Hello everyone welcome back to my channel. So this is an update on Syd's Bantu knot hairstyle. I decided to retwist the knots to they can dry fully on her newly relaxed hair. The curls came out so full bouncy and curly. But she absolutely hated the hairstyle. Thx for watching. Please like comment and subscribe!

Hello, everyone welcome back to my channel and, as you see from the title, it got really real, but here's the updated version of the Bantu Knots I'm just going to retwist them and and go from there. So as you can see, uh Sydney's hair is fully dry. This is how I wanted her hair to be when um. I first did her hair. I wanted it to be fully dry, but now it's dry but the curls were loose and I wanted them to look like very curly, very bouncy and flowy um. So it's the next day and I'm just going to wrap her hair dry, like I stated so many times, but I'm wrapping re-wrapping her hair and I'm using those hair pins and I've decided that I only want to do like the crown area of her hair because Sydney'S she's, just so sensitive everything I do is just it hurts her and then it does really hurt with bantu knots. If you ever had bantu knots, you know those things can hurt if you wrap them too tight, so I'm trying not to wrap them as tight, but I still want them to have a good curl to it. So that's why I'm adding the hair pins and she like when you wrap it and you get to the end and you kind of want to tuck the ends under. That'S the part that really hurts her. So I'm trying not to hurt her, but you know it's in it's Sydney. So it's going to happen, but you know I still try to do my best not to allow it to happen, but um I'm going to put a hairpin on just to secure the knot and I decided not to wrap the two sides of it which in hindsight I should have done, but I want to protect her edges at all costs, so I just let them out um. I left them alone and I decided to add the leave-in conditioner from Carol's Daughter, because I kind of wanted to reactivate the products that were already in her hair instead of adding more products, because that will take us back to the drawing board. And that was her. Hair was not completely dry, so I wanted to avoid that. So I just add a little bit of leave-in, conditioner and um that helped, and I know I could have added a little water, but I didn't want to take chances with water at all. Okay, because I know sometimes products they dry up faster than water. Does that makes sense to you or let me know if you know what I'm talking about so I'm to the front of wrapping her hair and I'll. Just let you guys watch this part um and then, after that I put on a satin bonnet um. That is actually my aunt carries and somehow it ended up at my house, but thanks girl, um yeah, and I just want to say thank you to my um subscribers that have been with me forever from my day, one on this journey from natural hair to Sydney's. Now relaxed hair, thank you for your support and I've gained a lot of new subscribers. Thank you for being here. Welcome to our family. We have fun. We talk to each other. We um give suggestions. Positivity cool Vibes is all welcome here, even constructive criticism, and I just thank you for subscribing and joining our our family. So if you haven't subscribed yet go ahead and subscribe hit that notification Bell, so you can maybe receive notifications when I post a new video, Maybe so we're all finished now it's time to put the silk cap on and she's gon na go to bed and get Ready for school tomorrow and this kind of hurt her, so I have to be really careful, so it's the next day, it's the next day now and she's kind of upset. It hurts to the touch. You know I'm invading her space. She likes to do her thing in the morning. I usually do her hair at night, so it kind of hurts The Hairpin, so I'm taking them out really gently and the process of unraveling this. These bantu knots are just painful for her and the fact that I'm unraveling them and then trying to take pieces of each section and um finger coil them in a different direction, so the curls can be nice and uniform and cute. It was painful for Sydney. Okay, so this experience was like girl, hurry up and get me out of here: I'm ready to go to school, okay, she's like wincing and everything, but I'm excited as I take these bantu knots out, because the curls are beautiful. I cannot wait to do this on my hair, because Sydney did not appreciate these things at all. She didn't appreciate the curls, the bouncy, the flowy, the tightness of the curls, and she didn't understand that the curls will fall. You know they will elongate as the days go by and even in Texas within the hour. Okay. She didn't understand that so I'm unraveling them and the more that I do it. The more that I said to myself. I should have retwisted the entire head, because this has given me life. Okay, the curls are beautiful, so I'm just taking each section and I'm just um doing individual sections within the section and I'm making sure the curls are cute and laying the way that I want them to lay and you just have to like kind of finger coil. Each Strand, and then you guys, suggested maybe she'll just like the Bantu Knots at the top. No, she looked at it and said: no, you cannot ask any questions when she's upset, because the answer