I love all the hairstyles but are those beads sore at night?? I got my hair done like that when I was really little but I can't remember anyway good job :)
@guineapiglove444 - personal preference. I just didn't like the way the turned out. They look better in the pictures than in real life and I didn't like the way the felt, or the way they tangled up over time etc.
@lebriae - no, B is 2 years older than V. People think they are twins or can't tell who is older all the time. Poor B. She is taller than V, but not by much. If you knew their personalities, you would know that B is older :)
You won't have to worry about it for B, because of her locs, but doing the "latch hook" thing is actually easier if you use a crochet hook. It is a nice way to get two or three looks out of a single set of cornrows. Look it up and see what you think.
There's a pic I noticed in another persons video "hairandbeautydirect black and mixed race children.." She took a pic from your slide and ur daughter and added to hers!
You do such a great job! I am a black mother and am not a very good braider but my sister is. Watching your videos has taught and helped me alot! Thanks for these!!
Wow her hair looks so great!! I'm trying to learn how to do that with my daughter right now lol. I'm trying to figure out how to do her hair though cause my daughter doesn't have the kinky hair that bi-racial kids get her hair is just curly and soft lol. So when I do put braids in it they are out the same day. Her hair is really fine. Do you have any suggestions to products that I could use in her hair?
You do a fantastic job! The more u braid it the longer it will get too. My daughter lost all her hair @ 6 months and now its down to her neck and she is 5. Keep up the great work.
Oh snap, you're white ? OMG . I thought that was a Black Mama doing these cute hair styles on their little girls , well damn, you go girl, pretty damn good. I LOVE IT . I wish i could corn row, though i dont have any little girls only a boy. I wish i could learn how to do this on my own hair, Does anyone know if it's possible to do these kind of styles on your own hair or does someone else have to do it for you ?
You have created some amazing styles. Kudos to you for learning how to work with African American hair without adding chemicals. Your girls are gorgeous and you have done an awesome job with their hair. Keep up the great work.
@KiwiMangoHusband - no, I think the way I cornrow actually prevents the hair from being pulled to tight. I think the reason so much scalp shows on B is just because she has extremely fine hair and it isn't that thick.
@Katelynylyn Scalpiness is one of my problems with my own hair. I look at other girls with thick heads of hair and I'm like, no fair lol. Your daughters are just so cute, and you are doing such an amazing job with their hair, wanna do mine? lol jk.
You did a wonderful job, i loved all the style you showed, loved it. what shampoo, and Conditioner you use on your daughters hair.There hair looks so healthy.
i'm sorry...but i am in shock and awe that you know how to do this...i am soooo not prejudiced...i love all races, and have friends of different ethnic backgrounds..but I have never seen a white person or any other race other than black be able to do this...i am proud of you..lol....i will be trying these on my daughter..that is the reason i always wanted one, to do her hair...a real-life doll baby...anyways..i hope you see this as a compliment...God bless you and your family...
@RosieBear1203 - yes I have a tutorial on the veil style - click up at the top where it says Katelynylyn in blue and it will take you to my channel page. Scroll through all of my videos and you will find it near the bottom!
I love the fact that you have take the approach to keep your baby's hair...it's amazing how someone of a different ethnicity has enough respect for her baby's hair to keep it as is...as a young girl my mother relaxed my hair and at age 20 i find myself having to start over at 19 to achieve natural hair again!!! Kudos to you for taking the effort to learning how to do little black girls hair instead of taking the easy aproach and slapping a relaxer in it...thank you for keeping her heritage!!
@JamaicanCutie18 well thanks for your concern with my comment that was not directed towards you....if you look at the comments previously, you would realize that the comment you see above is part 2 to another comment I wrote earlier ( i ran out of space for writing the rest) commending her on taking initiative to learn how to braid her adopted daughter's hair and learn hair care for someone that doesn't have hair like hers...sooooooo yea, thanks for your negative comment!:)
Katie I love the videos of the hair journeys. For one thing, they give me such inspiration as to what I could possibly do, and for another, it gets me so excited to be able to do my baby girls hair someday. If only she would sit still now, but really I'm lucky if I can do just a bit of finger coils in the front of her hair since she's a busy 12 month old. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
i love what your doing with the girls hair, it growing sooo much!! (i wish my hair grew like that!) lol. But i must give you this tip. The braidlocks: good idea, but they are way too small when they start to get really long they'll get heavy and pop. Im not saying its going to happen, just telling you as a precaution!! over time you may want to combine the smaller ones. =]
