This tutorial was requested. We initially did this hairstyle in 2010 HERE! Since the original post only included pictures, and this style is very popular, we decided to do a tutorial of it!

We'd love to see them!

4th of July Hair & Outfit

Brown Girls Hair

Tutorial Posted HERE!

Hi Brown Girls!

I hope you all had an amazing 4th of July! I just want to share with you what my daughter wore for the 4th along with how her hair is braided for the remainder of her summer break!

Yes, I said this is how her hair will be for the remainder of her summer break because she goes back to school on August 1, which I know is super early!

I decided to braid it up because we will be going to the beach soon and I ain't doing no hair! I will record how I maintain her hair after summing etc because I get that question a lot. So stay tuned for the hairstyle tutorial and the summer swim hair maintenance video's coming soon! This hairstyle took me about 5 hours to do.

The outfit is by Apple's Eye Designs and I purchased the shoes from a local Burlington for only $5.99!

Product Review & Giveaway: Lilla Rose ; Sweet Hairlooms

Misty of Lilla Rose sent me some of the most luxurious hair accessories that I have ever seen! They are adorable and that is an understatement!

The Lilla Rose product line centers around unique, functional, and well made hair jewelry. The jewelry line includes flexi hair clips, hair sticks, orings, hairbands, and bobby pins. They also have eyeglass holders, badge holders, necklaces, and earrings!

We've had the pleasure of trying The Flexi Hair Clip & The Headband.

The Flexi Hair Clip comes in seven sizes to accommodate different hair types and styles. Depending on the amount and type of hair, you might use a small for a ponytail, but a large for a french twist!

The flexi hair clips are very easy to use. You simply open the clip, gather the hair, then slide the hair between the opened clip, and close the clip. See the video below for demonstration.

These clips are perfect for all occasions; church, weddings, and even everyday wear! You can use them as ponytail holders, or as hair jewelry to add flare to your hairstyle!

These are great for little Girls, Tweens, Teens, Moms, Grandma's etc. You get the point!

We were given 4 out of the 7 sizes to try! Check out the video below to see how they look in my hair!


The Headband

This is our favorite because not only can it be worn around the head to hold the hair down, it can also be worn across the forehead for ultimate fashion style!

It is made with the cutest beads and has an adjustable strap to fit heads of all sizes! It comes in several different colors!

Misty is offering you a Buy 3 get 1 Free offer for the duration of the giveaway (May 1-7, 2014) plus 3 days after the giveaway ends. (May 1-May 10, 2014)  You can make your order at her site link below and then e-mail her the item number of the free item of your choice (up to $16 retail value)!

Curlformers Review + Giveaway

Giveaway December 19, 2013-January 3, 2014

I think we all know what curlformers are unless you have been living under a rock. Curlformers are a styling tool that offers an easy and fun way to create gorgeous curls without damaging the hair because heat is not required other than to dry the hair if you choose. Curlformers came about in 2008 when Hair Flair Ltd. in conjunction with Sally Beauty Supply launched this cool hair styling accessory.

The video below demonstrates how to use the curlformers and softhood as well as shows the results of my daughter and I using the curlformers on our natural hair.

Tips for using curlformers:

1. For natural girls, after you wash/condition etc. use Lotta Body Setting lotion mixed with water. The amount of water depends on how hard you want your curls to be. The more water you use, the softer the curls will be. This will help your curls hold and last longer OR use As I Am Twist Defining Cream. It produces awesome results. You can see me use it on my daughters hair here.

2. Load both of the rods first, then do 2 at a time. It will make the process go much faster.

3. If your curlformer doesn't curl properly, Don't take the hair out to start over. Run your thumb down the middle of it and release it. It will curl perfectly into place. You can watch our quick how to video here.

4. Keep a spray bottle handy. Curlformers apply smoothly to damp hair.

5. I found that with our thick natural hair, the softhood took a very long time to dry the hair. I suggest the softhood for fine/thin hair.