will be no. Unless you say you want to go to Starbucks, you want Chick-fil-A, or do you want to go to crumble, cookies, she'll say yes to those things, but any questions about her hair. It said no well she's upset. Everything is a no except for things. You know. Food are going somewhere so to the trampoline part, so she's, looking at her hair, she's saying no Mom. No, no and I'm like no, what they're the curls are going to fall. She was like what is this no Mom? No, I'm like this is beautiful. Your hair is beautiful, the curls are going to drop, don't you know how many people want their hair to look like this and she's like no it's ugly and then she starts breaking down like the final look, because I guess she waited for the final. She thought something different was gon na happen once I got to that last band, two knot and she turned around and tears just start falling honey. She was like no ma, I hate my hair, I hate it. I hate it. I can't go to school like this and then I'm like just shake it. You know play with it, you know and she was not having it y'all. She said she did not want to go to school. I can't go to school like this. Why did you do this to my hair and then I'm trying to find a way? Maybe I should pin it back and she's like no and I'm like you look good. She looks so good y'all, but she wasn't having it and then this is her coming home from school turn around. I thought she looked like a nice little church girl that walked on Selma across the Selma Bridge, but she didn't understand that. But I thank you guys for watching have a great day. How was school, though, did you survive? You didn't? This? Is somebody else's body walking through the door body? Okay,
Comments
Me Me: Ask her how she wants her hair styled and if it is age appropriate, please style it the way she wants it. It’s stressful when you have to wear your hair in a style you hate.
Collette Hicks: When I was Sydney’s age I would leave for school wearing the style my mother created, then head straight for the school bathroom to do the style I wanted. After school, I’d return my hair to some version of what my mom did and she never knew the difference, or just chose not to question me. I wish the both of you the best on this journey.
J W: Okay.....I"m just going to say it.....Sydney's a beautiful child, a child in 2022. Mad respect for mom keeping at it, but I would cry too if you teleported me back to 1965 and then sent me to grade school! I have no doubt that you two will get this figured out :)
Donna Smith: Parenting is not easy… and neither is being a young girl!! Her hair is so beautiful !!
Ruthie's vlog World: To whoever is reading this comment ,keep going, you're doing fine! No matter how slow your progress, each new week is filled with tiny steps forward. Be proud of yourself you got this.❤Amen
Charlesa Patterson: Poor sydney...I feel so so bad for her. You should ask her how she would like her hair. A bad hair day will mess with a kid's confidence. I bet you wouldn't wear your hair all over your head like that with those smashed up curls.
Redd, Ro.: I know how she feel. My mom used to style my hair like a old lady. I was so glad when I was able to comb my own hair.
Hikama.: When my daughter was this age I literally KEPT her in protective braids. From 6 grade to 12th grade. That’s what she wanted. Cause ain’t no way imma be dealing with a child breaking down cause of some hair. I installed some micro locs just before she started college and thank God she happy with them
Miracles377: Aww Syd. I remember those days. My mother would curl my hair to the back (late 80s early 90s). It was cute for her but not me . As I got older I would pull it in a ponytail with bangs. If the curls don’t turn out nice pull them into a lose bun(s) with a bang (or not). If the bang isn’t cute just twist it and pin it.
ToriOfTheNile: I suggest doing styles ur daughter asks for. She’s definitely old enough to have hairstyle preferences. Kids can be pretty mean, it’s so anxiety inducing when you go to school with a style you don’t like, or a style you suspect other kids will ridicule you for. Pls believe me, she’ll appreciate having a say in how she looks. Kids are much more self conscious than most adults think.
bweezy2187: As an adult with natural hair, I love this style! However watching this video and the last one took me back to 5th grade me who had relaxed hair and Shirley temple curls that I didn’t really like. Your excitement tickled me so much but Sydney was like this is not it
Lady T: To make it easier for you and Sydney — like someone else suggested in the comments — ask her how she wants her hair to be styled and everybody will be happy. It is hard finding that balance with your kids, but you’re doing a great job. Big UPS to you. ✌
Brittany Young: When you said you thought she looked like a church girl crossing the Selma bridge...LOL! I cracked up! Too cute! Her curls were SO precious! The black mother/daughter relationship is such a dance, especially when it comes to hair. Love all of your videos. Looking forward to more!
Daniela Pearson: Those Bantu knots are absolutely beautiful!!!! That will allow her hair to grow more and get settled. The kids at school are going to ask their moms if you can do their hair too.