I must applaud you sister for showing your love for these babies through how you care for them. For all the negative comments you receive just pray for them because hurting, insecure people don't like to see others free from bondage and doing something positive. So I want to tell you thank you as Christian first and African American woman second for taking care of two precious babies sent from God. God bless you and continue being the awesome example to other women.
If you need a tool to apply beads try thehairbeadslyder , that's also the name of the site. Good Luck :) beautiful styles here. The tool is not expensive and very durable.
I ended up in tears when this vid was done. Beautiful human beings sharing a wonderful journey. Great hair. Vids were awesomely helpful to me as well :-) Oh gawd, I'm tearing up again lol...
I was just wondering, are your children Adopted ? I was adopted, and My mother who is white only knew how to do really one style. She would braid in weave with the box braids, and she would add the beads at the end, and I would like to show her these styles so she could try on my younger sister -
Her Braidlocs look awesome. I have been sisterlocked for 3 years now and I truly love my journey. I think it's the best thing I ever could have done. Thanks for sharing. If you ever get a chance I would love to see B's progress with the braidlocs. It's almost a year!
Just put her hair into a bunch of tiny braids and left that way permanently! About once every 6 weeks we tighten them with a latch hook which keeps them looking nice.
wow! i'm blown away. i'm more than blown away actually. this is too beautiful. i wished u would have continued with this journey though instead of giving her the locks - you have some beautiful style ideas! but i still love it anyway! God bless you!
Its fantastic you want your girl to look fantastic all the time with her hair! I try to do the same with my daughters hair! I dont know what braid locks are though!
Now I really have some hair ideas I braid my daughter's hair and my sons so I want to be able to have some very cute styles that my son can rock too. I'm doing some of these on my son but instead of barretes I'm going to use beads if I have to if not I'll just let it be plain :)
Aww! Her hair is gorgeous! It just saddens me that if she wanted her hair unlocked she would have to cut it. If locks were not forever I would probably them.
hello, im learning to corn braid but cant get the hang of it, ive been doing loose braid on my daughters hair, when i try to corn braid i start fine until going down and need to pick up hair, and advice, also how long did it take you to learn, you do a beautiful job on your daughter's hair, wonderful job.
hey. im looking to adopt. but finances are low and these people are taking forever just to send me a simple letter (and we are in the same county). so, was the process easy for you? were the costs low? what state? thanks.
yeah cuz its more dangerous to post a name than a FACE. either way the woman is clearly talented. i've been braiding since i was 7 and my cornrows dnt come out half as pretty.
Phenomenal work! I'm totally inspired to do my girls hair for this school year. I have 3 daughters (7/5/5) and I did not look forward to doing their hair because my cornrow technique took too long and I didn't have many style ideas.
I look forward to seeing more videos - could you show how to part the hair for cornrows into pigtails style. How long does it take you to do a style? It took me 1 1/2 hours just to do cornrows into ponytail (and my girls are patient like yours.)
Pretty much every style I do takes 3 or 4 hours. I have one style that is like 8 large cornrows and that takes about 2 hours, but everything else is at least 3. And of course extensions are even longer!!
It depends on the length of hair. V has REALLY long hair now so it takes forever to comb and then really long to braid just due to length. But, I think I am a bit slow, and I take a long time to put in parts because I am a perfectionist :)
i love the fact that even though your white and have black kids you didnt let them run around looking crazy you kept their heritage and thats beautiful i see it all the time even white women that have bi racial kids they dont know what the hell to do with their hair and the fact that you was like im gona keep them looking tight and practice until i get it i admire that hell im black and know black women that dont take pride into their kids hair like that i do though i love to do my daughter hair
@prettyeyez301 I agree and its all races in my opinion it took me awhile to learn how to braid cornrows,but I always kept my daughter shair combed not flying everywhere some moms just are lazy take PRIDE In your kids its G-ds blessing to you!have a magical one ºoº
Man I need to start braiding styles like now i am so impressed, I mean seriously impressed you go girl. you know the crazy part is I didn't know you were not the same race until I went to your page. I was like now I know I need to get it popping on these styles for my daughter. I know how to braid its just styles and parting kill me. Not to mention taking it down. I had to laugh when I saw the 1 style you said you said you would never do I totally understand. Awesome Job
