Simply Delightful Side Twist
Curl definition is the highlight of this look, and can be easily achieved using ApHogee Curlific! Curl Definer. Your textured hair will benefit from this quinoa protein-infused definer that puts in overtime to fight humidity and add bounce to curls. Make sure your hair is damp when scrunching a small amount of the product into your curls. Depending on your styling preference, feel free to let your curls air dry in class or diffuse them before you get out the door!
In addition to adding definition and control to your mane, you’ll need to grab a few miniature claw clips to make this style look and feel top-notch. Use your fingers or wide-tooth comb to make a part section wherever you prefer and twist your strands. To set the look, clip the ends of your twists into your mane and fluff the rest of your curls.
This curl definer was designed by the creative minds at ApHogee to work in tandem with leave-in conditioners and textured hair. With Holy Grail products like this one, don’t you feel lucky to by a curly girl of the world? We surely do!

Classic Curly Pigtails and Adorable Afro Puffs
Nothing is a cute as curly pigtails and prideful afro puffs. No matter what grade or collegiate level you’re in, you can rock these curly, puffy babies ’til the cows come home!
To get this look, use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to part the middle of your curls from the top of your hairline to the nape of your neck. Using a texture hair-friendly elastic tie, section off your curls and gently fluff and puff your curls through.
Making this look extra adorable requires Shine & Jam Conditioning Gel, formulated with honey for extra hold and moisture by our friends at Ampro. This is for those extra fine, baby hairs that love being styled just as much as the rest of your mane. Using a soft-bristle brush or toothbrush, slick this extra hold gel onto your edges. This product is especially great for us with natural hair because it’s free of alcohol, parabens, petrolatum, and silicones – you know, all that icky stuff our curls don’t need!
