Day 2 Twist

Greetings! So we went with a cute band to hold the hair out of the face for day two. She doesn't sleep with anything on her head so the twist were not tied down at night. Toddlers should be free right! Love this style on her and she loves her natural hair :)

Two Strand Twist 4a/4b hair

Greetings! Today my mini me and I had a fabulous time installing two strand twist on her hair. She has a 4a/4b hair type. This time around I used Shea Moisture brand curling souffle, but usually I use my DIY flaxseed gel. I have the recipe posted on a previous blog. I start on dry stretched hair and use a water spritz to help handle hair. Easy style and versicle. We experiment with head bands barrettes and clips.  Hope this helps with our toddler naturalistas! Peace :)

Instead of spraying a bunch of chemicals around your house and on your fabrics,  check out this cool and simple DIY.