Truly a blessing for you baby girls. What a woman to keep their culture so alive and vibrant. More women need to see this because there's still little girls runnin around looking a hot mess b/c their moms don't want to do their hair while THEIR'S is done! Keep it comin Katelynlyn
ok I watch your videos all the time over and over again can you please put up a video of showing youtube how to do that swirl thing in your hair or can you put a video up about doing letters in peoples hair pleeeeeeease your a hero thanks so muxch if you do.
Wow. Just wow. I am in awe. I first saw you vid on how to add beads. Way easier than I thought! Then I looked at the yarn braiding tutorial and just tried it earlier this week. I'm very impressed with my first try! I'll do much better the next time. Please elaborate on coconut oil. I have some in my pantry for cooking. It's pretty expensive. Do you use a particular brand or type and do you mix it with anything?
the styles are beautiful...i really love the cornrow styles a little better thatn the braidlocs though but that's just my opinion. You are truly gifted. I wish i could braid so i could keep my daughter hair braided. I think i am gonna be bold and try ot braid it on my own rather than keep paying someone. My only flaw is that i can boxbraid but can't cornrow. Keep up the great work.
I think it is so awesome that you have learned to style your children's hair. I wish more mothers would learn to style their daughter's natural hair instead of relaxing it or having their daughters wearing weave. Good job!
Great Job, i love every picture and i want to say adopting the girls and learning how to do african american hair styles was very special and keep up the good work.
i am cosmetologist. Kate is doing great. Not too tight there is no bumping. Both V and B hair is healthy shiny strong and thick. Their hair is growing so fast.ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. The unique way in which she braids from the middle of the strand allows the braid to be secure to the scalp without putting excessive tension on the scalp not to mention the underhand braiding allows you to secure without pulling. GO GIRL.!
first i want to say you and your daughters a very beautiful, i think adoption is a serious way of showing true love for another human being. thank God you're there for them and they"re there for you too,lol i love you skills honey and then locking one of the babies hair wonderful idea! God bless you and your whole family, and keep the vids coming.I like how precise you are. I love how you took the time to learn how to work with their natural hair, again pure love.
oh n' another thing,the tension/tightness on the hair is too much for a child,also some weave hair is not a good look for kids,like the latch hook extensions in this video but all of the other styles that she did in this video were beautiful,she did a great job on their hair
Her locs are going to be so long and beautiful by the time she gets in middle school. They are already full right now. And for the ppl worrying about ther permancy of locs. I wouldn't worry about it. Locs can be taken down and detangled. It is just a long process but it can be done where you retain the length you've grown.
You and your girls' hair have come a long way in 3 1/2 yrs. My 2yr old and I just love watching ur videos. She even pointed out a couple of styles she wanted while we were watching B and V's hair journeys.Could u do vids of the faux french braids and the splits braids? Those look so amazing. God's really blessed u with a gift for braiding and u in turn are blessing not only ur girls but ppl u'll probably never meet. Don't stop!! xx
beautiful girls, beautiful hair, and you have a talent for braiding. however ... please dont loc their hair. locking is permanent and can only be removed by cutting them off and they will have gone thru the growth process for naught. the decision to loc if not by reasons of faith should be a personal choice made by someone old enough to understand the implications of non-reversal. if you are gonna do braid locs...take them down before the hair locs into place.
locs can be taken down without having to cut them off, there are several methods of how to do so here on youtube. It is timely however, but it can be done without having to cut the hair off, what you lose is hair that would have shed in the natural process anyway.
I spent a good year weighing out the pros and cons and discussing the options with my daughter before we made the decision. She loves her locs! They suit her personality well, and she looks adorable with them. I hope she decides to keep them for a really long time, but if the time comes that she wants them out, we will try to take them out, or we will stop latching for a while and when we cut them she will have at least a few inches to start with.
We have grown her hair once, I know it can be done again, and I know many beautiful styles I can put her hair in while it grows. I don't see that as being a problem.
There is definitely nothing wrong with locking your babies' hair. Locs are beautiful!!! There are many different types with varying symbolic meaning associated with them. The most important one is a simple one: It says, "I'm going to do what I want with my hair or my child's hair and express what I believe to be beautiful despite anyone's opinion" Your work is beautiful and we can see that you clearly take the time to do what you do :) Have you ever heard of Sisterlocks? I love them!
so adorable, you must pick up beads all the time

