Mini Braids & Eco Styler Gel



We're on day 20/25 of A's mini braids, I mentioned how frizzy they were in the last post so since I'm out of Kinky Curly Curling Custard (which I prefer) I decided to try Eco Styler gel on her braids to hold the frizz down. I spritzed her braids with water then added a generous amount of Eco Styler Gel to the ends of her braids. The ends of her braids have unraveled quite a bit, I mostly blame this on her swimming every day but I believe her trim is also partly to blame. I added a bit of Eco Styler Gel to the top of her braids as well since her roots are so frizzy. Her hair is still damp in these pictures but the Eco Styler did a pretty good job at making her braids look decent. I hope to take the top of her braids out soon so I can restyle. Possibly cornrows on the top instead? Stay tuned!

  3. Right Andrea!! The outfit is taking me completely DOWN! Oh she is so CUTE! Good to know about the E styler. I'm a die hard fan of KC's Custard and Tiny Twirls Styler and have never ventured out (KC's stuff last FOREVER!). Will grab so E Styler when I see it on sale lawd.

  9. Beautiful pic....A is pretty as usual. Her hair still looks great. Think we are doing Des' hair in mini twist or braids again this weekend. I can only hope they will last this long. Her hair is so fine our biggest challenge is frizz.

  13. A's braids are holding up very well. I have the eco-styler gel w/olive oil & the hold is very soft, so I really like it. Oh yeah, Gymboree should put you on the payroll. (wink, wink!)We have a few pieces from that line too. Keep up the good work,Nikki!

  15. WHAT are you doing for her hair to stay like that other than rinsing and putting a satin scarf at night. My daughter's braids get messy the following day,i wish it could stay a week.
