1BN Kids: Big Sister Natural's Cornrows and French Braid Styles Happy Thursday, my blessed naturals! I hope you all are having a great night! This week, Big Sister Natural has been rocking cornrows. For the first part of the week, her hair was cornrowed up into a doughnut bun. Last night, her mom took them out in the back and unraveled the ones halfway in the front. The picture above shows the results. The french braid photo below was taken in March about a week after BSN's hair was flat ironed . Both Big Sister and Little Sister Natural's hair grows like weeds thanks to genetics and their mom keeping up with their protective styling routines! 1BlessedNatural: BSN's french braid - last month   BSN's hair in April of 2014  Can you believe how much Big Sister Natural's hair grew?   Related Articles: 1BN Kids: Small Cornrow Into French Braid...                  ...

1BN Kids: Upward Rubber Band, French Braid Into Twisted Bun Style Happy Tuesday, my blessed naturals! I hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend. Little Sister Natural (LSN) is heading back to school with her hair in upward twists into a twisted bun style. I love how her mother did the style because the back was sectioned off into rectangles using rubber bands, split them into two sections, and (correction) two-strand twisted them upward into the top ponytail. The top section was put into a ponytail and sectioned into 2 big twists. The twists were wrapped around and pinned into a bun. LSN has one big twist in her bang area, off to the side. The style took about 30-40 minutes. Cantu Curl Activator was applied to her hair beforehand. Are you going to try this hairstyle on your little natural(s)?
