each section (about 5 braids total) so that her hair wouldn't tangle back up. After the shampoo, and with her hair still braided, I added some Hair Mayo by Organic Root Stimulator as a protein treatment. I left that on for about 15-20 minutes and then rinsed it out. Then I added our usual leave in conditioner (the Kimmaytube recipe we've been using) and sealed with Shea Butter. Usually I just band her new growth towards the top, but this time I banded each twisted ponytail all the way down to stretch it so we could see a little more length. This was my first time doing this and I must say that I love how the bands made the twist out look a bit more wavy in addition to showing her length! I just removed the bands, seperated the twists, then I put one ponytail at the top and left the rest hanging down. Pictures below! And as always, thank you so much for reading!

Skye's Style for the Week - Twist Out

Skye will be taking school pictures today and I wanted her to have her hair out, so we decided to go with a trusty old twist out with a few flat twists in the front for this week's style. I actually borrowed this style from this Beads, Braids, and Beyond post.

Skye has two different textures in her hair and I like to stretch out the tighter curls by using the banding technique...which is explained beautifully here. I just use one ouchless ponytail holder and wrap it around 3 times at the base of each section, since that is where the tighter curls are. Then I just twist each section down to the ends. I used Shea Moisture's Organic Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Style Milk, this was my first time trying this product from the line and I really liked it.

These are my favorite ponytail holders to use right now. I got them from Family Dollar for only $1 for 36! I love shopping there for cute and cheap hair accessories!

I added 3 flat twists i the front, using rubberbands to hold them in place. Then I just banded and twisted each section.

I left the twists in overnight, then in the morning I just removed the bands and separated the twists, then added a bow on the opposite side of the flat twists!
