Meeting in the Middle

When you’re done rocking your fabulous loose waves or twist out, but not quite ready to wash and style again, what do you do? Throw in some hair pins, a scrunchie and a few minutes and you’re ready to face the world. Whether you’re running late to work or heading to a dinner date, your hair will be the least of your worries with this classy style.

  1. This simple style can take many forms — it’s all in where you place the pins. Using hair pins will allow you to pull and secure the hair, unlike bobby pins which may squash your curls. Try pulling the hair in from each side into the middle and secure with a pin.
  2. You still want this to be a relatively smooth style, so try adding a moisturizer that will help fight frizz and moisturize your curls. Adding a light leave-in conditioner prior to styling will ensure your hair looks neat and well put together.
  3. Type 2 (Wavy”> If you have fine, wavy hair, you can count on a mousse product to give you shine while controlling frizz. Try Jane Carter Solution Wrap and Roll to help keep the flyaways under control. Scrunch your hair with your Hair Dry Hand Glove to speed up style and speed up drying time before pinning into place.
  4. Type 3 (Curly”> Try not to separate your bigger curl. Having chunkier curls will work to your benefit when pinning the hair in the middle. Use a leave-in conditioner spray like Blended Beauty Kick for Curls Aloe Juice Spritz to moisturize and tame the frizz without disturbing the curls too much.
  5. Type 4 (Kinky”> Since your hair is thicker, try creating your sections before pinning. Smooth a small amount of a moisturizing product like Oyin Handmade Hair Dew throughout your hair. Then, working with a small section at a time, twist each piece before pinning into place.

Tips: If you want to get a second day out of this style, try applying a spray gel product once you’re done styling. If you want some extra shine, try a few sprays of As I Am CocoShea Spray or your favorite shine boosting spray. Sleep lightly because even with a satin bonnet this style can be crushed easily during sleep.
