CC's Braids!!! :)

Hey all,

So... for the past two weeks or so, CC has been wearing her hair in an Afro puff. She was tired of the twists, and was looking for something different.  She brought it to my attention that she wanted to get some braids.  She wanted them so that her hair can rest and be protected in this crazy weather we're having...AND she didn't want to have to worry about her hair along with getting ready for college and end of school activities.  

Now of course, I didn't mind doing them... I enjoy the time we have together... and since she's been doing her own hair for so long (tears), I jumped on the opportunity to have that special one on one time with her. 

So... In order to get the braids the way we wanted them, I used:

(2) bags Black & Gold Braid (#2)

(2) bags Black & Gold Braid (#2/30)

Water

Blended Beauty Natural Hair Oil

Ampro Pro Styl Gel

Organic Root Stimulator Oilve Oil Nourishing Sheen Spray

I sectioned her hair into three sections (one of my own mind tricks I play on myself to get it down in a timely manner).  I made sure to keep her hair moisturized with water before braiding it, in order to make it easier to get the hair in.  Before applying the extensions, I used Pro Styl Gel to make her hair smooth and have an better mix of her hair and the braid hair. 

Her hair is very long, so I had to do them pretty long in order to encompass her gorgeous kinks.

Braiding section one...

Braiding section 2...

As I braided, I used the Blended Beauty Natural Hair Oil to keep her hair and scalp nicely oiled up. Once her hair was completely braided, this was how it looked on the ends:

I boiled some water, added oil to it... And then dipped her braids to get this result:

Once it was all dipped, I gave it a finished coat of Blended Beauty Natural Hair Oil, Pro Styl Gel, and Organic Root Stimulator Oilve Oil Nourishing Sheen Spray.

The Final Product:

CC then decided to try her little Tam on with it... She was getting her stylin' right!! :) 

And, it wouldn't be complete without Choca jumping in... :)

How cute is this style?? It took me about 5 1/2 hours from beginning to end to complete... and we used about  three bags of hair.  This style will last her 2-3 months. 

I think CC looks amazing, and I so happy to have had this wonderful time with her...

Valentine's Day Hair Carnival!!! (HEARTS "R" US)

Hey all!!

So, some bloggers and I decided to get together and have a Valentine's Day Hair Carnival... showcasing some cute and sassy Valentine's Day hairstyles...

I decided I'd follow suit with MANY others and put a heart in BB's hair... It's a first for me... AND, I only had about 15 minutes to get it done this morning...

Products Used:

Water
Blended Beauty Happy Nappy Styles
Pink & Red Sidewinder Hair Holders

I sprayed her entire head down with water, put on the Blended Beauty Happy Nappy Styles, and finger detangled it.

I decided to put her 'braided heart' on the right side of her hair... towards the front, because that was the easiest place for me to do a quick heart without getting too much hair in the way.  I cornrowed two 'borders' around the BIG cornrow in the center to create some dimension.  I then added a pink and red Sidewinder Hair Holder to make it pop!!! I let a little bit of her hair out on this side to give it a little curly flair!

On the other side, I simply gave her a cornrow in the front of her hair and put the rest of it in a ponytail.

And, VOILA:

Not bad for a 15 minute style, huh???

I hope you all enjoyed this style!!! It was pretty easy to do, and very stylish to wear!! She loves it, I love it... So... It's a win/win! :)
