Donut

After two weeks of having her braids in I took them out and gave her a breather. Instead of re-braiding her hair, I did another quick and simple protective style that lasted her for the school week. A bun is one of my favorite protective style because it is so simple, and is truly quick to do, especially if your an on-the-go working mom like me. To create this look all you need is a hair donut (you can purchase or make your own), a few hair ties, hair accessories, a hair brush, and hair gel (optional) but if you do use gel I would recommend Olive Oil Eco Styler Gel.


For those who don't know, here is a quick tutorial on how to make a donut. You need a old sock or a pair of stocking and a scissors. Cut the toe portion off the sock or stocking, then you take the top part of the sock and fold it downward and continue to role it until it starts to form a donut. Also to make your donut nice and neat you want to tug on the extra sock at the bottom to tighten it before your next role.

Products review

I just wanted to take a moment to do a quick review on “Organic Coconut Oil.” Coconut Oil has been originally known for cooking and baking, but, studies have shown that it is also good for the treatment of hair, and I totally agree. It’s now been four months since I started Niah’s pre-poo hair regiment. It’s been a major success! What a difference this product makes in the management of her hair. Organic Coconut Oil detangles, adds moisture, and improves the overall health of Niah’s Hair. If you want to give the hair an added kick, every now and you can add eggs, jojoba oil, 2 tbsp honey, Jamaican black coconut castor oil, and deep conditioner. You can purchase organic coconut oil at Whole Foods or any local grocery store.

Janelle Monae

I did a quick and simple protective style on my daughter's hair, I call this the Janelle Monae. All you need to create this style is a few bobby pins or those little clips with the teeth(the one that looks like a mini comb), a hair brush, and any accessory of your choice. Start from the back of the hair and twist the hair upward toward the front of your head, insert the bobby pin or the clip to hold the twist in place. Stop about a third of the way up to create the puff in the front, and remember the pin down the excess hair.
