Easy Heart Hairstyles for Valentine's Day

For the longest I contemplated doing a heart hairstyle for Valentines Day, I wanted to do one for D but I wasn’t sure how I was going to style it. Then, one day, I some got inspiration from the Hearts! post at Goldilocks *n* Me. I showed D the different styles from that post and she wanted me to do the “topsy tail braided ponytail heart” (if I may call it that, lol).

Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Hair Treatment {Review & Giveaway}

Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil Hair Treatment from Tropical Traditions has been an amazing treatment for D’s hair. Just this past week, after I washed, conditioned, and detangled D’s hair, I added some Bee Mine Luscious moisturizer then sealed with the Gold Label Coconut Oil Hair Treatment, I banded her hair in 4 sections to prepare it for styling the next evening. The next morning I took the 4 banded sections down and did 2 banded ponytails, I needed her hair to stay as stretched and untangled as possible because that evening I was going to straighten her hair. Her hair was extremely soft and moisturized and I felt it was going to be protected from the heat of the flat iron by the coconut oil treatment.

Fun Holiday Hairstyles

Pretty much any hair do can be made into a “Christmas” hairstyle with the right accessories. Fancy updo’s for the holidays are nice, but what kid doesn’t love a fun, festive hairstyle. We changed up the classic Kai Lan inspired hair style and added some color that was perfect for Christmas. Disclaimer: I am aware that my cornrowing skills are still lacking... no one is prefect, right.

Strawllers Review

We tried out our Strawllers, and I have to admit that I was so excited to do that, that I didn’t a) watch a tutorial video first b) just dove right in and didn’t really know exactly what I was doing and c) was in a hurry to get it done. So, the curls weren’t the neatest in the world, but
