If you are a naturalista, then twists and big afros would be your thing. Speaking of big afros, here’s how to go about it:
1. Wash your hair with a volumising haircare product
Great hair all starts in the shower! Yes you heard it right. You need to get your products ready to wash your hair right. If you prefer to use a volumizing shampoo, go for it. The volumizing agents in the shampoo can help you achieve the big afro style you desire. We suggest using a system for naturally curly hair.
2. Blow-dry or air-dry your hair
This all depends on how much time you have at your disposal. If you have plenty, go for the air-dry method, a leave-in conditioner would do. To help you stretch your hair while air-drying, soak up as much water as you can from your hair and then create four jumbo braids or twists. Allow your hair to dry completely in the braids then move on to the next step. This can take a few hours, depending on how thick your hair texture is.
3. Pick your fro
Get your afro pick out and go to work! Pick your hair until you get the height you love. If needed, you can use your blow-dryer set on medium heat to blow the roots, encouraging volume.
4. Set your hair in place
This step is super effective but often overlooked. To ensure that your afro hairstyle stays in place, set your hair with a flexible-hold hairspray.
