I am such a novice at this blogging thing that I hope you can forgive my mishaps. I am also learning photo techniques as I go along so please endure with that as well.
Okay, remember when I said I like to keep it simple? Well I wish I can say the same for my daughter. She is growing weary of my simplicity and making declarations of her own sense of style. I have made a lot of mistakes with her hair in the past but I am learning.
I want to share with you all a style that I did on her hair this week. We both loved it and have equally agreed to make it a keeper. It is simple, it is protective and it is versatile. What I love most is that I didn’t have to use any heat and no curlers. I can do this style in the desert J
STEPS
I pre-conditioned her hair before washing with a mixture of Conditioner, Castor oil and Honey. Placed a plastic bag over her hair and left it on for SEVERAL hours.
Next, I detangled her hair before washing by combing through with wide tooth comb.
Then I washed her hair with Castile soup.
I quickly conditioned and washed it out. I sprayed a bit of Jane Carter Leave-In Conditioner.
I oiled her hair with EVOO
Then I parted her hair into 4 sections.
Bantu knots on each sections (this stretches hair without any heat necessary)
When her hair dried, I parted small (not too small) individual triangles, applied Shea Butter and double twisted her entire head.
Finally, I put the pre-twisted 4 sections back into Bantu knots and VIOLA!

Now she can play with her hair all day :-) |
She is happy, I am happy!
