Valentines Style: Braided Heart Ponytails

So.. it’s not quite Valentines day yet, but we did this style a little early to give you all another idea for the holiday. We actually started out planning to do a different heart style by Goldilocks*N*Me but the mood struck me to braid so we switched it up and came up with this style. Braided hearts are Keyanna’s favorite so she was definitely pleased when we finished, and has received tons of compliments by all her friends and teachers. 

For this style all I did was basically “draw” out the hearts using the end of a rat tail comb, tie them off using a rubber band, and then make an outline around each heart for the braids. I started at the top of the heart and braided down each side. After the 3 hearts were done I just did random small ponytails all over her head with the remaining hair and then braided them and added beads.

Style Quickie: Braided Pony With Beads

Pretty simple. I did 2 cornrows across the front of her head to give her some "bangs", pulled the rest of the hair into a ponytail, braided it all and added some beads.

Style Quickie: Twisted Pony's

Another quick school morning style for y’all! This style is from last April, it took about 20 minutes or so.. Simple and cute! I just parted her hair across the front, then again going down the back. I banded off each of those sections, did some twists, added some beads and we were done. I used some coconut oil and our Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie for this one, it gives us a good hold for our twists.

Throwback: Our First Twist Out!

Here's a pic of Key rockin' our first attempt at a twist out. She was around 3 years and I had just started doing her hair. 

FLAT TWISTS WITH BEADS INTO ROPE TWIST PONIES

So for this style I had originally planned to do her whole head in flat twists going into a mohawk, but after starting I realized it was a lot harder to add beads into the flat twists and keep them looking "neat" than I had imagined. So we settled for 3 flat twists on each side going into a high pony, and then 2 more ponies in the back. I did rope twists with all of the loose hair and ended them with more beads. Even though it's not what I had originally pictured doing I thought it came out pretty cute :) 

To add the beads into the flat twists I first parted out the hair I was going to use, I then took a little bit of hair from the beginning of that section and added a few beads with my beader, I then continued on doing the flat twist adding the hair back in as I went.

Okay, so we’ve all been in this position… 

You need to be somewhere, like.. NOW! And need to do your little girls hair in a hurry. I’ve been there many, many, many  times myself, unfortunately i’m one of those parents who is always running behind. So needless to say, I love a quick style. Here’s a one I did on Keyanna for a school event we were going to. 

INSTRUCTIONS: 

Time: 25 min
Products used: Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Curl and Style Conditioning Milk

1. This style is pretty basic. I parted her hair diagonally, starting in front of the right ear and going behind the left ear, and banded off that section
2. With the remaining loose hair I made 4 sections and banded them off. 
3. I then did about 3 hanging braids per section, added beads and we were ready to go.
