Let's Support Jenell & The Babies *March of Dimes*

Jenell Stewart of Kinky Curly Coily Me

Hi Brown Girls,

This post is a call to action for all of you Mom's, who some I know, will be able to relate to this cause. Jenell Stewart of Kinky Curly Coily Me sent me a heart felt e-mail about how both of her pregnancies were "high risk" and how she had to go on bed rest immediately halfway through her last pregnancy and through most of her first pregnancy.

Thankfully both of her babies were born healthy, but that's not the case for all mothers. Everyday thousands of babies are born too soon, too small, and often very sick. Jenell is walking in March for babies because she wants to do something about this. She needs our help!

I am thankful that all of my children were born healthy and I want to do what I can to help. I decided to give a donation to help Jenell reach her goal of $5,000. I also decided to post this with the hope that you can and will help too!

No donation is too small. If you can't give but you have a social media following, please share this with your followers to help spread the word to help Jenell exceed her goal and most importantly help the BABIES.

You can give HERE! 

Aren't her little ones Gorgeous!!

Natural Hair Bun & Bow Updo Tutorial

Brown Girls Hair

This hairstyle was inspired by a picture I saw on Pintrest below. You can go to the website of the original tutorial HERE. I left out the plait that goes around the bun because I like the style without it.

SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR THIS HAIRSTYLE:

Ponytail Holder
Sock Bun/Hair Donut
Bobby Pins

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Put hair in a high ponytail.

2. Put hair into bun leaving the excess hair hanging in the front, back, or on the side based on where you want the bow to be. If your child has short hair, use a small bun. She can rock this too!

3. Separate the hanging hair into 3 sections. The 2 sections on the sides should be thick and equal in size. The section in the middle should be smaller than the 2 sections.

4. Using your fingers as rollers, roll the left section of hair around your fingers forming the left side of the bow. Pin it into place with your bobby pins.

5. Do the same thing with the right section that you did above with the left section.

6. 3 strand plait the middle section then roll it around itself to look like a flower in the middle.

7. Add hair accessory to the middle of the flower and/or around the bun, if desired.

ALL DONE!

This style is perfect for a flower girl or any special occasion.

Getting Box Braids on Natural Girl {The Process}

Brown Girls Hair

A few quick tips to remember:

*Prepare your child mentally for the process. I gave my daughter a weeks notice so that she could be mentally ready.
*Start with a clean head of hair
*Have plenty of snacks on hand

*Have all of your child's favorite movies available

*Make sure you have a comfortable seat and seating area

* You may have to break the style up into a 2 or 3 day event if you are doing it yourself. Be flexible.

What things do you do to make a long hairstyle day go smoothly?

Her Body is Changing and So is Her Hair.......

Brown Girls Hair

My daughter will be 9 next month and her body has changed a lot over the past year. Not only did I have to start buying her training bra's (Lord help us), she has grown from a size 8 to a size 14 in 9 months. With the fast changes of her body, her hair has changed too.

I'm back to the stage of figuring out her hair again. It constantly stays dry....no matter what I do. I moisturize, I seal, I co-wash.....what the heck is going on??? Her hair growth has slowed down too. Now I'm back to the drawing board of trying to figure out what's going to work for this new stage that her hair is in.

I'm an totally up for suggestions and ideas especially if you have or have had a daughter to go through a similar phase.

Back to the drawing board...........I need help!!
