If you are from my generation (hush I'm not old! lol) then you seen a episode of Sister Sister. Go home Roger!!! (sorry I had to do that.) Before they grew up and changed their hair, they were curly twins! and I loved it!

I couldn't find a good picture of their curly hair without hats :( But you got the idea lol.

Protective Style Challenge: Update (Week 4-5)

2012-02-22T00:05:00.000-05:00

We are half way done with the Protective Style Challenge!! Can you believe that? N had her hair in this style (click to see.) During the week we spiced up that same hairstyle, and added some flair. She rocked a twisted updo, and little buns, along with one long braid (which is not pictured.)

-Ignore the frizzies-

The women in the challenge are doing such amazing styles! And are helping each other with tips, styles, and much more. It feels like a mini facebook family lol.

We also shared photos of our children's length check. I never measured N's hair before, so it was pretty cool to see how long it is. I plan on measuring again when the challenge is over, to see if we have any growth.

-sorry it's blurry, but I copied the rulers number in white font.-

-It's pretty difficult to take a pic and hold the ruler & hair haha-

Shrinkage is CRAZY! I never would of thought that her hair was almost 19 inches when stretched.

Have you ever measured your child's hair? Where you shocked by the results?

Hated Her Curls

2012-02-20T00:02:00.007-05:00

If you read my first Blended Beauty Guest Post, or if you are on NC you might have heard our story. Recently I shared this with our friends on Facebook. Well, its time to vent, and share the reason behind this blog.

When N just turned 5, she hated her hair and curls being free. She has once compared her hair to someone else, and mentioned she wants it to be like her friend in school. I never really pushed the "love your hair" thing on her, because I figured she was fine. But the reason why I even started my blog was when I found out that she wasn't fine. I would make her have a "no-tension" day aka "momma don't feel like doing it day lol," and I would leave her hair free. She would always complain and fuss for us (Mom+Dad) to put it in a bow, and I would ignore her request. Well this particular time, after complaining. She went to her room and was very quiet. So I went in there to check on her, and put away her clean clothes, and I saw 1 small (I guess around the size of a nickel ball) of hair on the floor. At first, I didn't think anything of it, I figured she missed her trash can after I detangled. Then a few steps away was another one, I was like wtheck! After I interrogated her, she busted out crying, and admitted that she snapped a few pieces of hair out.

After that I went to a forum and shared what happened, and followed the advice. I began researching and trying to learn about hair. I also thought it would be a good idea to take pics of styles and make a blog, so that she can see herself on the screen and I can read to her the readers reactions. Let me tell you it WORKED! She is much more happier with her hair, but she still prefers it up and styled. I made a blog post about this incident a year ago and never published it. She is embarrassed, and for a long time so was I, along with pissed off. I never thought MY CHILD would feel that way. I always told her that she is smart & beautiful, I guess it went through one ear and out the other. Earlier this month I shared this with Stacey from Blended Beauty. So after some encouragement from my facebook friends. I figured "it's time now" especially after I seen that N is not alone, and many folks went through something similar. So I'm finally publishing this post that has been sitting here in our edit section, next will be the post about N's white hair, which she is also embarrassed about. But hey I doubt she is alone on that too.

Does your child ever experience low self esteem or issues regarding their hair?

Product Review: Twirlyz

2012-02-18T00:05:00.004-05:00

Recently we were given the opportunity to review Twirlyz Hair Accessories!

Twirlyz are an amazing new hair accessory! Inspired by the hair stylings of the Caribbean Islands, they are great for showing school and team pride, or just for expressing your love for style! Easy to use, available in every color of the rainbow! With Twirlyz you can wrap your hair in seconds, no matter what your hair type!

Review: I LOVE IT!!! These hair accessories are adorable, and it was a BIG hit at N's school. As soon as she went in, her teacher, and her classmates, complimented her hair. They were amazed and wanted to know how do you get it in her hair lol.N is a pretty aggressive player in recess/gym so she said it later fell out, but she twisted back in her hair all by herself, it's very simple. To apply: Just simply (twirl) the hair around it, voila!

