Bun Mohawk

This bun Mohawk is one of my favorite African American kids hairstyles yet! It all happened because Bunny’s freshly washed, conditioned, detangled, and stretched hair was starting to tangle up really badly and I really needed to tie it down somehow or another.

You make this into a ten minute hairstyle even, if you left out the cornrows in the front and did more buns instead, it’s all up to you!

For braiding the hair you’ll need:

• Rat tail comb
• Wide tooth comb
• Hair moisturizer
• Hair clips to section hair
• Ponytail Holders
• Bobby Pins

To begin, I parted out a rectangle shape for the side cornrows. I did three cornrows in all and used fifteen beads, four on the first braid, five on the second, and six on the very last one.

Before I smoothed her edges down or pinned her hair under

After that I pulled the rest of her hair pack into three ponytails stacked on top of each other. I used a little moisturizer and my Denman brush to smooth back her edges.

When smoothing down edges remember to be as gentle as possible so you don't cause breakage!

The back of her 'do

I finished this hairstyle by taking a section of hair, rolling it up, and pinning it down with a booby pin on each side. Easy!

Overall she really loves her hairstyle and people kept complimenting her 'do! This may just be our new fallback hairstyle, who knows?

How to detangle dry hair

Quick post on how to detangle dry hair! I know I haven't been posting that much and that's due to school in such. More stuff coming in the near future I hope. A couple people were asking for more videos and Bunny really wanted to do another so here ya go, enjoy!

Best products for curly hair

Those of you who are looking for the best products for curly hair, I hate to break it to you but there is one product that you’re searching for, and it’s this Shea Butter Sculpting Wax from Beautiful Curls! I’ll admit that I was skeptical about putting wax in anyone’s hair, but this stuff really and truly is the bomb!

Product Description:
Certified Fair Trade Shea Butter sculpting wax for curl separation, shine and texture. With virgin coconut oil for added shine. Great for waves, finger curls and flicks.

What It Is:
A shea butter wax

Who It's For:
People searching for the best products for curly hair

What It Smells Like:
Quite strong and really not that pleasant

My sisters texture after using this product

How To Use It:
I simply scooped a little but out of the tub with my fingers, rubbed it between my fingers to soften (like Billy Mays did on the Mighty Putty commercials), and applied it to my little sisters clean, conditioned, dry hair and it worked like a charm! It moisturized and it stretched her curly pattern out quite a bit!

Full Ingredients:
Certified Fair Trade Shea Butter (Butyrospermum parkii), Virgin Coconut Oil (Cocos nucifera), Kpangnan Butter (Pentaderma butyracea), Sesame Oil (Sesamum indicum), Carnauba Wax (Copernicia prunifera), Coconut Oil (and) Raspberry Fruit Extract (and) Ylang Ylang Flower Extract

Color:

Medium beige

Texture/Consistency:

Thick, but nothing like hair grease or gel

Cost:

$10 for two ounces, which is pretty pricy, but a little goes a long way

Our Review:

I gotta hand it to the company, they really outdid themselves with this hair wax. It moisturizes, smoothed down Bunny’s hair, and helped detangled as well. The only downside to the product is the price, but it can easily replace your leave-in and your detangling sprays/creams! Thanks Beautiful Curls for making another great product!

-Disclosure: These products were sent to me free of charge from the company for the purpose of this review, the opinion of the product is my own.

Braid Out

I finally washed, conditioned, and detangled Bunny's hair last night! YAY! Her hair feels SOO much better now that the tangles are out and water's been added to it!

Here's what I did:

Removed all beads and rubber bands from her hair and put it into six loose braids, making sure that there was enough room at the roots for her slide her fingers under them so she could scrub her scalp.

After that, she co-washed her hair all by herself with VO5 conditioner.

Lastly, I begin styling, taking one braid out a time, detangling it, then changing each chubby braid into two or three smaller braids. Starting at her roots, I added Beautiful Curls Shea Butter Curl Activating Cream for a leave-in.

What I used

Overall, I am very displeased with how her hair turned out. The problem was that her braids did not dry over night and her hair was still quite damp when we had to leave the house. Bunny really wanted to take the braids out so I did but I wish I'd waited until they'd dried.

The braid out is pretty fuzzy so I had to smooth the top half back with my hands and use bobby pins to clip it back, then added a flower. Her hair smells good and is detangled still. I will probably detangle it again later tonight and put it into cornrows.
