An Afro is one of the most popular styles for natural hair.Both men and women wear it, and it is suitable for any length.It can be difficult to get natural hair to stand up.It is easy to make an Afro stand up.You can still make your hair stand up using a slightly different technique if you don't have an Afro.
Step 1: To clean hair, apply coconut oil.
Olive oil, shea butter, and a store-bought product are other types of oil you can use.Spread the product on your hair with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb by lightly coating your hands.You will not be putting your hair up into a protective style, so you don't need a lot here.
Step 2: You can volumize your hair by fluffing it out.
To comb out your hair, use your fingers.You should jiggle your hair every so often by digging your fingers into it.This will help break up clumps of hair.Adding volume to your hair with your fingers will help it stand up.
Step 3: Pull hair away from each other.
If you want to go all the way down to the roots, you need to split your hair in half.It's a good idea to do this all over your hair.The splitting motion is similar to a 2- strand twist, but you aren't actually twisting the strands together.When you reach into your hair, jiggle your hand.It will help loosen the strands a bit more and give you a more natural look.The sections should be thick.
Step 4: You can get a hair pick with rubber or metal teeth.
The length of your hair will affect how long the teeth are.The longer your teeth are, the longer they should be.It's important to choose something that is flexible.Your hair may be damaged if the teeth are too stiff.rubber is more gentle on the hair than metal.
Step 5: When you hit a knot, run the pick through your hair.
Start near the tips of your hair.The tips of the pick can be used to gently untangle a knot.After detangling all the ends, repeat the process.Slowly you will be able to separate your hair.If you run up against a difficult knot, add coconut oil to loosen it up.
Step 6: comb the pick through your hair
Start at the bottom of your head and work your way up.Pull the pick away from your head.Pull the pick at a downward angle when you are doing the bottom of your head.Pull it away from your head when you get to the sides and back.Pull the pick up towards the ceiling once you get to the top.To match the curve of your skull, adjust the angle at which you flick the comb.
Step 7: When you get the look you want, fluff your hair with the pick.
Pick out your hair from front to back.There are sections that look flat or clumped together.The amount of time you do this depends on your level of puffiness.You are ready to go once you are happy with your look.Your hair's natural texture will help maintain the style.
Step 8: Clean and dry your hair.
Pick a hair product and apply it to your hair.Next, use a wide-toothed comb to comb your hair.This will help distribute the product and remove tangles.You can either use a store-bought one or a natural one.
Step 9: If you want a styling cream, apply it to your hair.
If your hair isn't holding styles very well, the styling cream is necessary.You can skip the styling cream if your hair is coarse.Don't soak your hair in water, use enough to make it damp.If you have to, use a wide-toothed comb.
Step 10: You can blow-dry your hair with a diffuser attachment.
There is a attachment for your hairdryer.The hairdryer should be held at a 90 angle relative to your head.Put the prongs in your hair so that they don't touch your head.If you want it to dry your hair, hold it there for a few seconds, then move it onto another part of your head.Until your hair is dry, do this all over your head.Don't press the prongs of the dryer against your hair as this could cause burns.You won't be able to dry a section of hair on the first pass, and you may have to revisit it a few times before it is dry.If you want your hair to be dry, just let it air dry.Don't use the hairdryer without the attachment.The heat will damage your hair.It could make it curly.The attachment looks a little like a funnel.
Step 11: Pull strands away from your head and blow-dry them with a nozzle.
The attachment needs to be replaced with a nozzle.Pull a section of hair away from your head.Blow-dry that section of hair, focusing on the roots.The angle at which you pull your hair depends on how you want it to stay up.You can either pull it up towards the ceiling or off to the side.A "blast" attachment is a concentrator nozzle.It is both wide and thin.The size of the hair doesn't matter.It would be fine if it was 2 to 3 fingers thick.
Step 12: You can use a pick to comb out hair.
Pick a hair pick with long, flexible, metal or rubber prongs.The prong can be used through small sections of hair.Move deeper into your hair by combing out the ends and then working your way back to the roots.Before you move on to the next section, use the tips of the comb to untangle knots.Don't use the pick to comb out your hair.You can use it to train your hair.
Step 13: Use your fingers to shape your hair.
There is a little freedom here.If you want more volume, pull strands of hair apart.Pull on your hair in the direction you want it to stand.If you want to make your hair look glossy, you don't need to use a lot of spray.