-Sorry for the blurry pic-

It's pretty cool how you can change the little charms on the end of the twirlyz to personalize them.

She wore the rainbow long twirlyz in her hair all week, but on Friday I told her to give it a break. I didn't want her to be distracted in school by having to keep putting it in. This child threw a hissy fit! Tears and all, because she wanted to wear it. After talking with her once she was calm, I found out that she likes the attention it brings lol. I guess it makes her cool smh. She also wants more and in different colors, I believe Twirlyz created an monster lol aka big fan. So I promised her that if she gets honors again for this semester, I will buy her more twirlyz. There's nothing more I can say...it's a hit folks!

Protective Style Challenge: Mohawk

2012-02-14T00:16:00.000-05:00

After being inspired by the 66 very TALENTED ladies in our protective style group. Yes, they all can hook up some hair lol. I just had to do the mohawk again! I really like how this came out.

The design was a freestyle. I guess a swirl/heart thing? Idk..lol

To recreate this style we pretty much did the same steps in this older post (click here for step by step instructions.)

Products Used:

Eco Styler Gel

Cara B Naturally Spray

Total Time: 2 hours 20 mins

Protective Style Challenge: (week 3)

2012-02-12T00:27:00.000-05:00

We took down N's first mini twists. I must admit I'm glad we tried that style. It lasted a lot longer than box braids. It could of lasted longer, but the frizzies were driving me insane. I have to work on a better method to maintain them. For the take down process, I started in the middle of her hair, and un-twisted them.

This is the perfect area to start taking down a style like this. If you need to go out, you can quickly cover the middle section with the hair from the front, sides, and back, and put it into a bun.

As show below.

The take down wasn't bad, and she didn't have many knots, it was pretty easy to unravel the knots. I added a little oil to my fingers, to help glide my fingers down the twists. All together it took around a hour and a half to get all the twists down. Next we washed her hair, deep conditioned it, moisturized, and sealed. I left her hair in 6 braids overnight to air dry. The following afternoon I stretched her hair by banding it. (Which means sectioning the hair and adding hairbands down the entire section.) This helped to make her hair semi-straight, for our next protective style.

Products Used:

Darcy Botanical Coconut &Hibiscus Oil (seal & detangle)

Blended Beauty Herbal Reconditioner (for D.C)

Suave Naturals Almond & Shea Butter (shampoo)

Cara B Naturally Leave In (for moisturizer)

Winning The Hair Battle!

2012-02-06T01:09:00.001-05:00

After talking with many Mom's, especially the Mom's with small children. I often hear about the battle, you know, the HAIR BATTLE. Between your busy, impatient toddler and hair time. I honestly didn't have a struggle with N's hair when she was smaller. But I did battle with my son. I put together 7 tips to help you win!

1.) Start the daily hair care while they are young. This is very important! Just like brushing teeth, or getting dressed, hair maintenance should be just as important. This is mandatory, not optional. If you do this everyday, they will gradually get used to hair time and expect it.

2.) Treats!! Now this doesn't mean "junk food" but give your child some type of treat during hair time. Whether it's fruit, popsicles, or cereal. Keeping their mouths full, will help stop them from yelling. (It's kind of hard to do both at the same time lol.)

3.) Nap time! If your child sleeps hard like a rock, this is the perfect time to grab a comb and begin a style. But I must warn you, it takes a bit of skill to be able to part the hair, and have a good enough angle to see what you are doing.

4.) Tv time! In our house, tv time is a privilege. Homework & chores must be complete in order to watch tv. So when I pop in a movie, or turn to cartoons, this is a good time to grab a comb and start styling. They are so happy that the tv is on, they won't care that your styling their hair. If your child fusses, the tv comes off! This will help them to understand that, you can have what you want (tv) if I get what I want (hair time.) Also when I braid N's hair (which sometimes takes approx 1-2 hours) Tv makes the perfect distraction. The movie is over and so is Mommy.