M.Natasha: Awww she rocked those curls❤ Sydney is extremely tender headed like I was growing up, I got styles i liked and still cried that sensitive scalp is no joke. I hope little cutie develops a tolerance for that type of pain ❤
GritsN Wavy: Baby girl is sick of you!!!! Sydney, Stay strong my thick hair sister ✊
Jasmine Carter: I love how your main concern is babygirl’s comfort. When I do Bantu knots I always use rubber bands instead of Bobbi pins cause they do hurt. The hair came out bomb as ever! The other thing is if my hair doesn’t come out the way I want I always use a banana clip or a high puff can never go wrong with those but you’re doing such an amazing job
T Harris: This just makes me so sad. There was what mom wanted/liked/loved for herself and what daughter lived through... Poor Syd
Ashley: This took me back I was starting middle school and my mama did a roller set on me the night before my first day. She took them down the next morning and I absolutely hated it!!! She kept saying “The curls will fall” and they absolutely did not. I was teased so badly. Not only was I the tallest and largest girl in my grade (and I think maybe even the whole school)…but I looked like somebody transported me from the 40’s on Easter Sunday. So I get her pain. I really do.
KitCoWool: Aww Syd! She’s gonna find her signature style that she loves soon!
Because_I_Have_To: Oh yeah, after watching 22nd Century Hair (I believe that is still the name) here on YouTube, I started doing loose (away from the scalp) bantu knots on my baby. We were doing it for deep conditioning ease and not styling but still might be some reduced tension relief nuggets in her content. It helped me.
JustJas: This reminds of the days I used to get my hair pressed by an old lady. I hated how she’d style my hair after it was done so she’d let me go to the bathroom and style it how I want and she’d put the finishing touches on it afterwards
Pretty and Purposed: I think it's beautiful that Sydney knows what she likes and doesn't like. I also believe that we should listen to our kids when they vocalize when they dislike something and not try to convince them otherwise. Her bantu knots were so cute and you both are learning right now. Those curls came out amazing. I'd love to see you try the two bangs (middle part ) and curly high ponytail! That would be a perfect way to style them also child appropriate. Good luck to a great mom!
Caitlin Helen: I’ve been way your channel off and on and I can’t believe how much Sydney has grown! Also I’m not sure if you’ve tried this already but get a tangle teaser for her. Section the hair off in to small parts, apply water and conditioner as you go, start from the very bottom of the hair and work your way up with the tangle teaser. I used to be super tender headed like Sydney but buying a tangle teaser and using the right technique gets me excited to do my hair! With the way her hair’a been relaxed, I thing the tangle teaser will glide through her hair
POP CORN: I feel her pain. My daughter was the same exact way and it would take me an entire day to do her hair because I wanted to be as gentle as possible. I use to cry with my baby . She’s beautiful. God bless you both.
KeiraB.: Aww Syd I know the feeling I used to be like that too til I got old enough to do my own lol. I'd rather hurt myself than someone else hurting me. The curls did come out good tho
Tanisha A'niece: I love watching yall videos! I wanna start recording my hair day with my daughter! But maybe some flex rods can give the look your going for but get the smaller sizes with that same parts your using... but you gon have to comb the hair out so the curls form correctly
Ace H: Hey I’ve seen a few of your videos, and I love how your trying to care for your daughter’s sensitivity. I’m dealing with some health issues that are causing my scalp, among other things, to be hypersensitive to even the slightest bit of tension (even a loose ponytail). A few things that I’ve been able to do are two strand twists, two flat twists going along each side(like cornrolls but twists instead) and pulling them out with my fingers to loosen them up a bit, and pin curls (as loose or snug as you want for the curl). You could try your own variations of these styles. The pin curls are soooo easy, and I think you and Sydney would both like the process much better then the Bantu knots. Best of luck. As I try more things, I’ll also try to share. Blessings to you both ❤
Jernice C.: She still has a lot of texture, so I think you can still achieve braid outs to elongate the hair when she wears it out. I would just braid it loosely at the root and tighter towards the end to minimize frizz.
Ashley Holley: Her sweater is so cute! Her hair looks so healthy. Great job on her hair!
K T: Girl, that hair style is for seasoned ladies.
Ossie R: My mom was pretty rough with my hair so I hated getting mine done too and sometimes my grandma would press mine and a couple of burns. I understand.
