St. Patrick's Day Hairstyles 2012 LYGBC Style

Happy belated St. Patrick's Day <3 We've been consumed in many things lately and Im now beginning to catch up on blogging.  My husband and I have recently welcomed our newborn son Baby G into our family in April and ever since just before that we've been on overload.  So without further adue i will begin posting again from more of an inspirational stance for a while.

For St. Patricks Day i did 3 consecutive styles which i created from my own thoughts and ideas. The first one is super obvious and easy i just posted it to show the super cute pot of gold hair ties i got from target for 1.00 each :) Its a simple pony tail style where i split the hair in two and pony tailed the top half and then the bottom half separately. I opted for single braids from each pony and finger twirled her ends. I used Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave In which we have been experimenting with for some time now and is one of the newer products that has been added to our collection (Review Coming... Stay Tuned)... I used the KCKT as a slicker/hold product.

This style took all of 15 minutes to create and is one that can be altered into several varying styles over multiple days.

The second style i created was a 3 leaf clover and natural curls doo where i added a little festive flair to the style by creating a 3 leaf clover via triple heart shape parting and a joining single braid forming the stem. Originally i had no idea what i was wanting to do and i couldnt find much inspiration that was unique so i just let my hands go and i ended up with this...

The first thing i did was i began styling with my Diva's hair being wet and detangled alongside application of some of our usual products. I had found a mid point at the top of her head where i began parting the first heart shape. Then i parted two like heart shapes on the sides of the center heart at an angle so that it would come together like a clover when finished. I then rubberbanded each heart off individually and then hit a road block... What will i do with the end pieces?

I decided to go with the first idea in mind (which better ideas came there after) and i just gathered the three groupings and braided them together in one big braid which did end up forming a stem and i pony tailed it off.

After i formed the 3 leaf clover i decided to let the remainder of her hair hang free and concluded it with some scrunches of Kinky Curly. Below is a close up of the clover...

All in all this style took about 40 minutes (mostly due to the parting)... BUT it lasted very nicely for several days with minor touch ups.

Here is the third style which i decided to keep the in place clover in BUT i added some variation... I cornrowed the two front parts of her hair and the remaining loose hair from the previous style back into a pony tail which i also gathered the three groupings from the clover into.

Then i braided a big braid including all of the hair pulled back and adorned it with a few clover rings that we got from St. Patty's Day cup cakes at Kroger and a FAB St. Patty's Leprachaun bow that we got from Cute N Curly Bowtique.

This style is super cute and my fav of the three that i did, it got many raves at school as this was her school party style :) It took about 30 minutes to change this style up from the previous style. 

Hope you enjoyed our St. Patrick's Day styles and may these be inspirational for years to come <3

God Bless.

Today's Curlee Style: St. Patrick's Day

Here is Diva R's St. Patricks's day hair Style

The Four Leaf Clover with a flower and ribbon!

In preparation for this style i began it last night and i had freshly washed and conditioned her hair with the Bee Mine Botanical Shampoo and The Bee Mine Avacado Conditioner ( i am still currently reviewing these). (I don't discuss detangling much because i really don't have to detangle Diva R's hair :) Thank GOD! But when i do it is note worthy!) I followed that by squeeze drying her hair with my hands slightly and then letting it dry a little more by air the added the Bee Mine Luscious Balanced Cream Moisturizer from about 2/3 the way of her hair down to the ends.

I then used the Tangle Teezer to brush her hair and smoothing it out, along side of a wide tooth comb.
Then sectioned her hair into 4 even parts (like i was going to do 4 pig tails) rubber banded them, then put a trace amount of Curly Butter on the ends of her hair to lock in the moisture on her ends over night. I spritzed a bit of the bee mine Juicy Spritz and put her sleep bonnet on. Night night :)

This morning i noticed that all four of these rubber band had snapped during the night..... JUNK rubber bands that i used ( i had some of these "hair rubber bands" that everyone talks about that are not really rubber and either the products didn't like them or they were just junk... Luckily her hair stayed perfectly parted! YAY! That usually never happens.

I then re did the rubber bands with the good ones i use regularly and spritz a tiny bit of water to reactivate the moisturizers from last night followed by some Curly Butter on her hair hanging from the 4 ponies and began to split each pony in half so i had two groups of hair hanging from each pony. I braided with no tension, each set of two groups individually.

I then started at the top left pony tail with braids and flipped the braids upward into a heart shape and rubber banded them to stay put, i moved on to the top right and then to the bottom ponies ( at this point i realized that Diva R's hair wasn't long enough for this :/ So i stuck the HUGE flower in the middle of the newly formed four leaf clover, i then used a few Bobbie pins to secure the shape in place. 

The fun begins, i then took this ribbon that i bought from Hobby Lobby for $1.00 and just wrapped it around each "leaf" beginning from the base of the leaf by the flower then going outwards and back around. I tied the ribbon in 2 knots under the flower so it wouldn't unravel. and When i got finished doing them all to match i wrapped the remaining ribbon around her SHORT braid that i made under the flower that barely hung out to emulate a stem :)
And here is the final result :)

Hope you enjoyed our St Patty's day style :)
