Criss Cross Cornrows Headband

Criss Cross Cornrows Headband

Ok, yesterday was Chelina's Hip Hop Awards Night and I decided to do a hairstyle I started a couple weeks ago ( stopped cause it was getting to late for a style that takes this long ). The first pictures are from the first time I did it the finished pics are from yesterday. Now, I have to tell you-my cornrows are usually a lot tighter and neater but I had a short amount of time before we had to leave. I really like the style though and she got a lot of compliments.

The Do

Can't see it as much in the pic above but keep going :)

First, separate hair from the back of her ear to the back of the ear on the other side (like a half pony). Put the rest in a smooth pony so it doesn't get mixed in with the part your braiding. Now separate the hair into 5 sections. Start on the bottom right side section and then separate that into 2 strips. Do cornrows (Dutch Braids) on the first strip and continue the braid up a little past the part that is snug to the head, clip it off and do the other strip the same way and then cross them over and add this hair to the next section of hair. Do the braiding again the same way and just continue this with each section. Then braid remainder of the hair down and let hang. Then take the back un-braided hair out of the pony and back brush a couple sections and smooth it out so you have a little poof and put in either bobby pins, a bow, or a clip to secure the poof and curl the hair a little. Don't forget to use something like Demented Hair Goo by Beyond Zone from Sally's while you are braiding or Bees Wax. Both can be found at Sally's. Also it helps to use some kind of volumizing cream for the hair that stays down.

Oh and btw she has her finger in her mouth, not nose lol :)

I took lots of pictures but not exactly step by step. I hope all these help.

This hair d0' could be worn by any age, I would but I can't cornrow my own hair lol.

I would love to see some of your pictures featuring this style!

Twist Buns

~~Twist Buns~~
I did thisabout 4 years ago and found the pics so I thought I would post this until I do the 'do again :). It is 5 twisted buns across the top with a braid going across from each twist bun on the left and right side. I like this look, it is really cute but the only bad this is my princess' hair gets very tangled when left down. So I don't leave it down like that very often.

Twisted Twists

Twisted Twists

This is some thing I am still working on. I don't like the way the top turned out as much but I like the twist. After I get the kinks worked out I will post that as well.

Basically what I did was I put her hair into 3 ponies and then seperated the hair into multiple twists and secured with an elastic. I did this with all 3 ponies and took each twist and twisted it into itself so it was twisted in half. Then I secured the ends into the top of the pony and curled it. This is how it looked....

Let me know what you think :)

Her Easter Hair Do

Her Easter Hair Do

So this is the one we finally did. It is part of the other idea's with something else thrown in. I didn't get the step by step pictures this time but for the most part they are already on my other postings.

This is the 'do. Read below for how to overview.

So basically I seperated 2 sections of hair 1 on each side of her head and secured with a clear elastic. I then did those into twist. The reast of the hair I seperated into 3 ponies and did the flowers like in my other post. After that I twisted the twist up over her head like a headband and secure them bt tying a string around them. Then I added it to the "stems" and she DID have a real pretty ribbon wrapped around the "stem" bottom to look like a pretty bouquet buuutttt she squirmed around so much during church that it slid off so I didn't get that in the pic.

So here it is if you have any question or anything ask away :)

Happy Easter!!!

~~Brianna and Chelina~~

update.....

You ever have one of those days where nothing seems to go right? Well that is today lol. I got started on doing the Easter style I was telling you about and not only was her hair just not cooperating there were people in and out and the phone ringing, dog barking....well you see what I mean.

Soooooo I am going to have to post the Easter Hairstyle tomorrow to save my sanity lol. Sorry :(

I want to start experimenting more too just haven't been able to....but summer is coming which means a slower schedule and more time to tinker :)I like to also use extensions of fun colors and beads and all kinds of stuff so I am going to try more of that after a bit. For the St Patrick's Day before last I added emerald green hair to hers in dutch braids and it was cute...didn't get a pic though :(.

Well, I will leave it with this but I am going to post it tomorrow so just check back. Thank you for reading :0)
