After Nikki Phillippi kicked off the new hairstyle series with a gorgeous braided top knot, Mini Marley has accepted the challenge and created a head-turning hairstyle that’s perfect for ladies with afros or naturally curly strands. Ready to try out a new look on your natural hair? Read on to check out how to create this natural curly hair tutorial with a fun twisted updo.
How To Create this Natural Curly Hair Step by Step
If you’re planning on trying out Mini Marley’s natural curly hair tutorial, remember to use the hashtag #StyleItOn when posting your finished look to Instagram or Twitter! Also, before you begin styling your locks, spray the Nexxus New York Salon Care Humectress Luxe Lightweight Conditioning Mist all over your mane. This nifty product works to rehydrate and detangle your hair, plus it smells pretty awesome! What more could a girl want?!
Then, using a comb, take a two-inch wide section from the front of your hair and create a neat curved parting.
To do this, simply divide the small section near the parting into two smaller, equal parts and twist these sections around each other. Use the parting as a guide as you move back along it. When you’ve reached halfway down the back of your head, secure your twist with a clear elastic. See? Not as hard as it looks!
Editor’s tip: If you want to make your updo sleeker like Breanna’s, simply use more hair gel on the edges of your hair and a natural bristle brush to help smooth it down.
