Tweens and teens often find themselves somewhere between wanting to fit in and wanting to confidently embrace their own identities. So what happens when that naturally curly head of hair is suddenly too old for bows and barrettes, but not yet in need of professional adult styles? Step away from the relaxers and join us as we explore natural hairstyles that find the balance between individuality and the desire to fit in.

Curlformers Style for a Wedding
Syd and I went to a friend's wedding the other day, and Syd wanted something "pretty." So we just did a basic Curlformer set. I own 46 Curlformers and we used every single one of them on her hair. I would have used more if I had them. I like the curls look when using smaller amounts of hair in each Curlformer.
Last time I used the Curlformers was before Syd's hair was before her haircut and I had to twist the part of her hair closest to her scalp because her hair was too long to fit into the Curlformers. This time, there was only an inch or two that didn't fit, and the Curlformer weighed it down enough to make it all work.
When we removed the Curlformers, we added a headband with a big flower, but apparently I only took a picture BEFORE we added accessories. Oops!
To preserve the curls overnight, we pull her hair into a loose ponytail on the top of her head (also known as pineappling) and she sleeps on her satin pillowcase.
