Easy Afro Hairstyle :)

    So, this morning my twistout completly shrunken and undefined. :)  I was too tired to cowash last night, so before bed  I just added a little olive oil, avocado butter, and Shea Moisture Hold and Shine Moisture Mist spray to my fro. (I slept with my satin bonnet as well.) 
     After examining my hair this morning, I tried to come up with a style for the day.  I didn't want to wash it just yet, because I like to allow my hair to air dry over night.  However, my fro was looking like it needed some serious attention!  LOL   
     I started reminiscing on a style my mom use to do with my hair when I was little.  She would put my hair a puff at the top of my head and leave the back out. (Memories...lol)  So, that got me thinking... Here's what I came up with :)

Dampen the hair with your choice of liquid moisturizer. Next, part the back of your hair almost half way up your head.

Use clips to help hold the lower section down and keep it out of the way.

Apply a gel of choice to your edges, and use a knee high or elastic of choice to create a high puff on the top portion of your hair.

After removing the clips, use your fingers to close any gaps created by the part. Next, use a pick to create some height and fullness to your fro.

Add an accessory for fun!

   

     I love this hairstyle!  It took less than 5 minutes to do and it's a fun way to add some shape to your shrinkage.  I love that it "fools the eye by looking like a puff from the front, and then a frohawk on the sides :)   This is a nice alternative if you don't like using tons of bobby pins to hold your hair in a "traditional" frohawk.  It even works with the "awkward length" stage I'm in with my hair right now lol.  I hope you guys like this style!  Let me know if you try it out :)  Be blessed!
