With that in mind, I've decided to start a weekly "sunday style" post to highlight mine & Paisley's hair-do's & outfits. I am always on the hunt for new hairstyles for both of us & I love seeing the way other people achieve big "pentecostal" hair, so I'm going to share my limited knowledge of all things hair!
Let's get started!
Paisley has naturally curly/wavy hair & so her hair is easy, most of the time. She likes to wear it down & it takes a lot of product & time to get the curls just right. I saw a tutorial on maskcara's blog {here} for no-heat waves & I adapted it to what I thought would work best for Paisley's hair.
texturizing/beach spray {I like Not Your Mother's, Beach Babe Texturizing Sea Salt Spray}
small bobby pins {like these}
hairspray {my favorite}
I start with fresh washed hair & I try to get it pinned up while it's still wet. I always use leave-in conditioner in her hair to comb it out & I also put some curl cream {this one} to keep her curls a little under control.

I part her hair in the front how I want it to fall the next day. Then, spray all over with the texturizing spray. Next, take about a 1" section {larger for looser waves & smaller for tighter curls} & comb through to remove any tangles.
Then, twist all the way down. Again, twist tighter for tighter curls. I keep Paisley's pretty tight because I use the beach spray to loosen them up. I twist each pin curl into a small bun & bobby pin it at the base.
I start from the front & work my way back, but if I were doing this on myself, I would probably start from the back & work forwards.
After I finish, I spray all over with hairspray. She says they don't bother her at all when she goes to bed {& she is pretty particular}
This is what it looks like when I start taking them out the next morning. Try not get them knotted up & to not mess with them too much. They tend to frizz if I keep messing with the curls. As I take out the pins, I spray the beach/texturizing spray every few curls to loosen up the curls & make them more relaxed & wavy. After you spray, scrunch them up a bit to add texture.
After I spray it with texturizer, I lightly tug on them & fluff here & there to make the curls even & uniform all over.
Sometimes I bobby pin the top part back, but this week I just added a headband & set with hairspray. Isn't she precious? She seemed so grown up on Sunday, it makes my heart hurt. It goes by so quickly, cherish each moment!
