With summer on the horizon (yay!!), we are getting ready to add lots of fun and summer hairstyles to our kiddos variety of braids and rubberband styles. Now that school is out, there are no rules when it comes to adding colorful hair extensions, color wax, and fun string styles to hair.

We’ll be hosting live trainings in the months of July and August on the following hairstyles for members of our amazing community, Mixed Kids Corner. Our group has currently emerged in the “Learn to Braid” challenge and there have been so many amazing milestones reached. Now it’s time to get fancy and have fun with some add-ons.

Fun with colored Hair Extensions

What a great way to spice up the summer! Adding coloring hairpieces is a great way to add color, but hair extensions are also a wonderful protective style. Did you know the hair extension actually protects curly hair when it’s used to braid over box braids and smaller 3-strand braids? It’s really amazing how much more my daughter’s curls retain moisture when I use extensions. There’s also so much less breakage, damage, and fly-aways when using hair extensions.

You definitely have options when it comes to purchasing hair. There are extensions with clips (which can be easily hidden under hair) or choose the extensions that get braided into the hair so there’s no worrying about hiding the clip. Then there are clip-in braids – so simple to add flair to a style!

Here are some of the products we will be using in our upcoming training:
