AfroStyle

The stylish and speedy style of choice for me for my current hair length is the afro puff. All you need for a basic afro puff is an elastic hair tie. Other products and tools can help you create different looks.

Products Used:

Any leave-in Conditioner

Tools Used:

Pick/Comb

Large elastic hair tie

Brush (optional)

This simple afro puff can be done right after washing or pretty much anytime.

First, comb through with your favorite leave in conditioner. Right now I use olive oil hair lotion, an affordable product that is available at Target, CVS, etc. Make sure you comb the front and sides back as if you were making a ponytail.

Next, put on your elastic hair tie, wrapping it around your head twice if need be. For the look to work, it needs to be tight. (but not so tight it cuts off your circulation!)

After that, push the hair tie back on your head until you have a puff of your desired size and location.

You can use a brush to smooth out the front if you want to but I didn’t in this picture.

Another Variation:

I did this puff as a wash and go style. After washing, I styled as described above, also using Hot Six Oil after towel trying my hair to seal in moisture. Next, with my hair still wet I did large twists all over my fro, then took them out. The twists are much softer than they will be for a twistout, but I still liked how it turned out.
