So are you ready to get to the details? Of course you are. Let’s get to it!
What I Used:
Visual Guide:
Directions:
- Start with fresh and clean blown out hair
- Create a side part and take part down to the back of the right ear
- Pin the sectioned hair up and out of the way
- Part hair down the opposite side to the back of the left ear
- Moisturize hair with Cantu Coconut Curling Cream
- Lock in moisture with Cantu Anti-frizz Argan Smoothing Oil
- Divide remaining (back) section of the hair into four parts
- Flat twist each back section loosely, totaling four flat twists
- Secure ends with elastic band
- TIP: If needed, reference my previous video tutorial “How to Flat Twist“
- Remove clip from right (front) sectioned off hair and part in half
- Pull the small section of hair (closest to hair) up and away
- Apply a small amount of Cantu Coconut Curling Cream to remaining sectioned hair
- Add another loose flat twist to the top (front) section of hair and secure with elastic
- TIP: At this point there should be two small sections undone by each ear
- Two strand twist each small section
- Do not secure with elastic band
- Pull both twists back and over the four flat twists close to the nape of the neck
- Wrap the two strand twist ends around each other
- Butterfly the flat twists (puff to add volume)
- Pin the first flat twist (right side) into the left flat twist, then pin the opposite twist tail
- Repeat process for the remaining two flat twist tails, pinning into the fluffed twisted hair
- Use a small amount of Cantu Edge Stay Gel to sleek edges down with brush
There you have it! An amazingly beautiful natural hair up-do!
