Since I’ve been keeping up with blow drying my hair twice a month, I’ve been curious about styles that I can create when I want a change from my usual twist out. A lot of naturals are aware of the ways that you can style old twist outs, wash n go’s, and roller sets; but there isn’t much chatter about styling blown out hair. Fortunately, I was able to dig up a few naturals who are pro’s at styling volumous, blown out natural hair.
In this tutorial, YouTuber ChiakaValentina, keeps it simple and creates five hair styles on her red blown out natural hair.
Style 1 – This style was created simply by smoothing down the edges and picking the hair with an afro pick. The look allows you to see the simple beauty of the afro.
Style 2 – After parting a medium sized section of hair in the front of her head, she created a flat twist. She secured the end of the flat twist with a bobby pin and tucked it behind her head. A simple, yet cute way of wearing a blown out fro.
Style 3 – This style was created by combing the right side of the head to the side and pinning with bobby pins, creating a chic side do.
Style 4 – After grabbing a small section of hair in the front of her head, ChiakaValentina created a high top knot and left the back of her hair free.