70tyms7 M: Your daughter is so beautiful - her eyes when she smiles is the best! I remember the fear and stress just thinking about wash day when I was little. Seeing Sydney upset brings back all those memories. I know you know that the internet is forever and I would hate for anyone to use your child’s pain for views or even bring it up against her at a later time. Please rethink putting her trauma on display. Let her enjoy her innocence❤. Maybe show some hairstyles she enjoys AFTER you do them? All the best
Bumblebee: Bantu knots are very uncomfortable to sleep in, & I'm not tender headed. I cannot imagine how she feels sleeping in them.
NAzikiwe: She'll get over it. I remember when I was a kid my mom would do these dookie braids with one unicorn one in the front. Lol. I hated it but had no choice. You tried mom! It's not easy! My mom was good at cornrows so as a pre-teen she'd let us choose a style so I recommend that. Just don't do them tight like my African mom!
youknowyoulikeit1000: I remember being this age and not liking my hair. One day I just asked if I could do my own hair and surprisingly my mom said yes and that was the end of that. She got the products and I did my styles. Hopefully she will be able to do her own hair soon.
Catherine Benson: It’s beautiful, once her peers start liking it she’ll change her mind.
TAKA YTS: Braidouts on dry hair probably would be the easiest, cutest, no fuss hairstyle for her.
Barbara Clarke: I'm dying to know how Syd wants her hair. She is so pretty and has amazing hair. When she makes her in pain faces I just want to hug her. She has a lot of patience with you mom. I thought when she came home from school it looked perfect.
Autrela Prime: I can totally relate I used to be like that when my mom used to “bump my ends”
amor amor: You are such a patient & nurturing mother ❤ the way you know daughter and take care of her is a very beautiful experience and i appreciate your videos because your authentic and raw im pretty sure there are other parents that go through this and we are all here working through this journey. Trial & error i appreciate your videos soo much Subscribed ☑️
♏️ĐaScorpïon Bellezą🦂: My daughter has very fine hair, but she too is very tender headed. What I do, is 2 strand twists and roll the ends with sponge rollers with a white hair sheet over the roller before rolling the hair. It comes out beautiful and lasts for a week. Try it with your baby
AndriaNycole: I know exactly how she feels. I wanted twists in the front and Shirley Temples in the back. My aunt did it and I hated it. I did not give the curls a chance to drop like she said. I washed it out. She knew I was picky and said she wouldn't do my hair again. I am an adult now and she always ask to do my hair. ❤️
Emme29: Aww!! It really was cute! You'll find something that works for her. Sending peace and hugs for you both. It's challenging we can tell, but you're gonna get over this hill.
Andrea Wallace: Sydney is my baby, through and through! She is adamant about not getting a relaxer, so we are still struggling with a sensitive scalp and natural hair. I love your videos! You’re doing a great job with Sydney’s hair
SimplyMe: Have you tried the good ole wrap so her hair doesn't need alot of morning manipulation? Keeping it real.mom, tight coils are kind of "vintage" for a lil chic. Try to finger fluff those curls and a headband = soft flowy puff. Aka envy
S. Nicole: Awwe I was once your daughter lol,my mother use to experiment with my hair and some styles I liked and then there were those "questionable " ones I didn't want to get teased but unfortunately had days where I had to just ignore and keep it pushing until I got home to put my hair back to my liking. She'll eventually find her own style that she'll just love She's soo cute looking like you,and she reminds me of my niece,those cheeks
Judy Walker: Awww I just want to give her a hug Her hair looked so cute though
Taylor jay: She might have a sensory issue with her head, that’s the only thing I can think of because taking down Bantu Knotts is more relaxing than putting them in. I think it might be more of that than regular tenderness. I go through the same thing when I have a sensory overload and don’t want anything touching my head or back
judi Blue: No disrespect hun I feel that babies pain you'll never beleive I'm 57 and still just as tender headed as I wanna be if you look like you coming to do my hair I'm crying prayers to you and your little girl.
Kimberly Joy: awww... she's such a doll! I think anything that she can sleep comfortably in & shake will make her smile. Like medium block braids/twists (then she can manipulate these styles herself by wearing up or down)
Ahmayzing Vybez: Try looking for various styles in magazines or on YouTube with her to see what she may like. Also I think if you try to turn her hair into a Bantu knot out Mohawk (sides brushed up and pinned, or twists on the side with multi color rubber bands) maybe she would like it. I encourage you to think about kid friendly styles. The style is cute, but from more of an adult perspective.