hey. im looking to adopt. but finances are low and these people are taking forever just to send me a simple letter (and we are in the same county). so, was the process easy for you? were the costs low? what state? thanks.

Phenomenal work! I'm totally inspired to do my girls hair for this school year. I have 3 daughters (7/5/5) and I did not look forward to doing their hair because my cornrow technique took too long and I didn't have many style ideas.
I look forward to seeing more videos - could you show how to part the hair for cornrows into pigtails style. How long does it take you to do a style? It took me 1 1/2 hours just to do cornrows into ponytail (and my girls are patient like yours.)
SpanishDiscoveryTime 2 years ago
Pretty much every style I do takes 3 or 4 hours. I have one style that is like 8 large cornrows and that takes about 2 hours, but everything else is at least 3. And of course extensions are even longer!!
It depends on the length of hair. V has REALLY long hair now so it takes forever to comb and then really long to braid just due to length. But, I think I am a bit slow, and I take a long time to put in parts because I am a perfectionist :)

i love the fact that even though your white and have black kids you didnt let them run around looking crazy you kept their heritage and thats beautiful i see it all the time even white women that have bi racial kids they dont know what the hell to do with their hair and the fact that you was like im gona keep them looking tight and practice until i get it i admire that hell im black and know black women that dont take pride into their kids hair like that i do though i love to do my daughter hair

Man I need to start braiding styles like now i am so impressed, I mean seriously impressed you go girl. you know the crazy part is I didn't know you were not the same race until I went to your page. I was like now I know I need to get it popping on these styles for my daughter. I know how to braid its just styles and parting kill me. Not to mention taking it down. I had to laugh when I saw the 1 style you said you said you would never do I totally understand. Awesome Job

Wow. Just wow. I am in awe. I first saw you vid on how to add beads. Way easier than I thought! Then I looked at the yarn braiding tutorial and just tried it earlier this week. I'm very impressed with my first try! I'll do much better the next time. Please elaborate on coconut oil. I have some in my pantry for cooking. It's pretty expensive. Do you use a particular brand or type and do you mix it with anything?

the styles are beautiful...i really love the cornrow styles a little better thatn the braidlocs though but that's just my opinion. You are truly gifted. I wish i could braid so i could keep my daughter hair braided. I think i am gonna be bold and try ot braid it on my own rather than keep paying someone. My only flaw is that i can boxbraid but can't cornrow. Keep up the great work.

i am cosmetologist. Kate is doing great. Not too tight there is no bumping. Both V and B hair is healthy shiny strong and thick. Their hair is growing so fast.ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. The unique way in which she braids from the middle of the strand allows the braid to be secure to the scalp without putting excessive tension on the scalp not to mention the underhand braiding allows you to secure without pulling. GO GIRL.!

SGmom2 2 years ago
Her locs are going to be so long and beautiful by the time she gets in middle school. They are already full right now. And for the ppl worrying about ther permancy of locs. I wouldn't worry about it. Locs can be taken down and detangled. It is just a long process but it can be done where you retain the length you've grown.

SugarShandy 2 years ago
beautiful girls, beautiful hair, and you have a talent for braiding. however ... please dont loc their hair. locking is permanent and can only be removed by cutting them off and they will have gone thru the growth process for naught. the decision to loc if not by reasons of faith should be a personal choice made by someone old enough to understand the implications of non-reversal. if you are gonna do braid locs...take them down before the hair locs into place.
peepla7 2 years ago
locs can be taken down without having to cut them off, there are several methods of how to do so here on youtube. It is timely however, but it can be done without having to cut the hair off, what you lose is hair that would have shed in the natural process anyway.
SugarShandy 2 years ago 2
I spent a good year weighing out the pros and cons and discussing the options with my daughter before we made the decision. She loves her locs! They suit her personality well, and she looks adorable with them. I hope she decides to keep them for a really long time, but if the time comes that she wants them out, we will try to take them out, or we will stop latching for a while and when we cut them she will have at least a few inches to start with.
Katelynylyn 2 years ago
We have grown her hair once, I know it can be done again, and I know many beautiful styles I can put her hair in while it grows. I don't see that as being a problem.
Katelynylyn 2 years ago
There is definitely nothing wrong with locking your babies' hair. Locs are beautiful!!! There are many different types with varying symbolic meaning associated with them. The most important one is a simple one: It says, "I'm going to do what I want with my hair or my child's hair and express what I believe to be beautiful despite anyone's opinion" Your work is beautiful and we can see that you clearly take the time to do what you do :) Have you ever heard of Sisterlocks? I love them!
