Twist Hairstyle
Here's a quick update on Bunny's minis/twist hairstyle.
For those of you who missed it, I talking about how I turned her curls into mini two strand twists.
You can check out that post right here.
Anyway, her hair twists have been in for ten days, and they're still going strong!
A little fuzz here and there but nothing serious. Yet. She's pretty hard on her hair so it's only a matter of time before this 'do has to come down!
Now, on to that hairstyle!
Each day I spritz her hair with a mixture of two parts water, one part aloe vera gel, and then a apply a water-based moisturizer on top of that.
Lately I've been using a lot of Mixed Chicks products in her hair, but only time will tell if I stick with those products.
My true love for the longest time has been Queen Helene Royal Curl products so Mixed Chicks has a lot to live up to lol!
I plan on taking her minis down soon so I can do a cute little Easter hairstyle!
Stay turned for that!

Two Strand Twists
For those of you who don’t follow our Natural-hair-care-info.com website, I recently put Bunny’s hair into mini two strand twists!
She has gotten SOOOO complements on them!
They didn’t take that long, they’re aging beautifully, and they really seem to fit her personality!
And for the record, my fingers were tingling for about two days!
Worth it, of course =)
Also, I got quite a few emails (you can contact us on our Facebook Page or through our email address: naturalhaircareinfo at gmail dot com) about the whole process, so I wanna answer those here so everyone who'd like to learn, can learn!
Did you blow dry her hair?
No, I put it into twelve Ghana Plaits three days prior to the actual twisting process began.
Did you straighten it?
Nope, see above.
What products did you use?
Washed: Mixed Chicks Sulfte Free Shampoo
DC'ed: Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner for Hair
Conditioned: Mixed Chicks Leave In Conditioner
Moisturized: Beija Flor Naturals Cream Brulee
Will you trim her twists?
Yes, I trimmed her hair twists the day after I finished. I took about an inch off of the bottom =)
How long will they last?
I will *make* them last at least a month!
How long did they take?
I twisted her hair over the course of three days, devoting two hours a day to her hair for a total of about six hours, give or take.
How long has she been natural?
Since the day she was born =)
Is that all of her hair or did you add yarn/extensions/weave/etc?
Yes! Every single strand is hers!
How will you maintain them?
This is about day 4 and I haven't done much with them. Those Mixed Chicks products are the bomb! Her hair still feels soft and moisturized. I did, however, pull of her twists up into a hair bun for her gym class but that was it!
Each day I took down four braids (one braid at a time, of course) and changed it into several dozen mini twists
The process was very simple! We will definitely be doing these minis in the near future! Also, I will post different hair styles that we do on them as well as updates! Thanks for reading!

Hairstyles for School
More quick and easy hairstyles for school!
I was inspired to do this twist hairstyle after Jessica B. contacted me and told me that she was searching for quick cute school hairstyles for her young daughter.
I usually spend two hours cornrowing Bunny’s hair a week, however, this hairstyle only took an hour plus one break in the middle.
I doubt it will last as long as any of my cornrow hair designs do, but it’s quick and super cute!
Which makes it a great hairstyle for those school days!
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.
A picture from the top
When I say this hair style was super simple, I mean just that.
Using a rat tail comb, I parted out a box in the front and tied the rest of her hair out of the way. Using the box I’d just parted out, I began cornrowing her hair to the side.
Once I ran out of room for the cornrows to stick to her head, I tied it off with a rubber band and two strand twisted her hair to the end. I did this until I was all out of hair to cornrow and I did twists everywhere else.
TIP! You can do box braids or rope twists where I did regular two strand twists if you’d like. It’s completely up you. Just remember that box braids take longer to take out and rope twists tend to lock up if you forget to moisturize them or leave them in too long.
Lastly, a close up of her cornrows!
Each day we’ll change it up a bit with different hair ribbons, hair flowers, or hair bows.
This is an easy hairstyle that’ll last a week.
And don’t be afraid to do “simple styles”. They can be just as cute!
Thanks for reading!

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!
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.

Today is a very big day for my little sister because for the first time ever, she did her own hair! I had to do the twists in the very back, but she definitely did most of the style herself :D
It took her a good three hours to two strand twist the back (I’d done cornrows in the front about two weeks earlier) but she stuck with it the whole time with no complaining!
For twisting the hair you’ll need:
- Denman Brush
- Wide tooth comb
- Hair moisturizer
- Hair clips to section hair
It’s super easy to two strand twist hair. All you have to do is twist one strand around the other one. Once you’ve mastered this hairstyle, you can move onto twist outs, rope twists, and three strand twists!
The coolest part about rope twists is that the twist outs coming out looking like a braid out on locks! It’s pretty cool.
And the coolest thing about three strand twists is that the twist outs come out with a much wider curl pattern than other twist outs.
Man, as I look at these pictures I realize that her hair has really been growing! LOL no wonder it's been taking longer than usual to style it!
Thanks for readin'!
