• 1. As usual, hair should be clean and well detangled.
• 2. Section a small part of your hair, this is where the clips(blings) will be attached. Usually, I just do a side part, then further divide it in two.

• 3. Take one of the section and make box cuts, you can do as much as you like, I just kept mine on the minimal though.

• 4. Take one section of the hair in box cut and hold with a small rubber band.

•  5. Twist, join it to the next section and secure with a band.

• 6. Divide it in two and drag it to have a firmer hold.

• 10. Wake up the next day, unravel twists, fluff and go!

Day 1

Day 6

Curls, Curls...more curls

What you’ll need:

1. Water in a spray bottle
2. Leave in conditioner
3. Detangling comb/brush
4. Gel

1. Section a small part of your hair and thoroughly dampen the section with water.
2. Apply leave-in conditioner, smooth it through and detangle your hair.
3. Apply gel and smoothen through in a raking motion.
4. Shingling: Take each individual curl in the section and smoothening it down to separate it from the rest of the section. i.e separating the curls strand by strand.
5. Do this for your whole hair, then gently shake your head for a while(like you’re saying ‘no’). This helps to separate the coils and to remove excess water.
6. Style your hair in the direction that you want it to go and let it dry. 
7. You can add some oil after it dries.

1. This style is best achieved on hair that is cleansed, without any build up. It will last longer this way.
2. Get ready to keep your hair wet throughout the entire process. This allows you to capture the curls you have in your wet state. Water and conditioner bring out your curl pattern, and the gel captures your curl pattern.
3. Don’t add too much gel, I did this and my hair didn’t completely get dried until the next day. I also had a few white flakes on my hair. Don’t be like me.

Mornings:

• For the first 5 days: Added oil, lightly rake my hands through my hair, shake and go.
• On the 6th day, I finally spritz with water, applied oil then little gel and let it dry 

Night:

• Pineapple up.
• If I want a stretched hair, I twist more than half of each section, then secure with rubber bands

• Yarn (wool) 
• Kinky braiding hair

• My hair was freshly washed, well moisturized and oiled.
• Then my hair stylist started with box braids using the yarn.
• Next the box braids were threaded upon starting from the root using the kinky braiding hair to the tip of the box braids.
• Finally the tip was tied and burnt to ensure a tighter hold.

1. To save time, stop braiding the box braids where your natural hair ends. The rest of the unbraided yarn can still be threaded upon.
2. Burn only the tip of the kinky braiding hair. Don’t burn along it. I made this mistake the first time, it makes the take down process harder.

1. Eco styler gel 
2. Head band
3. Hair brush
4. Bobby pins

• Pack my hair up in a puff using the head band, smoothening out the front with eco styler gel and a brush.

• Took a little section of the puff and combed through to detangle.

• Rolled the tip of the section by finger coiling.

• Tuck down the tip and pin.

And voila! You've got a headful of cinnabuns!
