Our 5th Annual Hair Show! Introducing Diva N...

It has been over a month since our last Hair Show and we are excited to get it back in motion especially with our friend Kandy's Daughter "N" from KandyLandKurls!!!!!

Meet N <3

Brief Bio

N is 6 years old, she is half African American and Puerto Rican.  Her hair type is mostly 3c mixed with 4a.

How and When you got started styling hair

I learned how to braid from my aunts, as a child. I would practice on my American Doll Addy, and Barbies. I was very scissor happy on my dolls :( and learned through trial and error. But it wasn't until I was 12 that I learned the hard way on my own hair. From dye, hot combs, gels, to chemicals. I experimented with a little bit of everything lol. 

Hair care Routine/Pet peeves 

I wash N's hair once a week, every weekend. I deep condition her hair every other wash, I use a rinse out conditioner also.

I try to make sure her hair is in some form of braids or twists, which helps to prevent knotting in the morning (she is a wild sleeper) I also try my best to put a satin scarf on her head (it tends to come off at night & I'm forgetful sometimes) but I do try to use it daily.

I give N a hot oil treatment, or I should say, warm oil treatment, once every month or every other just to make sure her hair is well oiled. 

N receives a egg treatment, once a month. All I have to do is simply crack 2 raw eggs into a bowl and beat them. Then I apply the eggs to her dry hair and I let it sit for approx. 10 mins. Then I wash it out with warm/cold water and continue with shampooing. (FYI -it's important to use cold water, to prevent scrambled eggs in the hair..yucky)

Swimming- I make sure she has a leave in conditioner in her hair and I try to co-wash the next day to get the salt/chlorine out of her hair.

Products we are currently using: These products are in our current regimen, and may change as we try other products. 

Shampoo- Bee Mine Botanical Moisturizing Shampoo/ Shea Moisture Shampoo.

Deep Conditioner- Organix Coconut Milk /Bee Mine (Bee-U-Ti-Ful) Moisturizing Deep Conditioner.(I leave it on for 20 mins, with a shower cap and hot towel, then wash it out.)

Likes/Dislikes regarding hair products

I love Bee Mine products for N's hair, Organix Coconut Milk Conditioner, and our Shea Butter Mix. I dislike the Denman Brush on her hair, even after modifying it, her hair would wrap around the brush and snap. 

Favorite Activities

N is a yellow belt in Taekwondo. She is also in Girl Scouts, Gymnastics, T-ball, and her Schools Science Club. In the past she was in Ballet, and Beauty Pageants. Our favorite family activity is playing checkers, N is very good and beats her Dad all the time. We also love to wrestle as a family (weird, I know) but even our 1 year old tackles and wrestles at random moments lol.

How do you get your little one to tolerate hair time

If it's wash day or I am doing a style that takes 2 hours or longer, I put on a movie to keep her entertained. But for our shorter styles we talk the entire time. Since she was a baby, she never complained or fussed when getting her hair done. 

Here are some gorgeous styles of N's!

N is such a doll! Thank You Kandy for having N on our hair Show! It was a pleasure getting to know more about N and seeing her lovely styles! Im still shocked i haven't had her on our hair Show until now :p Time flies! I don't know how you get anytime to yourself Kandy with Diva N and all of her activities and keeping lil man entertained too! You sure are supermom! I love the family wrestling that is so awesome!!! I think that may be a fun addition into our household! Usually daddy and the kids wrestle while mommy hangs out and gets things done but i now wanna get in the action too!!
