Tell us a little about yourself and your daughter: 

My name is Tanya, I’m 27 years old and have a wonderful little girl named Ava, who is almost 4 years old. I served in the Army for 4 years, and Ava currently goes to Pre-School. I am married to my husband Tavares and we live in the Bahamas, Ava has a little brother named Carson! 

What is your daughters current hair routine like? 

Wash and Condition, and let air dry. 

What are your favorite products to use? 

Leave in conditioner/ detangler. 

Have you ever used chemicals or heat in your daughters hair? 

I’ve Tried blow drying it, but it makes it really dry and frizzy. 

How did you learn to care for your daughters hair? 

Watching A LOT of YouTube. 

Was there anything you really struggled with learning about caring  for or styling your daughters hair? Anything you’re looking forward to mastering? 

I still can’t figure out how to do the 4 strand braid… but I know someday I will get it!

Any tips for our readers? 

Just listen to your baby, if she says she’s tired of sitting then let her rest for a while and finish up later that day.

Show us some pics!

Tanya has been a friend of ours on Facebook for a while now and I always enjoy seeing the cute new styles she comes up with for Ava. Thanks so much for sharing!

Pull Through Ponytail Headband

I did this style on Keyanna a few weeks ago after she had been wearing her hair down for a while and she was fed up and annoyed with it always being in her face. I started by parting her hair ear to ear and tying off the back section. Then I began parting her hair in small straight sections and tying them off into little ponytails. After I had done that to the whole front section of hair I started with the first section and took our beader and pushed it under the the rubber band towards her forehead, I took the hair from that same small pony and slipped it into the opening of the beader. I then pulled that hair back under the rubber band through the hole created by the beader and viola! A pull through pony! I continued doing this to every small pony and it created a headband effect that kept her hair out of her face all day.

I probably should have taken step by step pictures as I did this style and it would be a whole lot easier to explain but I didn’t think of it at the time so hopefully you get the jist of it.
