KandyLandKurls Protective Style Challenge Week 3

Week 3 went off without a hitch!
We used water/tea tree leave-in spray(from Sallys)
Then we used the Madagascar Vanilla Styling Creme for a sealant and hold :)
I re-did some of the braids smaller because we realized her hair does much better with smaller braids than the ones that were put in on week 1!
I put the minis in a piggyback braid ponytail so she can play around the house without her ends getting messed with :)

KandyLandKurls Protective Style Challenge Week 2

We got to week 2 and it's going so well in the challenge!
We only re-braided a few that came loose and made a few smaller :)
I used water and giovanni leave-in with olive oil to seal!

KandyLandKurls Protective Style Challenge Week 1

Remember I told y'all back in January that Beebs'  is gonna participate in the challenge!
Well it is done on the 19th so we're almost there!
There are sooo many awesome styles we have seen in the group and met sooo many awesome new friends:)


This is a post for week one!
We decided to do box braids for the challenge because Beebs loves them and loves how she can put them up almost anyway she can :)
January 19th:
We washed her hair with Shea Moisture's Curl and Shine Shampoo and Conditioned with Silk Elements Luxury Moisturizing Conditioner(which I got free with renewing my Sally Card last October and won't be using it again on her hair because it has mineral oil in it and any products with that in it just sit on top of her hair)
 \
After lightly drying with a t-shirt we re-wet with some water and added Giovanni's Leave-In and for the sealant I used Bruce's Babes Butter(http://www.brucesbabesbutter.com/) for the back(then my clumsy self lost the container so I couldn't finish with it...BUT I have it now) (BBB will be getting a review from me very soon! :)
I used Grapeseed oil for the top sealant. I cornrow the box braids to get the crinkly look and she loves it! :)
