Getting Better and Faster at Cornrowing

This style only took me one and a half hours instead of, like, three!  It's 8 cornrows from an off-center point at her hairline in front to a ponytail in the back.  I didn't braid the hair at the nape of her neck, instead just pulled it up into the ponytail.  That saved me from having to cornrow upside down.  Hate that.  I divided the ponytail and created two braids.  But after a couple of days I redid that and made a six-braid ponytail that the girl enjoys flinging around as she shakes her head.  This style looks great and is lasting about a week.  I should re-braid tomorrow, but we'll see what I have time for.

Unexpected Hair Style



This hair style happened after I spritzed the girl's hair with water and conditioner and took out her cornrows from last week's style.  We were headed up to the bath to wash it, but it looked cute, long and thick and I had to get a few pics.  I love that her hair is long enough to put into low ponytails like this, and can't wait until she's old enough to wear it this way.

I ended up putting in cornrows after we washed her hair.  That's the next post.

Cornrows and Ponytails

I love this and it's lasting all week!  Hair parted in the middle from forehead to nape.  Front hairline separated out and cornrowed down to backs of ears.  The rest of each side parted into 5 sections and cornrowed toward the center where hair is banded and braided into two hanging ponytails on each side.  





Saturday we go to the first meeting of a group for people with textured hair.  Looking forward to swapping some products and hearing about others' regimes.

Ciao!
