Back to School Styles for Natural Hair

It's that time of year again!! We wanted to share a few style options for your little naturals who are head back to class!

I'm showing 3 different ways to wear the same style.

Top Style:

I braided her hair in a mohawk fashion and created a center braid that starts at the base and leads to the top. I did not continue to braid at the very top. Instead, I created a cute pompadour type of bun and added a fab bow courtesy of the very talented Tyree of Miss. Teeny Fab Couture. She also created the matching Barbie shirt to match! If you haven't checked out her page, you are definitely missing out!! 

Middle Style:

For this style, I kept the center braid, but I changed it up a little bit. I created three separate center braids that all lead to the top. I then wrapped the ends of her braids around each other and pinned them into place. 

Bottom Style:

For this style, the center braid is made by incorporating the bottom and middle section, but not the top. I made a ponytail for the top section and allowed it to flow freely. I wrapped the end of her braid around the ponytail holder and pinned it into place. 

There you have it! Three different style options from one style! Do you have any back to school styles to share? We would love to see them!!! 

Intricate Cornrows with Bangs on Natural Hair + Review

The Style

Check out Anisa's new style! I created this intricate cornrow with bangs style this weekend. I must admit that I did not have this in mind when I started. My original plan was to create an updo but I ended up changing a few things and this was the outcome. 

I started on clean, detangled, moisturized hair. I banded her hair in preparation of this style in the following way: 

I began braiding the left side first and made my way to the the right side by braiding from the front to the back in each section. 

For clarification, let's say that there are three sections. Section 1 was placed into a low bun in the back and secured with hair pins. Section 2 was formed into side swept bangs and secured with hair pins. Finally, Section 3 was left to hang and wooden beads were added for extra flair. 

Anisa received so many compliments for this style! Another option is to form another small bun on the right side instead of letting the hair hang.
