On to our Review

Product Description
Snapaholics is a hair accessory company that sells a variety of different hair related items, mainly for children.

Pros:
*Speedy shipping
*Very friendly and professional customer service
*The accessories we received were all of good quality
*Snapaholics has a nice variety of accessories that arent found commonly

Cons:
*When i received the package the box of rubberbands was opened all over the box (probably caused in shipping)
*Id like to see a frequently updated website with more to offer and maybe boy items or hair products too

My Feelings:
I am overall very happy with everything i received.  I love when i can come across unique hair accessories and I'm also a big fan of bobbles, always have been.  I had a great customer service experience with Kathleen and i could definitely recommend Snapaholics. My favorite item were the square beads and the Diva liked these especially. The only thing i would suggest is that the size of the items in diameters and such were listed along with the item so that one wouldn't have to ask per item, this question. Shipping was very fast and i look forward to doing business with Snapaholics again! I'm excited for the new products that will be coming in soon at Snapaholics too.

Here are some hairstyles I've created using the items i chose from Snapaholics.com...






We want to thank Kathleen from Snapaholics for blessing us with this amazing package of goodies and for coming on board as our newest sponsor!  We are excited for this opportunity and  look forward to more  styling with Snapaholics in the near future.

God Bless And Happy Styling...

Pony Tails, Cornrows and Rope Twists Oh MY!

Here is a style that I created a short while ago as the thought crossed my mind that i need to do some more different types of styles where i incorporate varying facets of styling.  So this time around i decided to throw in some Pony Tails, Rope Twists, Cornrows and Clips into a random pattern. 


Im not exactly sure what i used in her hair with this style but its nothing out of our normal array of products :)  Rope twists are the only twists which withstand time in our household and i LOVE the POP effect that they give.  I just parted as i went and styled as i went... Nothing to it but to do it :)


Ive always been one for something different and im always looking for inspiration.  Styles like this only last a day or two in the Divas hair and ALWAYS need fixing up since her hair is so fine and silky like.


This style took about 55 minutes (mostly spent due to parting)...

Rope twists are created by taking the two strands of hair and twisting them INDIVIDUALLY in a CLOCKWISE direction THEN twisting them around each other in a COUNTER CLOCKWISE direction.

Pig Tails With 2 Strand Rope Twists and Barrettes

Ive caught a case of the Pig Tail fever! Here is yet another simple quick and easy style from our recent vault of hairstyles for girls.   I used some of our normal products that are in rotation with this style and its creation...


I dampened, detangled and parted her hair for pig tails with a part going straight down the middle.  Then i pony tailed each side off with some white heart bobbles and i decided i wanted two rope twists stemming from each pig tail... (Rope Twists are the twists that are 3D in formation and they look like actual ropes) They are super easy to create and only require splitting the secton in two even parts and twisting each part counterclock wise and then twisting the two twisted parts together counte clockwise to form them into the "rope" shape. 


These twists stay longest out of all for us and i love the 3D effect <3 All in all it took 20 minutes to create and stayed in place with some rubber bands and clips.



Simple quick cute and girly <3

Valentine's Heart Hairstyle For Girls Version 2

Heart Heaven is where we have been lately :) I've been surfing the net and concocting some ideas for some Valentines hair styles and i decided on doing heart themed styles for the rest of this month and then i will be on to some St. Patty's Day styles...


I had promised that i would post the re-vamped version of my most recent heart hairstyle and without further a due here it is!




So as you can see the style nearly stayed the same with a few tweaks and additions. I figured that i would add two additional pony tails instead of the one side pony tail now totalling 3 pony tails. I also re-did the 2 strand rope twists stemming from the heart and i added more rope twists to the other two pony tails totalling 6 rope twists.




We were itching to use some of our Sidewinders and we chose the brown and pink 3 inch Hair Holders to adorn the rope twists with.  I picked out a cute matching outfit and a misted a few spritz's of Shea Moisture Mist and we were revamped into a whole new style just that fast.






All in all this transformation style took 15 minutes and i plan on it lasting a few more days :)


The Diva really loved her festive style and the Sidewinders are one of her staple accessories as it is so she was really in Diva mode. I am beginning to fall in LOVE with these rope twists they have seriously been working for us and lasting as long as needed as well. They haven't lasted through the night though but lasting all day is a plus in our book for sure because twists have never been long lasting or even possible in her hair until now and still only rope twists are working.  



Here is an idea of what her rope twists look like after i unraveled them. Her hair seriously looks "loc'd" up. I like the cute fun spiral looking loc imitators :) Too bad i cant further unravel them without them losing their spiral look.





This is a simple to follow style and most of the styles i create are created in random freestyle way anyways, i usually create as i go with no format which would make tutorials hours long  and some what needless. * If you always start with your focal point of the style and work around it you will achieve the same style or create your own version like i did, having the heart as my focal point i just simply created around it.*




God Bless and Happy Pre-Valentine's Day <3

Valentine's Heart Hairstyle For Girls

I have been busy busy busy trying to create new styles and re-inventing some new styles that i came across.  Since it is nearly Valentine's Day i knew i had to do some styles with hearts in them :)  I had got inspired to do this hair style when i seen a recent Valentine's Style by Goldi Locks N-Me. 

I used distilled water spritz, Bee Mine Luscious Balanced Cream Moisturizer and our Shea Moisture Mist respectively.  I first began by parting the heart in the spot that i wanted it to be in. Next i created the bottom side cornrow and followed that up with the cornrow from the top of the head shaping around the heart and finishing at the top of her ear. 


Then i smoothed out the heart and rubber banded it off. Then i created two, two strand rope twists from the heart and added some big pink flower clips that we got form Curly Princess Hair Boutique.  I decided to merge the two cornrows at the point of her ear and then added them into a side pony tail which i created next...


From the pony tail on the back lower side of her head i decided to add a pink heart ballie and then i created three more two strand rope twists which i ended with more pink flower clips :) I use rubber bands underneath the clips because the clips themselves can not hold in place any other way.


I love the popping effect of the rope twists versus the two strand twists :)

This is the first Valentine's style that we have done this year and to see some of what we have done in the past for Valentine's please reflect here and here for some awesome unique styles for your princess &lt;3

This style took about 35 minutes or so and stay tuned for a revamped version of it and a few more styles Valentines inspired.

God Bless.
