With prom and wedding season upon us, cute curly hairstyles are all the rage. For Princess’s pre-k prom we wanted to go with something elegant, but age appropriate. After researching different prom hairstyles, we decided on the Pull-through ponytail braid. It’s also our curly hairstyle of the week!
I was a little apprehensive when I heard that her school would be having a prom. Does she have to get a date? Would she have to head to the hair salon to get all dolled up? What about a mani/pedi? Do I have to get her dress custom made and rent a limo? These were all questions that fired off in my head.
Then I came back down to reality. Sure, I’ve seen images of little boys and girls dressed up as if they were seniors in high school. But, refuse to fall victim to that. Princess has a long while before high school and until then we’re gonna keep things as simple as possible. She’s only four-years-old for goodness sake!
Normally she isn’t allowed to wear nail polish, but we decided to make an exception. I painted her finger and toenails a pale pink to match her pink dress, which was purchased on sale at the mall. Look at the light pink prom dresses for 2024 for other options. An expensive dress and a trip to the nail salon was not in our budget. When it came to the hair, I did it myself.
The pull-through ponytail braid can be achieved in about ten minutes using CurlyKids® Curly Gel Moisturizer, bobby pins, and elastic rubber hair bands.
When it comes to curly hairstyles, finding the right product to use is key. I avoid using heavy gels and hairsprays on Anastasia’s hair, which is tough because of the challenges when trying to tame flyaways and keep the style in place.
To achieve this look, start by distributing a dime size amount throughout the curls before beginning the pull-through ponytail braid. Then continue to add more as needed to smooth out the roots. Normally we shy away from using too much gel to avoid product build up. But, CurlyKids® Curly Gel Moisturizer doesn’t leave her hair feeling sticky or greasy. It lightly holds each hairstyle without stiffness while minimizing breakage.
Here’s a quick tutorial. Also, be sure to visit curlykidshaircare.com for more details on CurlyKids® products.
