Simple Cornrows using Blended Beauty Products

Two weekends ago, I washed and styled my 2 year old God-Daughter's hair.  I didn't have much time plus I had my 2 year old and my other God-Daughter who is 1.  Her mom wanted something that would last for the week, so I thought cornrows would probably be the best option.  I am not much of a "corn-rower" at all and usually avoid doing it at all cost but I think I did a pretty good job, probably the BEST so far!  I had another opportunity to use Blended Beauty Products and must say I was even more amazed this go' round.

Twists & PonyTails (Blended Beauty Products)



This is a quick hair style I did on my niece this past weekend.  Let me start by saying, her hair is very different from my daughters' hair, it is long and fine with very loose curls (tangles very easily).  I don't consider myself to be equipped with the "necessary"products for her hair type but when I typically do her hair, I do what I can with what I have.  So this time, I had the pleasure of trying some new products from Blended Beauty children's line called Blended Cutie (Thanks KandyLand Kurls & Stacey).  You can find these products at www.blendedbeauty.com.  I really enjoyed using these products!  Stay tuned for a detailed product review of each product.

Products Used (Blended Beauty)
BC SilkShake (A natural detangling lotion spray)
BC Jelly Cream (A soft hold moisturizing gel lotion)
BC Down & Out Styles (A styling cream and moisturizer)

Before and After Washing 
All detangled. It was a breeze after using the SilkShake  (Look at that sheen, my daughter even said , "its so shiny")

Deep Conditioning Locs w/ Homemade Deep Conditioner


I love, love, love this deep conditioner.  It leaves the hair so soft and super moisturized.  Not to mention it has to be one of the easiest recipes I've ever done!  Deep Conditioning has always been apart of BG "S" hair regimen but not since loc'ing.  As many of you know or don't know, one of my favorite store bought deep conditioners is the Shea Moisture Organic Yucca & Baobab Anti-Breakage Masque.  I am a little nervous to use this product due to the possibility of buildup in the locs since its so thick and creamy.   So for now this homemade deep conditioner will be our new deep conditioner. After all her locs is still HAIR and her hair LOVES some coconut oil :)

Deep conditioning the hair have MANY benefits. Check out the benefits of deep conditioning your hair HERE.