Quiet Storm aka Heaven: She's tender headed like me, I feel her pain so at her age my mother taught me to do my own hair
Kej: You’re awesome for actually doing her hair. My little sister is natural with long kinky hair and I keep it braided because how time consuming actual styles can be.
BranBranShenanigans: It hurt my soul to see her cry. She is such a beautiful little girl.
rese252: Hey Love, try two stranding the hair 1st then Bantu. When I was natural that’s how I did mine with Elasta QP mango butter moisturizer and the curls turned out awesome!
BelCedilia: Don't mind her she looked adorable
datgirldannie: Syd is done putting up with our shenanigans, but I appreciate you documenting this leg of her hair journey!
Sharon K: I've watched you try everything with her hair, cut most of it and left the top, cut all of it, texturize it, relax it. For my tender headed girl, she got her last relaxer 3 1/2 years ago. I kept it in plaits/braids while she transitioned. I wash it in the plaits and redo them one at a time. Her hair is over 20 inches long now and all the relaxer is gone. She adds leave in conditioner and oil 2 or 3 times a week. I'm doing the same with my other daughter now. Makes life easier, for us anyway.
Lisa Jones: Hey Sydney and mom hair looks so beautiful
Lois Jackson: I went through it with my Granddaughter just be patient look at hair styles together maybe that will help out . I pray for you and your daughter hopefully things get easy cause doing girls hair especially when there tender headed and very thick beautiful hair ❤️
Mark Mcgee: When I was young and I didn’t like my hair I would cry just like that if I didn’t like my hair I know how she feel. She has really thick long hair. She was excited for straight hair after the relaxer which came out really nice at first I feel like you should of did a circle wrap over night or under a drier every night. You have to train natural hair and also it’s getting dry from that relaxer you should try and oil her scalp 2-3 times a week or that relaxer will ruin her beautiful hair of hers.
Tay RioBravo: I understand her, it’s hard being in grade school. Maybe if they were in a top knot with the back down or two space buns ? I have an extremely tender headed and emotional girl myself . I’ve used mouse ( pattern and tgin ) works great for hold and shine .
Nerine Edwards: Your daughter is so pretty.i preferred her natural hair though.
A J: I think you may need to use flexi rods with foam to give her spiral curls they will last longer I think Bantu knots will not work on relaxed hair because it won’t hold the curl… try flexi rods I stead
Antoinette: Girl your to ambitious with her hair. She is young so hopefully it would get better but for now braids with beads would be a good choice for you both
Rós Gerich: Attention Mom! I'd recommend finding a natural numbing spray so you can properly do her hair. There are a few available that may just help your baby girl. Best wishes on your journey.
Psalms Deshae: Me when my mom used to bump my ends
Danny Boy 🥰: I used hair relaxers before and I hated it… it damaged my hair… I thought it would give me wavy hair… and it did but it was very frizzy and dry… chopped my hair off and grew it again.. left it curly as it was
Baybiedoll35: I'm curious as to how Sydney will do her own hair as an adult. I'm truly hoping I'm able to see what she'll be like with her hair.
RoxxiRay: Her hair is beautiful, I love those curls Makes me want them
White Diamond: I understand how baby girl feels. Why she don't wear ponytails? Why she can't wear braids? Those hairstyles are for grown women or older girls. She needs to wear hairstyles according to her age. Kids may be teasing her at school. You know how to style hair at her age level. You do good work.
Mary Wilson: Yeah being that she's that tender-headed I definitely wouldn't do the bantu's anymore. All the wrapping and tucking and bobby pins and then she had to lay on it to sleep it just made her head sore plus already being tender-headed. Even with the perm I would still do her hair and in cornrows, jumbo braids, ponytails. Something that could be left up and not touched for days or weeks.
CAcutie1978: I wish Sydney the best. Even as a grown woman, I become so frustrated with my hair and I don't have nearly as much hair as she does. I'm ready to do the big chop again...I just tired.
Melanie Graham: I have a bit of a suggestion, since her hair is already relaxed I would say you should probably blow it out with cool air just to get the hair less wet so you don’t have to worry about the drying process too much later Then once you’re ready to do the Bantu knots Part her hair down the middle and use some of the lotta body foam on each section and do about up to 4 to 6 knots on each side of her head and it will give you more of a wavy blowout look instead of big bouncy curls
Mary Lovett: Loving your daughter and you. You are amazing mom.