5.) Watch other kids during hair time. Monkey see, monkey do. I'm not calling your kid a monkey lol. But sometimes, if kids see others being "brave" or a "big girl." It influences them to want to be good, like the other child. Search and find some Youtube videos of kids getting their hair done. Make sure to point out how still and well-behaved they are being, when they are getting their hair done. This may help your child learn how to copy and behave.

6.) Giving them a job. Sometimes doing things as a team, motivates them to participate during hair time. Kids always want to feel apart of something. So if it's sorting the hair bows, or holding the brush or etc, this will show them that they are apart of the hair process. Makes them feel important, and they will like this feeling.

7.) Frequent breaks. Make sure to take plenty of breaks while styling their hair. Don't expect them to sit still for 30 minutes straight while you detangle. Work quickly, and take time to read or color, this will make them happy and give your fingers a break.

What other tips work for your kids?

SpotLight: Erica & Cynshei

2012-02-04T00:55:00.002-05:00

Here are 7 pictures of my little sister Erica, age 5 when I did these styles. I just wanted to get my work out there for some feedback. My name is Cynshei (sin-shay) I'm currently 18 yrs old. I was 17 when these styles were done. I love to do hair. I do a lot of hair, teenagers, and adults, but I prefer to do children's hair. Doing hair is my hobby. I also do my own hair.

1.The first hairstyle with the multicolored barrettes is a double twist slanted Mohawk.

2.The second with the big knockers and barrettes is 3 braided ponytails with a bang.

3.The third with the yellow & white beads & barrettes is a crown filled w| barrettes & 2 rows of cornrows in the back.

4.This is the back of hairstyle #3

5.The fifth hairstyle is a sock bun Mohawk with 2 sock buns in the back and a big slanted sock bun in the front.

6.The last hairstyle is the double twist again. The front is going up into a bun with lots of knockers and barrettes. The back is diamond shaped double twist w| barrettes at the end.

7.The sixth hairstyle is cornrows in the front w/singles / box braids in the back. There was about 25 beads on each braid! Talk about time consuming!

Cynshei, you are doing a wonderful job! I can totally see you being a professional! Erica is toooo cute and her hair is Super-Fly, thanks to her big sister! Keep up the great job!

Organix Vanilla Silk Conditioner: Product Review

2012-01-28T00:04:00.002-05:00

Beauty pure and simple. Soft & silky. Indulge your senses with this exclusive blend of smoothing Tahitian vanilla bean oils to instantly nourish and moisturize, while silk amino proteins strengthen and seal your hair's cuticles, revitalizing your hair, creating silky, smooth shiny hair. Sulfate free. Organic vanilla bean oils.

Ingredients: Dl Water (Aqua), Cetyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Glucoside, Glyceryl Stearate, Glycerin, Cyclomethicone, Dimethicone, Jojoba Oil, Panthenol, Silk Amino Complex, Organic Vanilla Bean Oil, Shea Butter, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Tetrasodium EDTA, Fragrance, DMDM Hydantoin, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone.

Review: I will start with the pros. It smells amazing! If I could eat it, I would. The price is Wonderful!! (easy on the pockets) and it makes a wonderful refresher in my spray bottle. Now the cons (dun-dun-dun.) I really dislike how they name their products "organix" when it's not "organic" and some of their ingredients, from their multiple products, contain not so good stuff for curlies. Even this has some "caution" ingredients, so please read the back of the bottles. I must also add that, I wouldn't detangle with it. I like to detangle with conditioner, but this soaks right into N's hair, and is not slippery enough to comb though. Overall it's decent, ONLY because of how I am using it. For simple a refresher, or quick rinse out conditioner, this is a good product to use. Nothing more, nothing less.

fyi: I prefer their coconut milk conditioner over this one.

