Step 5: Remember to keep the flexi rods in a vertical position. This also determines the direction of the waves.


Step 6: All done! Leave in overnight. If you are wearing a wig like I am, then you can take it off and avoid a serious battle with sleep.


Finally, take out the flexi rods and style.

I'm currently working on my wash day post as we speak, but I decided to stop and create this quick tutorial first. I had so much volume to play with after taking out my cornrows that I almost didn't want to wash my hair!

I'm really pleased with how much thickness and volume i've gotten, considering that I've only been transitioning for 5 months.

Anyways, this tutorial is for ladies who are currently transitioning to natural hair and want to start experimenting with some of the hairstyles that natural ladies rock. (Side note: this tutorial would work best for ladies that are transitioning from TEXLAXED hair to natural hair)

It's really easy. Here's how you get it done:


1. Gently comb all your hair towards the front of your head. You look ridiculous I know, but trust me.



2. Put an elastic band over your head and then push it upwards towards your crown area.


A headband is preferable as elastic bands can snag on your hair and cause breakage, but today I've thrown caution to the wind. Notice I haven't said anything about moisturizing? That's because adding products would weigh the hair down and your faux puff won't look realistic.

Moving on.


3. Braid or twist the ends of your hair, I'm guessing those are the thinnest parts of your hair and we want to hide them away. I did a twist for this tutorial because I thought it would look more natural than a braid, but do whichever works best for you.



4. Tuck your braid in at the centre of your hair.


5. Pin to perfection.

And voila! You have the sickest puff in all the land.





 How far are you in your transition? Would you rock this?

3. Secure with bobby pins.


4. Repeat steps 1-3 on the other side.


5. And one in the back.


6. And you're done!

See, I told you it was easy. This look is really cute and perfect for the summer. Let me know if you try it!

This style is actually very easy to do, even though it looks a bit complicated, and even more difficult to explain in writing but I'll do my best! Here it goes:

1. Take a small section from the front and twist.


2. Twist it toward the opposite side and secure it with an elastic band. Make sure to hold it with a few strands from that side.


3. Repeat the same on the opposite side. Take a section, twist to the other side and secure.


You should have something like this:



4. Next, take a section on either side of your head and put it in front, leaving some in the back.


5. Make a ponytail with the back section.


6. Now take one of the front sections and twist towards the other side.


Note: In order to keep this twist secured, I used my mouth to hold it while I repeated step 6 on the other front section. If you think this is gross then...I'm sorry. Lol!


7. Repeat step 6 on the other side.


8. Now this part is a bit tricky, I took those two twisted sections and put them under the ponytail I created and tied them with an elastic band.


And you're done!


I hope this tutorial makes sense, let me know if you try this style!

Step 2: tuck the length of ponytail into and through the base.



This is what it looks like:




Step 3: make another ponytail below the first one




Step 4: tuck the remaining length into the new ponytail and you're done!



That's it! I told you it was simple. Will you try it?

Welcome everyone, to my very first hair tutorial! I hope to be doing a lot more of these so that we can have fun! Okay, so originally this was supposed to be a regular headband tuck but, the length of my braids are too long so I did a side braid instead. It's really easy to do, are you ready? Let's go!

Step 1: part your braids however you desire. I'm doing a center parting for this.


Step 2: place your headband at the crown of your head, over the braids.


Step 3: Grab a section in the front.


Step 6: continue to do so, stopping behind your ears.


Step 7: repeat the process on the other side.


Step 8: when you are done with both sides, take all your hair,


And tuck it into the headband going through your hair. This helps to cover the headband totally.


Step 9: gather all remaining hair to one side.


Step 10: begin to braid the hair and secure the ends with an elastic.

And you're done!

So I hope this was helpful, let me know what you think in the comment section.

Will you try it?
