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!

    I'm sure her hair is cute, but I am totally distracted by the adorable-ness of her complete outfit. OMG I want those shoes!!

    I'll have to try that with the ecostyler on Ivy's braids

    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.

    i used the eco styler gel for my daughters mini braids too. actually.. thats what i use for most of her styles. we haven't really tested too many products on her hair, i'm too scared to waste the money if we don't like it! lol

    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.

    Wow that outfit is so cute! Do you make her clothes and accessories? They always match her outfits perfectly like they were custom designed.

    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!

    Beautiful! I love her outfit! It matches the background perfectly. I'm anxious to see how you change the braids up.

    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.
