Half and Half

S0 the back of your hair is behaving but the front is giving you fits?  Half and half curly hair styles let you leave the back alone and just fix the front. This shouldn’t take more than a couple minutes and a few determined bobby pins. You’ll be back to having a great hair day in no time!

  1. Starting with a bit of moisturizer will help give you the sleekness that can be achieved with this style. Applying a light product won’t add too much more buildup, plus using a downward, smoothing motion will help your hair fall in line.
  2. The front a middle sections are the focus for this look.  Creating the pompadour in the front adds height and drama to the look, while the middle bump adds another level to the chic, trendy style. Tuck your ends under and secure with a few bobby pins.
  3. Type 2 (Wavy”>: To give your hair some much needed lift, try adding a volumizing mousse to give your hair some extra volume. This will help with creating the front and middle sections. Adding a finishing spray like Curlisto Structura Spray will give your hair hold and prolong the style.
  4. Type 3 (Curly”>: Secure the middle section with a thin scrunchie to give your hair a boost.  Apply a light pomade like Darcy’s Botanicals Coconut Butter Pomade to the sides to help smooth your tresses. Flip that section back to create the pompadour and secure with a couple of bobby pins.
  5. Type 4 (Kinky”>: Volume usually isn’t an issue since your hair is probably already thick and full by this time, so now it’s time to smooth the frizzies away. Add a moisturizing product like Oyin Handmade’s Whipped Pudding to add shine and softness. Don’t forget to moisturize your ends!

Tips: To add to the sleekness of this style, try using a hair comb to secure the front pompadour. Roll the front section backwards and push your hair comb into place. If you want to rock this style for another day, just tie on a satin scarf at night. You can pin the loose hair up with a bobby pin, or even put it in a large, loose twist for more body the next day. You can always wash when you’re ready!
