With all these questions coming my way each day, 'Is that your hair?', 'What kind of weavon or hair extension did you use?', 'Can I touch your hair to confirm?' , I guess, I will soon make a T-shirt with the write up, 'Yes, Its My Hair'. Lol..... That will answer the question before it is asked.
Anyway I ain't complaining. I appreciate all commendations about my hair. I have come to realize that people appreciate clean, healthy well kept natural hair whether it permed/relaxed, fully natural or transitioned hair.
I quit heat styling on my natural hair a very longtime after I learnt that heat styling makes the hair brittle and damages it especially for a relaxed hair that is already fragile. To achieve my gorgeous hair curls I go for the overnight heatless curls.
The uphair do is my favorite easy DIY hair style and it gives my hair that fuller look. That will be the finished look for the 3 methods in the tutorial on how i get my heatless curls below.
First, start with a damp hair. For me, after washing my hair with shampoo, I use my homemade leave-in-conditioner(Olive oil and coconut oil) on my damp hair not wet hair and then style.
1. Bantu knot
Make Bantu knots in small sections and unravel it the next day
2.a. Use Perm rods / Flexi rods
For more defined curls, use smaller rods/rollers. Twist and roll the hair in small sections from the ends of the hair .
b. Twist two small sections of the hair and roll onto the rods/rollers.
Next, let it air dry overnight while you sleep.
With the bobby pins and a small comb, dress the hair carefully from the back up and hold with the pins to make an uphair do. Be careful not to in ravel the curls to the end with the comb in the process.
Now you can separate the curls with your fingers, fluff , tuck and pin where necessary.
This hair style can stay up a whole week. During the week , you might just need to redress the back of the hair and repin, add shine to it with your hairspray and finger comb a bit, tuck and repin.
