Saturday’s Shappin’ Style: Criss Cross Braids and Finger Curled Ponies
For this style I made 8 small braids in the front and criss-crossed 6 of them them into 2 ponytails in the back. I finger curled sections of the ponytails and left 2 hanging braids on each side, to which I added some glow in the dark star beads.

Saturdays “Shappin” Hairstyle: Fireworks!
What Independence Day celebration is complete without a festive hairstyle for your little one! For this 4th of July I wanted to incorporate some patriotic colored beads and create a style resembling a firework.
To create this look, start with clean, detangled, well moisturized hair. Then part out a circle around your child's head, clip the hair in the center, back out of the way and begin creating box braids.
Continuing doing this around the head for 2 rounds. When you are ready to part the center circle to make it look like a “firework”, imagine cutting a pizza or a pie, and part it as such, like this:
The standard pony beads are from the craft section at Wal-Mart. I used some jumbo white stars, and some medium barrel red, clear, and red transparent beads for the braids in the outmost circle, I made those braids bigger so that I could use these beads, which I got from Curly Hair Princess Boutique.
To secure the beads on the braids, I take the hair and fold it up over the last bead, then add the rubber and slide the other beads down over the band. This technique holds the beads on much better than just adding a rubber band to end, most beads will slip over the rubber band.
Did you do a festive style on your little one? I would love to see it! Feel free to send it to me at untrainedhairmom@gmail.com
Have a safe and happy Fourth of July!!
