2 Cornrows + 2 Puffs= 2 Cute

As usual, I needed something quick and simple, to beat the tension span of a busy 9 month old. Today, my timer was how long it would take for Blaire to dump the contents of her hair box onto the floor and couch. (p.s. our collection is expanding & I am in desperate need of a more sophisticated container lol)

I moisturized with a tad bit of Shea Moisture's Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancer, and Safi Hairsicle Cream.

WHOA look at what she did to my floor!!!!

So Blaire is sitting pretty while I clean up her mess!

X style

 

This style was inspired by Nikki over at Beads, Braids and Beyond (Her blog is the first tiny tot haircare blog I began to follow. I started following her even before I had Blaire. She of course influenced my wanting a baby girl.)

It didn't come out perfectly because as you can imagine it is very difficult to do an active 9 month old's hair while she is awake but hey, still cute!

I used Safi Hairsicle Cream to Moisturize (which by the way I've been hooked on lately). The bow in the front may be substituted for another puff. I will probably change it to a puff tomorrow, to switch it up. I am so loving this style!

3 innovative puffs

 So, Blaire's hair is getting too long for her everyday fro and headband. It isn't long enough for cute down & out styles. She is still in her stroller, and it sadly flattens her fro, giving her bed head!!!

I woke up to this & began to moisturize & part while she slept

By the time she woke up, it looked like this

3 poofs seemed so boring so I tried to implement a <3

BAM!

Everyone Loves Puffs!!!!

Baby Eczema

So Blaire's eczema has flared up again, practically overnight. We have not seen this eczema stuff since she was first born. The best thing you can do for any case of Eczema is to keep it moisturized. I used a combination of Vitamin E oil and Shea Moisture's Eczema Therapy (below respectively) to nip it in the bud immediately. Within one week's time, she was eczema free. I am speculating that the weather change, which caused Blaire to go from dresses and free legs, to jeans, spandex and tights (suffocating legs) brought the eczema back. I will post a follow up picture in a week. Wish us luck. :-)

Baby Fro!!!!

No products. All combed out.

Headbands, Bows & Thangs

Last night was a wash (Shampoo) night. I rinsed her hair with Curly Q's Cleansing Cream, and moisturized with Giovanni Organic Leave-In as usual. Aside from running a few errands, we aren't really going anywhere today. It's too warm for a hat in NYC today so, a headband it is! This is the easiest and most simple look for a baby girl. It has been a mom favorite since... forever. I moisturized with Safi Hairsicle Cream & voila!

Happy Hump Day!

The Minihawk

I'm not feeling well so I needed something quick and easy to do. The minihawk is a style that takes less than 10 minutes. Last night I was really sick and did not put her hair into the tiny tot twists so I woke up to her dry, thick hair.

 This is why I love Shea Moisture; After I applied the Curl Enhancing Smoothie and Hair Milk, her curls were moisturized and revived:









 




 I used natural Aloe Gel to slick down the sides. There are no alcohols or harsh ingredients and thus, it did not harden her hair. I also used two Goodie Ouchless Rubberbands. (I am anti rubberbands too BUT these do NOT pull the hair. They slide off easily, I promise.) I used one on each side to gather her hair as I would do for a tiny ponytail and voila. I finished before she finished her cookie! BUT I should've done her hair before I dressed her. Woe is me. Wish me luck.
