I'm So Sometimey...My Twins are Done Transitioning

I'm Sometimey as you are fully aware by now. It was a long hot summer. My husband killed our grass with weed killer. My youngest daughter is 7 and her B-day party is tomorrow. She is having a Princess Tiana theme this year. I figure I'd better get it in before she enters the tween zone that the majority of her friends have already reached ewwww. My baby is growing up to fast.

This is what her cake is going to look like:



My last Princess Party, sigh.

My twins are done with their transition. They have all natural shoulder length hair and are militantly anti-perm. If they let me, I'll post some pics of them. They are wearing braid-outs. It took us two years (ages 10-12) to reach shoulder length(unstretched). We do a simple method of washing and detangling it (in sections, gobs of cheap conditioner, wide tooth comb and denman brush) every two weeks (that's all I can do sorry Kimmaytube lol). I put their hair in about 20 braids (well moisturized and sealed with oil, let that air dry over night. Take it down the next day a voila, gorgeous. To keep it up over the next two weeks I re-braid it at night into 8 to 10 braids (adding moisture if needed). I do not comb it or brush it for these rebraids, I just finger detangle, moisturize if needed and braid. I take it down in the morning and BAM, gorgeous. It gets more defined with each rebraid. I have to clip their ends this weekend. I clipped V's last week.

I discovered a new blog!!! This mom is not sometimey like myself. She is awesome and so are the styles she does on her daughter's hair.

Braids, Beads, and Beyond. Enjoy!
