My neice, my guinea pig

[webby]

I had the good fortune to do my first bantu knots this weekend, courtesy of my beautiful neice (thank you sweety )

Her birthday is Tuesday and I wanted to make her look even more pretty than she is, but we disagreed on one thing, she wanted her hair straight. She has gorgeous curls, but of course, wants straight hair, a relaxer

Thank God, her mom trusts me with her hair, so asked me to cut and style her hair.

SO...I had fun... If only I could get this to work on my head

Gorgeous results, Webby. Your neice and son (I'm assuming) are both too cute.

She's beautiful!

 

[webby]

Thank you ladies. She really is a beautiful child, for the inside out.
Yes Tai, that's my rascal...the constant flirt

What products did you put in her hair before making the knots?

What products did you put in her hair before making the knots?

I used Humectress and Sebastian Potion no 9. Do you have any recommendations?

 

[KAddy]

Your son is too cute. Makes me wanna pinch his checks.

Your neice is too cute too. The bantu knots look great. The pic looks like something I would see in a hair mag showing kiddie hairstyles.

Your niece has BEAUTIFUL hair and your son is beautiful period!

You did a great job, webby, and she's adorable !

 

[ShortyDooWhop]

Beautiful little girl and equally beautiful hair. Great job.

 

[Champagne_Wishes]

Webby, IMO you did a good job. May I ask what did you use to secure it?

 

[Jenai]

Beautiful niece, Webby. You really did a good job on her hair!!!

 

[Angelicus]

what a cute little girl! wow, and her hair is just as gorgeous!

 

[webby]

Thank you ladies. I have to say, it really did come out better than I expected.

@ Champagne_Wishes - I was going to use bobby pins, but I didn't need them; it stayed once it was wrapped around completely.

No, I don't. I'd like to try this on my daughter,and I wanted to know what you used. Your niece's hair came out so beautiful and shiny. And your son is a doll.

Her hair looks great and you can even seperate the tendrils later on for a fluffy curly hairstyle. I love styles for little kids that you can stretch during the week without having to totally re-do their hair.

Your son is darling

Thanks for the compliments regarding my son

@ MsK, I was planning on finger combing her hair, minimizing on the necessity to redo, but she was SO impatient. I would really like to do her hair more often; her mother has straigt hair and tries really hard to manage her hair, but she really doesn't know how to.

@ Mecca - I don't know what type of hair your daughter has, but I really was surprised by the shine my niece got. Her hair usually looks dull, regardless to the amount of anything put on it. I think that potion number 9 is what added the super shine to her natural hair. If you do this on your daughter, please share pics with us

@ webby- what is the potion 9? a serum, gel? I'd say that my daughter has type 3b/3a or 3a/3c hair. Anyway I ask what the sebastians is because she's only 2 1/2 and I don't want to put anything harsh in her hair. I'll definitely post pics. Also, my daughter's hair likes Humectress.

Potion No 9 is a leave in conditioner, but I completely understand your concern. At your baby's age, there's not need for harsh chemicals in her hair.
