Childs Protective Style

Here is a style that I recently did on my daughter's hair. Its one of her favorites. I love it because its cute, protective, styled without combs/brushes/ponytail holders, and age appropriate.

First wash the hair and separate in sections. The sections depends on the desired amount of hair you want braided. Instead of using a comb try using your fingers to detangle the curls. I use Shea Moisture organic coconut and hibiscus curl and style milk. The parts do not have to be straight for this style. They will not be seen.

For this style all you will need:
Bobby pins
Optional Headband


1.
Finger comb the hair and then braid 
2.
Continue to braid the sections

3. 
Take each braid and create a rosette or a loose knot. Secure with bobby pins.

4. 
Two strand twist the front

5.
At this point you can leave the twist down if you like.
*Add a cute headband. This one in particular I made.
(I will be posting a tutorial very soon :)

6.
 Pin the twists to the side. 
*Add a cute headband.


*At night protect the hair with a scarf. Moisturize and Oil scalp and hair as needed.*

I hope that you enjoy this style as much as we do!