If you are interested in trying products from the Organix brand. CVS is currently having a B.O.G.O (buy1get1) sale on this product line.

Have you tried a product from Organix? What are your thoughts on it?

Protective Style Challenge: Mini Twists (weeks 1-3)

2012-01-26T00:07:00.001-05:00

For our Protective Style Challenge we decided to do ....mini twists!
Yes, mini twists! If you ask some of my facebook friends, they will tell you how much
I dreaded doing this style. It's a beautiful style, but I did not want to sit for hours, and hours, and I didn't even want to think about the take down process. Well, I caved in, and surprisingly it wasn't too bad after all!

(fyi: the last photo is from week 2)
Here are some close up pictures.

This style took 3-4 hours we only had a few breaks. I started her hair in the back, I didn't part it, just sectioned it with my fingers. I washed her hair 2 days before styling and banded it. I used Eco Styler Gel mixed with Bee Mine Curly Butter for hold. For some reason I really like mixing the two products. The Eco Styler alone sometimes leaves a white flaky residue but has a really good hold.

But on the down side, the two products combined makes N's hair wet, and then once the twists dries it creates this ~~kinda-cute-weird-crinkly-thingy~~ <--ignore all of that...But it did create this curly look. Overall N said "Mommy, this is my favorite hairstyle!" Yes, her favorite, so you guessed it, we will be seeing more of this style lol.

Here is a tutorial video on how to do Mini Twists, I pretty much followed her directions.

Have you ever tried mini twists? If so, how was your experience?

Cara B Naturally Product Review

Mineral oil-free

No artificial colors or fragrances

This is my daughter N's debut at being a Youtube Vlogger. She is a pretty shy kid (until you get to know her.) So she has really stepped out of her shell. She really likes Cara B and wanted to do her own review. Click below to see N in action!

Now here is Mommies review lol

Shampoo:

Ingredients: Deionized water; natural coconut oil, cornstarch and sugar soap blend (decyl glucoside); natural chamomile fragrance blend; vegetable glycerin; sugar (glucose); vitamin E; aloe vera barbadensis leaf juice; citric acid; guar gum (natural thickener); car amel; glucose oxidase & lactoperoxidase (natural preservative)

Review: I love the scent it's like a vanilla-sweet scent, which is a big plus! It's very light, and tear-free which is another plus! And we used 2 quarter sized amounts, not too bad, third plus lol! I give this shampoo 3 out of 3 stars lol, perfect, gentle and not stripping, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Body Lotion:

Ingredients: Deionized water; coconut oil (capric triglyceride); shea butter; sunflower seed oil; cocoa butter (stearic acid); jojoba oil; natural emulsifying wax (cetearyl alcohol); natural emulsifier (glyceryl stearate); sugar (glucose); natural chamomile fragrance blend; xanthan gum (natural thickener); aloe vera barbadensis leaf juice; vitamin E; caramel; potassium sorbate; glucose oxidase & lactoperoxidase (natural preservative)

Review: Like N said in the video, she uses it daily and I would recommend this for those who may have sensitive skin. The lotion is very light and gentle, and with this cold drying weather, N's skin has a nice shimmer. N likes to lick her lips, which causes a thin dry ring around her mouth. I rubbed this on her face for 2 days, and it was gone!

Hair Mist:

Ingredients: Deionized water; vegetable glycerin; coconut oil (capric triglyceride); sweet almond oil; jojoba oil; sugar (glucose); natural chamomile fragrance blend; aloe vera barbadensis leaf juice; vitamin E; potassium sorbate; glucose oxidase & lactoperoxidase (natural preservative); citric acid

Review: This is the perfect spray for styles like braids, twists, or something that you want to keep moisturized, without messing up the style. It leaves a nice shine, that soaks into your hair. And hours later it does not feel sticky. It's very light, so I will just use it only as a refresher.

