Loose Two Strand Twists

Last night, I took it upon myself to change Princess's hair for school today. She will be in a play tomorrow and wanted to wear her hair down. So I put two strand twists in her hair. Before the play, I will take them out so her hair can be nice and curly! Here's photos of the results of loose two strand twists.

HOW I ACHIEVED THIS LOOK

TOTAL STYLING TIME: 3 hours (Given the length of her hair of course)

PRODUCTS USED: Water, Just For Me! Soft & Beautiful 2-n-1 Condtioning Detangler, Herbal Esscences Hello Hydration Conditioner, & Kids Organics Gro Strong Triple Action Growth Stimulating Therapy

1. Since I had no time to wash her hair, I simply sprayed water and Just For Me! Soft & Beautiful 2-n-1 Conditioning Detangler all over her hair to give it that wet look and combed through it, detangling it.
2. I parted her hair from ear to ear and separated the top section from the back section.
3. I then used the end of a rattail comb to part the rows, but used my fingers to separate the sections of the strands.
4. While wet, I applied a generous amount of Herbal Esscences Hello Hydration Conditioner as moisturizer & generous amount of Kids Organics Gro Strong Triple Action Growth Stimulating Therapy to reduce frizziness to each strand before twisting it.
5. I did her twists small so she could have nice tight curls tomorrow.
6. I did step four throughout her whole head and the pictures up top were the end results!

I think using these products & elements together was good, because when she woke up this morning her hair was still fresh and not dried out. I didn't have to do much to it. This was my first time using the HEHH product. I've seen it used and mention numerous times on Mixed Roots and on Beads, Braids, & Beyond, so I definitely had to try it. I'm not going to speak much on how it was because I plan posting a review of the product in the very near future!

Three Strand Twists To Spiral Curls

Want to give your daughter spiral curls without using a curling iron? Well, you can! The other day I put three strand twists in my daughter's hair and when I finally took them out (days later), they came out in spiral curls! Check Beads, Braids, & Beyond for a post on three strands to spiral curls & my last entry!

I applied Kids Organic Gro Strong Triple Action to one of the curls to give it a little shine. When I noticed how well it turned out, I decided to do the whole back half of her head, which is the reason for the post before this one! I can't wait to see how it turns out!

ALSO, the Beautiful Biracial Store is now open for business! I've only posted the jewelry, but there's loads more to come so keep checking back for updates!

Half Cornrows & Three Strand Twists (Back)

This hairstyle, Half Cornrows & Three Strand Twists (Back), was heavily inspired by Beads, Braids, & Beyond. Monday morning, I'll be taking out the three strand twists so they can hang, so for the weekend, it's like this! I've always wanted to try this hairstyle because Ms. Nikki styled it so beautifully in her daughter's hair!

HOW I ACHIEVED THIS LOOK

1. First I parted her hair from ear to ear to separate the part that I was going to braid from the part that I was going to twist.
2. I started off by using the end of a rat tail comb to part her hair and doing the individual three strand twists. By the time I got half way done, I stopped using the comb and started parting with my fingers (lazy, lol).
3. Since I had not washed her hair before starting this hairstyle, with each twist, I sprayed Just For Me! Soft & Beautiful  2-n-1 Conditioning Detangler and applied a small amount of Kids Organic Gro Strong Triple Action to give it shine and reduce frizziness.
4. After three strand twisting her hair, I began cornrowing the top. I braided each braid half way down and three strand twisted the rest.
5. To keep three strand twists from unraveling, I braided the ends on each strand!
6. When finished, I sprayed Luster's Pink Sheen Spray to give it a little more shine!

How To Correctly Detangle Hair

Here's a video tutorial via Beads, Braids, & Beyond on the safer way to detangle your child's hair. I used to wash it, dry it with a towel, then take a wide tooth comb and try to detangle it but my daughter's hair would come OUT, so I decided to use this method and it definitely works!
