6 Protective Hairstyles to Eliminate SheddingNatural hair bloggers share their favorite hairstyles to lock in moisture and prevent cold-weather breakage |
If You Want a Funkier Look Start this pompadour hairstyle by parting your hair into three sections. Part your hair straight down the middle, then brush some hair forward for a section from your forehead. Pull that front section into a tight twist and pin it out of the way as you work on the rest of the hairstyle. With the two remaining sections, pin the section you're not working on out of the way, as well. Beauty vlogger Isa K. Alston adds a bit of moisture to her hair by spritzing it all over with water. Then, Alston adds Beautiful Textures Moisture Butter.
Next, comb through the section of hair you're working on, smoothing it back and toward the center and working out the tangles. Alston applies Arganics "OutSmooth This" Edge Smoothing Gel with her fingers and a small hairbrush to slick the hair back toward the center part. Then, take the bottom of the section of hair you're working on and begin to tightly twist it upward. Use a hair elastic to secure it, then braid the ends of the ponytail you have created. Pin this braid out of the way, and repeat the process on the opposite section. Pin down both braided ends toward your front section of hair.
Now for the front section of hair, apply any moisturizing product, before you roll the section of hair back from your face. Finish with additional edge control gel, and your pompadour is complete!
