Faux Hawk: The Junior Edition

As you can see, my two-year old son's hair keeps growing and growing. Dealing with this much hair can be nerve wracking at times (for both parent and child), but my husband and I aren't ready to cut it. So, I've therefore decided to expand my hair styling abilities so that we can keep his hair looking fresh without having to bug my mom or pay someone else an arm and a leg to do it. Alas, after a little instruction from my mom and some practice, I have finally learned how to cornrow!

My Little Prince's First Cornrows!

If you saw the Update on My Little Prince's Regimen, then you know that my son's hair has grown quite a bit. I've been wanting to get his hair braided into cornrows for a while now, but was holding off because for one, I can't do cornrows and two, I felt he was too young to sit still while someone else did it. Well apparently, grandma has the magic touch, for not only did she succeed at getting all his hair braided (the first time she tried, she only got one in, which made for an unbalanced mohawk :-)), but he even fell asleep while she was doing it!

Update on My Little Prince's Hair

My little prince is about to turn two. Boy does time fly! He was a little over one when I shared the details of his regimen, and I must say that not much has changed since then. Yet, as you can see, his hair has grown quite a bit...

Tyson

A wonderful subscriber named Danelle submitted her son Tyson for Kidz Corner. Tyson is approximately 20 months old, and is half Black, half Mexican. According to his mom, "A lot of people feel that mixed babies have 'good hair,'" but she feels that dealing with his texture and her own transition from relaxed to natural over the past 18 months has been quite a challenge. Besides, we all know that the controversial term, "good hair," has different connotations to different people, and when it comes down to it, most will find that their own hair is good as long as they're good to it ;-)!

Straightening Virgin Hair

As I mentioned in my March Beauty Haul, my sister promised my niece that she could get her hair straightened for her sixth birthday. I had the honor and privilege of being the one to grant her wish! To see how I styled her hair, step by step, come inside...

Mackenzie

A lovely diva who goes by the name Ms. Harmony submitted her beautiful niece, Mackenzie, for Kidz Corner. Mackenzie was natural all her life up until recently, as her mother decided to give her a relaxer. Having embarked on her own natural journey, Ms. Harmony wasn't having it! With 16 months of transitioning experience under her belt, Ms. Harmony is currently assisting her niece transition back to natural.

Detangling Tight Curls

 

I've been caring for my niece's hair since she was an infant, so I was able to gain experience working with children's hair prior to my son's birth. My niece has a beautiful head full of tight curls, and I've found it quite challenging keeping her hair from getting tangled.
