Hair Carnival: Curlformers!

We're participating in another Hair Carnival this month. The topic of this particular carnival is Curlformers, and there's even a giveaway!

We love our Curlformers! We have the extra long and wide ones and have used them many times. Instead of doing a new style right now, I'm going to post pictures of Curlformers styles we've done in the past. If you've been reading the blog for a while, some of these pictures may look a little familair. If the picture is from a previous post here on Tweeny Hair, I'll leave you a link to the original post.

How to do little girl's hairstyles: Winter Weather Haircare

Here's one more haircare tip for this cold weather season!!

Cold weather dries out your hair and can lead to STATIC! To avoid this, try sleeping on a silk or sateen pillowcase. This will help your hair glide gently over its surface, helping prevent hair damage and friction, and thus, static. Your hair will also be more shiny and silky in the morning than if you were to use a regular pillowcase. My gals have some and they love theirs! You can also make them very inexpensively and easily if you are so inclined. :) (Me-I stick to the hairdoing).

Happy winter and see you next year!!

A Little Change

Syd's look got changed up a little bit today. She's wearing bangs for the first time in her life! She may or may not keep them. And if she keeps them, we will probably cut more to make them thicker. Time will tell, I suppose.




What do you think? Keep them? Grow them out? Cut more? We would love to hear your opinions!

Easy Christmas Style

I hope you all had a great Christmas!

My original goal was to take pictures of Syd's hair, which she styled herself in a simple twist out for Christmas. Unfortunately, I spaced out and didn't take a single picture of the back of her hair. So now all I can do is show you a picture of the twists on Christmas Eve and another of the twist out on Christmas morning. Better than nothing, right? :)

In the picture below, you can see Syd's twists that were done on Christmas Eve. She has a little side part and some pretty chunky twists.




The next morning, Syd removed the twists and put on a headband that she found in her stocking. It was nice to have her hair looking good after using up just few minutes of Christmas morning for styling.




Quick, easy, and cute.....perfect for Christmas morning!

How to do little girls' hairstyles: Cold Weather Haircare

The winter can make the hair dull and static and dry! To avoid or deal with these two problems you need to know how to care for your hair! Here are some tips to help your locks looking healthy and happy this winter season.


Make sure you use moisturizing hair products and plenty of conditioner. Conditioner will help keep your hair's elasticity and movement. It will help maintain the hair cuticle and keep it from cracking or splitting, and therefore, less split ends! Healthy hair is the easiest to work with, it is easier to style, maintain and it also has better movement and body.
• Style your hair using volumizing mousse if it's feeling flat. Adding some volume will always boost good a good 'hair down' hairdo. 
• Always dry out your hair completely before you go outside. Using the cold setting on your dryer will help with static and dry hair, as it helps seal the cuticle of the hair. Use a thermal protection spray if you do use heat first, and then do a cold shot after to help lock in the hairdo.
• Do not put on your hair accessories right after you blow dried, as the hair is still warm, and as it cools, it will take the shape of your hair accessory. You know those lovely ponytail dents?
More to come! Enjoy your holidays with your sweet family and friends!

My BEST Bantu Knot Out

In my last post I mentioned that I gave myself a much needed trim, well thank goodness I finally came to my senses and snipped those terrible ends off. My hair feel great and my styles are coming out much better! I achieved my first decent looking Bantu knot out after trimming and OMG, I was shocked at the results. Like, seriously!  I have never achieved a good Bantu knot out, ever! I credit that to my trim because I would try BNOs when my ends weren't quite up to par. Bad ends = bad Bantu knot out, I'm convinced. 







So, here is what I did. I blew my hair out to prep for the trim, I used a higher heat setting this time, versus my cool/warm setting because I needed my hair "straight" enough to trim. Grape seed oil was my heat protectant of choice, as always. Now before some of y'all ask, no my hair was not bone straight. See the below picture for an idea of what I was working with.



Before the trim. My ends were in bad shape.





I usually trim in the order: blow out, twist, trim twist ends and repeat. I couldn't do that this time around. Instead I blew out, trimmed and then twisted to prep for the Bantu knots. I actually had to hold my hair between two finger like the stylist do to trim. Yes, they were that bad. Oh and sidenote: I went to cosmetology school in high school so I know a little something, something ;o).






You can buy the above product by clicking *HERE*


I used Sweet Ohm's pudding to style and my Safi Hair Care's Pumpkin Puddin' to seal. My hair smells GREAT and feels like soft cotton, I love it. It was so good to take the Bantu knots down and have big soft hair with movement. I will make a YT video on how I Bantu knot soon! It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Below you can see more pics of my BNO and how I decided to style it for Christmas Eve dinner. Oh and before I forget, MERRY CHRISTMAS BEAUTIFULS! 







Yes, of course I threw my hair up in a bun... LOL