Ivy Booth: It looks great reminds of my daughter never thinks her hair is nice when I do it
I Am Michelle4Life🍷: You should have her give you some hairstyle’s that she likes.. I’m telling at this age they are growing up on us and be wanting what they see other kids their age be having ♀️
Paris Taylor: I had long, thick hair when I was her age and a mother that loved to do hair. I ended up shaving my head in 6th grade and I have been bald headed since then! My heart goes out to yall!
MieshaRenea: I mean absolutely no disrespect, but you're over manipulating her hair and I'd recommend a dermatologist just to rule out any other issues that may be contributing to her overly sensitive Scalp. You do very well with her hair and I just think in my professional opinion a visit to a trichologist or dermatologist may help you get some answers and direction.
thefutureismine: Awww I remember those days as a young girl. I swear my mom would curl my hair up to my ears .
Georgette Nsuki Mulayi: You are just damaging her hair. You relaxed it, now overmanipulating it. It gonna break. Bad choice. You could have loc her hair ♀️. Straigth hair doesnt mean beautiful and easy to manage. Her hair looks so dry now
Tierra Cuff: Girl, you are not alone. Me and my girls have went through this for years until they could do there own hair. I only thing that helped would be for us to look at Pinterest pics before to get an idea of what they want their hair to look like. If I know that I can’t do it then I tell them that we will need to schedule an appointment with a stylist and that will delay the slay, lol!!
Maco: I truly needed this laugh for the day. Sid's so cute!
G Rose: You should teach her how to do her own hair.... Maybe look up some hair styles that she would like to wear, then show her how to do it and let her help along with the process. I bet your bonding time will increase greatly!
AKIYIAKELLY: Just give her some braids, twist or crochet. Something that will just stay in for about 1month.
Sisima13: Since she’s tender headed, why not just do simple styles like ponytail or a bun? or maybe if Sid has some ideas of her own ☺️ ? When my mom would do my hair like this and I would see how SHORT it looked I would also be like Nope….I look like an old grandma .
Kiawona Boston: Awww Syd!!! It looked really cute on her!!
Myra Lee: Syndeys hair was beautiful, she's just young I did the same thing. I would cry unless I had one ponytail everyday. It's her age, not the style.
strawberryvines: Bantu knots in the front & crochet curls in the back was my go to for my daughters hair lol Id try crochet styles on her..save you time as well...She trusted the process
C Grace: aww Love your hair Syd You are always beautiful.
Sashinova: Awww ☹☹☹ i can't imagine being that tender headed. I hope you both get to find a solution for her hair soon! Have you ever considered locs or microlocs (for more versatile styles) as an option for her? Her hair is a perfect pattern for it and I dont doubt she'd look beautiful with them and I heard its a great option for tender headed kids. Either way, I hope a solution comes up for you both very soon, I feel it my knees when I see her tears .
Gwendolyn Clyne: I think another option for curls without the “poof” would have been 2 or four flat twist in the direction you want the hair to lay.
ALY: not a nice church girl from Selma. Watching this did take me back to when my mama would say “let me just bump the ends” and would have me walking around looking like a mushroom. I used to hate it
Joy B: Aww ❤️ she looked cute coming home though
Shante Fraguela: Try braid outs with curlers at the ends. Braids are comfortable to sleep in and you don't need to braid too tight to get definition. Bantu knots are too uncomfortable especially with bobby pins.
Blessing: Aww Sydney, this hairstyle isn’t for children. You sent her to school looking like it’s her first day at work. Maybe ask her how she wants it to be styled. You’re doing a great job and care more than most about your child’s hair. Keep going and thank you for sharing
Regina Davis: You've done your very best. It may be time to allow a professional stylist to take over. Both you and your daughter should find a professional stylist you both like. Allow a liscence professional to pamper you both.
FromThat ToThis: omgoodness my daughter 8 is so tenderheaded,and acts just like your baby. I would love to do pretty curls,bantu knots etc. and. she is mixed,but she will cry her eyes out at one curl lol. she has braids right now, at least I curled the ends of those. Bless it be my sister,I miss the beautiful bows and berets too,my baby not having it!
TheSunshineGirl_13: You can try flexi rollers on misted hair and a creme based hold product. I've used Aunt jackies curl la la custard with good results. Some friends with thicker hair have liked this style as well. At night use a net and bonnet or pin curls in place for bedtime for the week