Leave-In Conditioner:

Ingredients: Deionized water; natural emulsifying wax (cetearyl alcohol); shea butter; jojoba oil; coconut oil (capric triglyceride); vegetable glycerin; natural emulsifier (cetearyl alcohol and cetearyl glucoside); natural chamomile fragrance blend; cocoa butter (stearic acid); sugar (glucose); xanthan gum (natural thickener); natural emulsifier (glyceryl stearate); aloe barbadensis leaf juice; vitamin E; caramel; potassium sorbate; glucose oxidase & lactoperoxidase (natural preservative)

Review: I used this as a daily moisturizer, I would go through this bottle too quickly, if I used it as a conditioner. So I have been moisturizing N's twists (style coming soon) daily, and it's absolutely wonderful. Silly N got the lotion, and this bottle, mixed up, and put the leave-in conditioner all over her body :/ Now my first thought was "uh-oh, she is going to break out or become itchy" ......But nope, her skin smelled and felt good, and she had zero complaints. Again, it's very light, so if you don't like thick or oily creams, then this is right up your alley.

Overall: I really like their products, it has such a nice light scent perfect for little babies, and it's a much safer and healthier product than Johnson & Johnson. I wish I knew about their product line when my kids were smaller. I highly recommend this to all of the small babies/kids out there. The best part, is that it will be sold in Target & CVS (in February)!! Yes, convenient for all! You can also order their products here https://www.mycarab.com.

Cornbraid Ponytail

2012-01-22T02:04:00.000-05:00

After winter break, I decided that N and I, needed a nice break. I create this braided ponytail and each school day, I switched up the style to give it more than one look.

On Monday I wrapped the hair into a bun.

On Tuesday I left the braids free in the ponytail.

On Wednesday, I wrapped the hair around to create the "I Dream Of Jeannie" look.

On Thursday, I kept Wednesday's look and added a two strand twist.

On Friday, I made a regular braid.

So that's a total of 5 different hairstyles from the braided ponytail, now who says braids are versatile?? LOL

Approx Time: 1 hour

Quick Cornbraid Style

2012-01-16T00:08:00.000-05:00

I had exactly one hour until N's bedtime, so I quickly did this cornbraid style. It took exactly one hour and 14 mins, so she wasnt too late for bed. I did the front section of hair in side braids. Next, I did the back of her hair in two (2) rows of cornbraids. I added the beads in the morning.

The bottom layer of cornbraids is longer than the middle section.

Cute & Simple!

Note: We are getting ready for our protective style challenge, so this style is a great style idea for those participating.

SpotLight- Naomi

2012-01-14T20:44:00.003-05:00

Naomi O. Osibajo is an amazing young entertainer born to the world on April 29th, 2008. Naomi was born to a Nigerian father and a Russian/Japanese mother. Naomi loves to model and act. She loves the whole idea of entertaining people and making them feel better. Naomi has been modeling since she was very young and she is currently joining the acting business. Naomi has done many things in the modeling business;she has been on magazines, newspapers, websites, and blogs.Naomi isn't just a model, but she has a beautiful personality and it makes the people around her feel happy. She is compassionate and kind, also she is very well behaved for someone her age which helps her during casting calls. Naomi is a very remarkable young girl and she will transform into a very prosperous woman.

Naomi has very nice curly hair, some may say curly and some fluffy. Naomi hair is what describes her and along with her eyes and smile it captures people's attention. Naomi's hair is very soft and we try to recreate numerous styles. This is very difficult because we don't want to hurt her while we do it. We cover these flaws by doing a lot of hairstyles that require big puffs and Afros. Naomi also uses hair product like mixed chics, curlfomers, and others. Naomi loves her hair and everyone loves it too, but the best part about it is the volume in her hair. We like to braid her hair a night before so that in the morning we could just take out the braids and instant curls.
