My hair texture of hair get fuzzy easily, so I was wondering what I could use to prevent this from happening, and still keep her style in for more than a few days.Eliza and Zoe's momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07204199742201512273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401110087633857998.post-84072081171281192572011-01-13T13:48:01.959-05:002011-01-13T13:48:01.959-05:00I so love this style...your styles are always crea...I so love this style...your styles are always creative and neat....I'm taking notes for this upcoming weeks "hair day"....thanks again.tresmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848374838970725873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401110087633857998.post-43873020063943059472011-01-12T11:00:22.581-05:002011-01-12T11:00:22.581-05:00I am in awe of this style.

I definitely appreciate having the opportunity to show what I love to do! <br />About the mixture- it's actually something I made for my 1 year old son. I wasn't sure what to use on his hair since he's so young. I ended up mixing the ingredients together and his hair loved it!! When I make it I only make a small amount. There's no particular reason why though. I always have the ingredients readily available so it's not a hassle to make more. The ingredient that I use the most is shea butter. It's basically 4 parts shea butter, 2-3 parts coconut oil, and 1 part castor/vitamin E. I hope this helps. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask!! :-)BraidwithMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363341275707494861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401110087633857998.post-5051854967916450562011-01-11T18:10:37.317-05:002011-01-11T18:10:37.317-05:00Thanks for sharing your hairstyles they are creati...Thanks for sharing your hairstyles they are creative and very inspirational. I am giving cornrowing another shot because of the nice hairstyles featured here and it just makes sense for long term protective styling. I tried making your hair mixture and I like it, but can you tell me exactly how much of each item you use when making yours, so I can get the best long last results. I made the mix using equal parts Shea butter and coconut oil, and a little castor oil and vitamin E, which I love that it doesn't need to be refridgerated! Also what do you use besides water to keep Anisa's braids moisturizered throughout the week?

@Proudmama - I'm not really ...Thanks everyone! <br />@Proudmama - I'm not really into hair types. Please take a look at a few of her other pictures, particularly her Diva Spotlight. It shows her hair when it's still wet. As far as the box braids- I think it's all about the neatness of the parts and the product(s) that you use. It also helps if the hair is stretched and properly detangled. And last but not least, take your time! It took several days to complete this style. If both of you are tired or if you feel rushed, it will show! About the extensions- I get that question a lot while out in public. I'm used to it now lol! I just reply by saying nope it's all hers. 100% Natural!!BraidwithMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04363341275707494861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401110087633857998.post-39443815917999957472011-01-10T16:03:03.103-05:002011-01-10T16:03:03.103-05:00Beautiful Braids...Beautiful Braids...TONYAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18246831318569055292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7401110087633857998.post-13452494865066282882011-01-10T15:29:17.000-05:002011-01-10T15:29:17.000-05:00What a great style!
