Throwback Hairstyle!

Judging by the polls, you guys want to see more braid designed hairstyles. I just wanted to share with you the very first hairstyle I did when I took an interest in my child's hair. It's a braid, beads, and ponytail and three strand twist design but I just wanna to show you guys the back of it because I really don't care too much for the front! Hope you guys like it!!

Assortment of Pink Beads on Two Strand Twists

I'm not going to go into detail on how I acheive this look because it's pretty basic (and frankly, I don't have the time right now). I simply, parted it from ear to ear, put the back section in individual two strand twists and put three beads on the end and put the top section in two pony tails and put individual two strand twists with three beads on the end! This hairstyle took about an hour and a  half to do.

The rest of the pictures for today you can find on FACEBOOK! Add us here! If you've noticed, I've been doing a lot of ponytail hairstyling lately. That's because I'm getting a lot of 'new moms' visitors and not everyone knows how to braid good or what have you, so I'm supplying them with easy to do hairstyles this month. Plus, Princess said she's getting tired of braids, lol. Sighs.

Client #23925 (JK!) Braid Designs With Beads

Everyone meet 'Miss D.'! I braided her hair into an intricate design. I won't be able to show you guys how I did it, because I do not do that with clients. (Time management.) Her and her mom was very pleased with the outcome though.

TUTORIALS: Applying Beads To Loose Braids

Someone asked me how to apply beads to braids and I searched on Youtube before I made this video, but didn't really see any, so I made one. Hopefully this helps!

Beads, Braids, & Bun 2

This is my daughter's newest hairstyle! Beads, braids, and a bun!!!. I did an almost similar hairstyle before (click here), but this time I decided to do things a little differently and have her whole head braided. This hairstyle took a whopping total of 5 1/2 hours to do! Don't forget, we do have to consider the length of her hair. We went to the hairstore earlier yesterday and she picked out these different shades of purple beads! One thousands beads for $3.49! Not bad, right?

I used water, BB Oil Moisturizer (for shine), Kids Organic Gro Strong Triple Action Stimulating Therapy (to reduce frizziness), Herbal Essences Hello Hydration conditioner (for softness), and Soft & Beautiful Just For Me! 2-in-1 Conditioning Detangler (to help detangle, of course). As always, I pour BB Oil Moisturizer and HEHH Conditioner on a napkin and mix it together.

STEP ONE: I parted the back from ear to ear. I detangled it and combed through it! Don't mind that spare braid, I had another hairstyle in mind before I got to the end results.

STEP TWO: I parted three rows and individually braided her hair in strands. I then applied the multicolored purple beads, putting 15 on each braid strand. The end result of that looked like this!

STEP THREE: I made a small part at the top of her head and a short part at the back of her head so I can have a start and stopping point. This was my first time doing this, so I wasn't really sure how people braid in a ponytail. For extra measure, I braided a strand down and put beads on end. I call it My Alicia Keys Braid. LOL.

STEP FOUR: I braided the other side from the part at the top to the part to the back around her head. After I was done braiding, I took an ouchless band and wrapped her hair in a ponytail so I could apply the bun.

STEP FIVE: Applying the bun. I pulled her hair through the hole of the sock bun and evenly spread her hair out over the sock. Next, I wrapped the hair under the sock bun in a circle, twisted the loose end, and continued to wrap it in a circular motion and then secured it with a bobby pin and another ouchless band. THE END!!

Even though it was almost 1130pm when I got finished with Princess's hair, she still looked like she was ready to step out into the night and shut everything down!!

Beads Braids & Buns

I did my daughter's hair in this style about three weeks ago. Beads, braids, and a bun! I'm not gonna get into specifics about how I did it, but I put a braid in the front and a bun at the top. I put 20 beads on each braids.

In the back, I made two separate rows and individually put the ponytails in rubberbands then braided two braids per ponytail. At the top of the rows, I braided two braids, one going in each direction and put beads on the end of them. And to top it off, I put a nice flower bow around the bun. That's basically it! I used Just For Me! Soft & Beautiful 2-N-1 Conditioning Detangler and B&B Pink Oil Moisturizer.
