I decided to twist my son's hair with the intention of starting locs. The twists looked great for awhile but unfortunately he has been sick and the twists were neglected. I had no choice but to take them out and maybe one day try again.
In the meantime, I tried a textured Afro method that I've heard a lot about. The process was super easy and it was not time consuming at all!
Products used:
Water bottle
My hand :-)
Process:
I sprayed King's hair with warm water from the water bottle. Next, I applied the Shea Moisture Organic Coconut and Hisbiscus Curl and Style Milk to his entire head. I did not saturate his hair with the style milk but it was evenly distributed. Finally, I used my hand to create a textured look. I used the palm of my hand to rub his hair in a clockwise motion all around. The result was a beautifully textured fro for my little King.
Have you tried this method? What were your results? I would love to see pictures!!
i love his fro! i'm contemplating twist for my lil dude too.. we shall see
ReplyDeleteI have done that method on my younger son but his hair didn't do anything, think his curl pattern is too loose for it to come out like I was expecting. King is handsome as always.
ReplyDeleteThat is cool! P.S. the photography is beautiful! He is super handsome :) How long did it take to remove the locs?
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies!

love both looks! that textured fro is awesome. I love that you post about King to - I'm always looking for inspiration and ideas for my little K too. Hope he's feeling better!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mama M! He really isn't doing any better. He's having breathing/asthma issues so we're just doing what we can while hoping it gets better. They both have the same issues.
