Panda Piggies

So when i started this blog I had every intention to make it a blog for more then just hair, so here we go, im going to start addding the MORE stuff from here on out.

Since spring is coming full speed ahead and most ladies like to have their toes looking nice, heres a fun a quick style for your little ones piggies. Mari loves having her toes done in different unique styles. While ive been on bedrest its one of the activities she loves to do with mommy, that and watching movies.

This style is super simple to do, if enough people ask i'll make a tutorial.

Were Back!!!!

Just as promised were back up and running and will be keeping the blog updated. I will be adding a ton of past styles as long as some new ones to the mix in the next couple of days. I'll also be adding some fun nail styles since spring is coming and we all love the kiddos to keep pretty feet.

First up is a Mickey Mouse inspired do. The from clippy i made myself, the back bows were bows from when i was a kiddo (how cool is that?), her shirt is from old navy and them goofy glasses are courtesy of the movie theater

Its been awhile

so its been quite sometime since ive gotten a chance to update and have been getting lots of emails and messaages of people wondering what happened. well the blog will be updated and kept up with in the next couple weeks. as many know im pregnant and this pregnancy has been rough to say the least, its been lots of tears, tests, hospital stays and prayers but im glad to say my little guy is putting up the fight of his life before hes even born. im currently tweenty nine weeks and we will be delivering in the next few weeks. our little guy has iugr and ive been showing signs of pre eclampsia. were not in the clear yet but theres a light at the end of the tunnel

Braided Mohawk into twists

Ok, so I "jocked" off my half mohawk style from June and tweeked it a bit to turn it into a full mohawk. Mari loves this style and i love that the barettes are not hanging in her face. This might get redone for the first day of school im not sure yet. She has so much hair you can't even see the full mohawk style.

the front and only way you can tell its a mohawk








and my little brat after we were all done

Tackling Heat

Alot of people dont like to use any heat on natural hair for the fear of damaging the natural hair. I try to keep the use of heat to a bare minimum on both Mari and myself. Once every few 5-6 months i will take out our flat iron and flat iron both of our hair on the lowest heat setting. Most times its a pain in the butt. When using heat i keep the hair heavily coated in olive oil. At night i always wrap and secure the hair and wrap a silk scarf around it. I never leave the hair in that state for more then four days, longer for myself. When its time to wash i use half a bottle of Suave coconut conditioner on the hair before we even get in the tub. I let that sit for at least ten minutes then carefully rinse the hair out. Then i follow our normal washing routine putting extra conditoner in then i normally would. To avoid any damage that the heat might have caused i always put Marz hair in a protective style and leave it for a week after her hair is washed.

Heres some pics from Marz with her hair flat ironed.
