When I went natural, I learnt how to style my own hair because I don’t like having it done at salon and spending the whole day there then they mess you up.
So all the styles below were done by yours truly ‘Chez DD’ :-).
Two Strand Twist Out: I achieved this hairstyle by doing two strand twists with aloe vera gel. Kept them in overnight and unraveled them in the morning. I applied some coconut oil on the hair, separated the twists, blurred the parts with an Afro comb and pulled the hair into a puff et voila!Cinnamon Bun Puff: Hairstyle achieved by stretching the hair African thread the day before. In the morning, I unravelled the plaits, applied my whipped Shea butter and combed through with a wide tooth comb. I then sectioned the hair in four sections and did loose three strand braids, then applied a hair band and pulled it up in to a puff. Voila!Chunky Twist Out: This style was achieved by doing chunky two strand twists on previously stretched hair. I applied my whipped Shea butter, twisted it and kept the twists in overnight. I unraveled in the morning, blurred the parts and pulled the hair into a puff.Bantu knot out: I did the bantu knots using Aunt Jackie’s Curl la la curling custard on each section as I knotted. I kept them in for a few days, unraveled them, applied my whipped She butter, blurred the parts and pulled the hair in a puff and voila!Shaggy: I achieved this shaggy look by applying my whipped Shea butter on dump hair then rubbed it with the palm of my hands in circular movements. Yup! Easy peasy!Chunky Twist Puff: Hairstyle achieved by applying a headband to put the hair in an afro puff and making chunky loose two strand twists, braided them together and tacked them in. I also applied a bit of aloe vera gel to lay the edges.
I am working on doing some video tutorials on how I achieve these hairstyles. You can also check out my Facebook natural hair page or read about my natural hair journey and how I learnt to do my own hair.
I hope you like these styles and If you a natural girl, try them out and share your photos.
