I was on the banded kick for a while. lol I decided to try something a little different and do a banded three strand twist look. I added a few beads to the ends. The style took about 20-30 minutes.
My camera died while I was making the video, but you get the idea, right? :)
I also wanted to thank everyone so much for your thoughts and prayers, I truly appreciate it. My little brother was released from the hospital last week and all has been well. <3
Do you blow dry her hair before you start? My daughter's hair is so curly that I can't do styles like this. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to hear he's ok!!! Glad to have you back online :)
ReplyDelete@Charmaine, no I did not. Her hair was previously stretched out from the other banded styles. Try banding her hair or stretching it in big braids, then you will be able to do it. My daughters hair is very curly as well, so I totally understand what you mean.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear everythings ok.
ReplyDeleteA's hair is pretty. I love banding as well because it helps stretch curly hair. Although...it may not show the true length, it does help if you want to do a style in which you want to see some length without using any heat.
Im glad that your brother is better. He has been on my mind. I Wish i knew about banding years ago because my daughter has alot of shrinkage. A's hair so long and healthy! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteCute...wonder if it will work on Lex hair. She was so good sitting there all quiet!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, does anyone know why her brother was in the hospital?
ReplyDeletegonna haveto try this i was just about th take out my daughter hair and do box plaits now i think ill hit up the dollar store for some more hair holders and find something to put on the ends
ReplyDeleteThey are Cute. I took your idea about 2 weeks ago, I was sick and did not feel like braiding, ( http://mylittlerascals-letty.blogspot.com/2010/03/5-minute-hair-style.html ) she liked them after I took them off she said she wanted more "puffs" and I did 4 instead of 2.
ReplyDeleteTHank you for the great ideas Nikki.
Really cute!!
ReplyDeleteI'm about to try the styles in my three year old's hair because I surely don't want to fight with her to put braids in. Hopefully she'll sit still lol
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your brother is okay!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it. I did banding for Saint Patty's Day with pretty green bands. How do you put the beads on the bottom? Do you have a video of that?
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how the banded method was done, thanks for the tut
