Medium Curly Hair Style

I was asked by J.G. to do a hair style for a medium curly hair length little girl with lots and lots of shrinkage!

This lady – J.G. – asked me to do a natural hair style that showed off some length, could last at least two to three weeks, and that could easily be maintained on a daily basis.

Despite what I originally thought, all that was no problem at all! Here’s the hairstyle that I came up! Enjoy :D

Because this hair style was going to be extremely difficult to explain, I made a how to video for this hair style instead. Hopefully it’ll all make sense! It’s right below this, enjoy!

WAIT! Before you watch this movie, let it be known by all that I never realized that I man handled my little sisters head like that. She's never mentioned it and it never really accurded to me...*ashamed*

For braiding the hair you’ll need:

• Rat tail comb
• Wide tooth comb
• Hair moisturizer
• Hair clips to section hair
• Rubber bands

As always, I started with clean, detangled, stretched hair.

More Pictures :D

I will help Bunny maintain this cornrow design by wrapping her hair at night, moisturizing the ends of the braids every morning, and misting the cornrows with a little curl fresher every other day. And that's it!

I really, REALLY hope you love this style J.G. And don't forget, I have to braid Bunny's hair every week or so anyway, so it might as well be something that you want to see! Click here to request a special hair style!

Rope Twists Out

Just wanted to sneak a post in about how to remove rope twists/sister twists for a down and out hairstyle!

Welcome all new followers and thanks everyone for all the love and support. It's all really humbling and appreciated <3

Halloween Hairstyle

Here is Bunny's Halloween Hairstyle!

Sorry that I haven't been doing as much posting as I used to do. It's getting harder to juggle a website, giveaways, a Facebook page, a YouTube channel, product reviews, reading emails, comments, this blog, and such.

By no means am I complaining (you should see how organized I am now!), I love doing this but just wanted to get that out there because some people have been asking about that.

Enough of that, on to the hair 'do!

The Side

The Back

The Top

The style took me about two and a half hours and I plan on switching it up a bit. After a few days, I will remove the Bantu knots for a braided mohawk look, then (once the hair starts to get tangled up because I know it will) I will do one Dutch with the loose hair, then who knows after that?

For the complete instructions, check out this post on the website: right here.

Thank you for reading and have a beautiful and safe Halloween from Bunny and me!

Down hair styles anyone?

Because natural hair is so big, a great way make it lie down a bit and define your curls is to do a twist out.

One of my favorite things about this hairstyle is that Bunny actually did most of the work! She helped with all the twists that she could reach and she took them out the next for a twist out all by herself!

Pretty cool, huh?

For braiding & twisting the hair you’ll need:

• Rat tail comb
• Wide tooth comb
• Hair moisturizer
• Hair clips to section hair
• Rubber bands

To begin, I made a thin part in the front of her hair, about two and half inches thick. After that, I made simple cornrows going straight back. Once I ran out of room to cornrow, I added a pink rubber band soaked in coconut oil.

If you look at the bottom of her twist out, you can see that some of her ends look like a rope twist out while others look a little frizzy. I'm not too worried about that because I know she'll get better with time!

Look Below to See How We Did Many Different Styles With This One Style:

Yet many people say that natural hair isn't versatile. Strange, huh? Well, I beg to differ. Four styles in one week with the same front cornrows.

Crown Dutch Braid

Hello everyone!

You may remember this hairstyle from this post on my website:

Well, a day of swimming, several bath nights, wrestling with brothers, playing with a puppy and a dog, made the hairstyle look like this:

Not exactly a look we were going for. I took the chubby Dutch braids out, gently detangled with Royal Curl Moisture Rich Conditioner and our Denman, then re-braided it for this look:

Much, much better! Thanks for stoppin' by!

Our Review:

LOVE THIS PRODUCT

It gave Bunny’s tight curls SO much hang! She washed her hair in four braids with the Royal Curl Stay Clean Shampoo then came to me with her hair dripping wet and sparkling clean!

I took one braid out at a time, added this conditioner as a leave-in from root to tips like instructed, then combed her hair through with a wide tooth and our Denman. I put each section into three or four smaller braids before moving on to the next section.

Typically her hair shrinks up to her ears but this stuff made her hair hang several inches past her shoulders which is unheard of! Once the product was applied her hair just seemed to grow. It was really cool.

We both really love this curly hair conditioner and it’s now her staple one. Two checks for both the Royal Curl Shampoo and now their conditioner too! I was also sent the Royal Curl Shaping Crème and Soothing Oil but won’t get to test those out for another week or so because Bunny’s hair is going into cornrows. We just don’t have enough hair time in the mornings for doing hair so braids will help out lots.

Thank you Queen Helene for this great opportunity! Please check out their website here: Queen Helene

Our Review:

Today marks a huge accomplishment over here at my house because for the first time ever, Bunny got to do the product review all by herself for this hair product company! Yahoo!

And now, turning it over to her...

First I was like, this isn’t to work because I used so little and then my hair went all soft. When I got out of the shower and I was combing my hair through it was really easy!

I love Queen Helene!

No more stripped hair!

So there you have it folks! Straight from the nine year olds mouth! Let it be known that I recommend this shampoo over every single one out there and it’s now Bunny’s staple product.

Thank you Queen Helene for reaching out with your amazing product! Everyone seriously needs to head over to the website and get this shampoo. Go here: Queen Helene Royal Curl.
