Wedding Wednesday...Flower Girl Hairstyles

I woke up today and thought to myself, I've never done a post on kids wedding styles. Today is the day. It can be difficult to decide on styles for little girls because kids are active and there are concerns with practicality. 

It seems that for special occasions kids always have a way of ruining the style before they even get to the special event. 

I recommend buns for girls only because it's practical and if they sweat out their hair then it's still tamed.  When you deal with kids, it's only natural to want to give them curls and straighten their hair, but you don't want to waste money on something that's only going to last for the day, if even that long. Texture also has alot to do with what style you choose. I personally feel that a bun works for any texture of hair from fine-coarse. If the hair is fine, you make need to altar the bun (It may need teasing to give it more volume, and fill in the gaps). 

 Sometimes little girls wear braided hairstyles. A bun can still be achieved with certain braided styles as well. 

If you are seeking to soften your little girls curl pattern, a relaxer or keratin is not the answer. I don't believe in applying chemical straighteners to kids hair but I do believe in a pressing comb, blow dryer, or flat iron.

 If the texture of the hair is curly but on the fine side, all you need is a good blow dryer and maybe a flat-iron. A heat protectant is recommended as well. I like Paul Mitchell "super skinny" and also Kerastase' "elixir ultime". For edge control try Tigi Bedhead's wax stick. It's a miracle worker. 

Wedding Wednesday...WorkOut Hair Maintenance

Many of you are actively trying to keep your bodies together, whether it be for life or for your wedding day.
If you are trying to get 'Snatched' for the wedding day or for life then you need to be conscience of the way you are maintaining your natural hair.
Those that have fine hair are probably shampooing their hair regularly, whereas those that have normal to coarse hair are probably shampooing 1-0 times a week.
No matter what texture your hair is, if you are working out multiple times a week then you should be shampooing your hair at least once a week.
The reason being is because if you are "really" working out then you are sweating.
Sweat (Perspiration) has salt in it along with many other minerals, which is dependent upon what the individual produces. It could be sodium (salt), magnesium, calcium, etc.
Imagine if you didn't take a shower after a workout, how would you smell after a week?!
That should put things into perspective on the importance of shampooing your hair.
If you can't smell your own hair, then others can and chances are you're being talked about. Just saying!
I'm not saying you have to shampoo everyday but at least once a week.
Leaving salt in your hair can be damaging as well. It can cause breakage because salt is drying, think about it. Salt absorbs.
I like sea breeze.
You can mix it in while you are shampooing your hair. Make sure you are also using a hydrating conditioner to ensure that you are restoring moisture into your hair.

Even if you are wearing braids, run some water through that scalp to rinse the salt out.
Even when I'm shampooing extensions, I can smell it when people have been sweating alot, it's not the most pleasant smell.
Again I stress, maintain good hair hygiene, no matter if you have extensions or natural hair.
I really like Paul Mitchell "shampoo three" because it's does an amazing job in cutting any impurities from the hair. It's the best that I've seen on the market. You can literally feel the difference on your hair.  Trust me, you'll be amazed!
