I removed Syd's box braids last night, and she washed her hair this morning. Afterward, I applied a leave in and combed it through. Then we got ready to style.
I did this style in one quarter of her hair at a time, so I first parted out one fourth of her hair.
At this point, that half of her hair looked like this
I repeated the same steps in the hair on the other side of her head. Now I had cornrows that met along a horizontal part that goes from ear to ear.
Next, I took the hair on the left side of her head and cornrowed it toward the center of her head, moving along the horizontal part. I didn't go all the way across her head - I stopped in the center where the ponytail would be.
I repeated that step on the right side of her head and put both cornrows in a ponytail when they met in the middle. I then put the hair from the ponytail into 3-strand twists.
Sidenote: I didn't mention any products in this post. I tried a line of products for this style that I have never used before, and I wasn't a fan of how they made her hair feel. It doesn't feel as moisturized as I would like, and only time will tell how much hold it offers. I usually try 2 different styles with a product before forming a definite opinion. I'll be sure to let you know which products I used and what I think of them after I try them again.
