Information About Wet-Styling Natural Black Hair
Are you looking for an easy way to style natural
black and african american hair? Look at the picture on
the left. The woman in the photo has natural afro
textured hair which she has styled in a unique way. What
she has done is used some
Northwest Scents hair conditioner
after washing her hair to produce waves in her hair.
To accomplish this, while her hair was still damp
after washing, she combed
Northwest Scents hair conditioner
through her hair, squeezed out the excess, styled
her hair the way she wanted it, and then tied a
scarf over her hair for about 30 minutes. At the end
of this process she has waves. In this case, the
lady in the photo has bangs, and the rest of the
hair she combed into a roll which she secured with
bobby pins and hair combs.
In this photo, the lady has worked with her natural
afro textured hair in a similar way to the lady in the
photo above. She styles it by pulling her hair back
loosely and secures the ends with a braid which she tucks
under. She then wears a fabric headband around the front
of her hair.
This wet-styling technique lends itself to many different
possibilities. Natural afro textured hair, if it is
healthy and in good condition, can by styled using
conditioners, water, a comb, and a scarf to set the hair
in place. The hair can be short, medium length, or long.
The length of the hair determines the styling
possibilities.
