{, Music, } Hi guys. We are starting this style on a stretched. Curl former set Moisturized with water and my homemade shea butter cream, And I trimmed it again. Now almost all the hair color is gone, I'm so excited Ok, so let me show you: the hairstyle Make a deep side, part making sure it's nice and clean, Then we're gon na do the same thing to the other side, And we are gon na fix up That back part a bit, it doesn't need to be perfect And then we're going to twist the hair and clip it out of the way. We'Re gon na make a deep angled side, part going from the top and down behind the ear And twist that front section clipping it out of the way.. Now repeat, on the other side, Ok, one more part just make a clean middle part, all the way down. The back Grab one of those sides twist it and clip it out of the way Grabbing that back half that we didn't clip up. I'M gon na prep it with some castor oil. This oil is a little thick and it's gon na help keep my fly aways in control, and it's really nourishing Bring that section up so that it's now hanging towards the front of your head And we're gon na make a flat twist going from bottom to top. If you've never made a flat twist before it simply twisting small sections of hair together, adding in new sections as you twist down or in this case up And when there's no more sections to add just like normal, I'm spritzing with water here to help condense. The hair and making it easier to get a sleek twist And again, I've already moisturised prior to styling., Once you've reached the bottom of the twist, I'm just gon na wrap it into a bantu knot to keep it stretched and out of way. While I work on other sections now do the same thing to the other half in the back. We'Re gon na bring it upwards, so it hangs towards the front of the head And I'm flat twisting from bottom to top, Adding in new sections with each twist and if you've never twisted from bottom to top. Its really easy just takes a little practice and reprogramming the one thing you really want to make sure to do is twist each side in the opposite direction. That way your twist look uniform. The first time I did this. I made the mistake of twisting both sides in the same direction and, as you can see, it was hella wack twist both sides in opposite directions for a more uniform look.. We'Ve reached the end of our twist and we're gon na wrap it around into a bantu knot for safekeeping and move onto the sides Working one side at a time. We'Re gon na make a small flat twist working from the front to the back And with the each twist on the side. You want to always make sure that the texture is facing upwards. That way, you can see it. When there's no more hair to add just keep twisting like normal when you reach the end twirl it into a bantu knot and move on to the other side, We're going to repeat the same exact thing flat twisting from front to Back So now, I'm releasing all those bantu knots. I have two in the back and two in the front working one side. At a time, I'm gon na combine the back and front twist together and I'm gon na bring it up and around the back just pulling. It gently place the end of that combined twist between the twist on the other side and bobby pin in place. Now repeating the same thing on the other side, combining the back and front twist, bringing it up and around the back and then bobby, pin that ends In place and if it's sticking out just tuck, it in. Alright, now I'm gently securing those twists to the back of my head with bobby pins, so they don't budge.. Releasing that front section. I'M gon na be using medium-sized perm rods to create curls and we're using two different perm rods here for two different types of curls.. I'M only gon na use a bit more water and my shea butter cream to set the curl And when I roll, I just wrap the end around the bottom of the perm rod and then rotating my wrists to twist the hair over that wrapped and end up. The remainder of the perm, locking the hair in place, and that's it cap that perm rod and keep it movin'. Repeat that same process all over the remainder of your head working in small sections. At a time When you're done just toss a loose satin scarf on and head the bed, I let this air dry overnight and in the morning it was completely dry and ready for me to take those rollers out. You can see. My highlights are almost completely gone. Now and my hair is starting to come back to life, I was so excited to see my hair being full and bouncy. Again, I'm grabbing a tiny bit of argan oil, I'm going to cover my fingers in it, so I can separate the curls without creating frizz { Music }. Now we have some awesome volume on top Grabbing, a tiny bit of castor oil. I'M gon na use this to set and nourish my edges. It also helps me smooth my hair back. I'M gon na place these curls, where I like them, bobby, pin the hair in place and that's it., A super cute and easy updo. That looks like an edgy, tapered haircut. And it's a great way to add variety. If you're someone with medium to long hair and you wan na rock that short look for a little bit A semi protective style, that's great for so many occasions. I hope you guys enjoyed this look. I hope the video was helpful and if you give this style a try make sure you hashtag naptural85, so I can check it out and leave a comment. Thank you. So much for watching and I'll see in the next one.
