Take care not to comb or brush your curls. Instead, mist them with a
strong hold hairspray. Then, twist hair according to the style that you
want and pin them accordingly. You can now pull excess hair into a
ponytail and adding some tendrils on the neck and the sides of your
face. Don’t forget to accessorize afterwards.

a round brush for fullness. Before starting with this, apply a styling
cream and blow dry to achieve your hair’s maximum thickness. Once your
hair is dry, pull it together into a loose bun and secure it to the
center of your head. Then, brush bangs to your face’s dominant side to
frame it. With the use of a rat tail comb, get small pieces of hair from
the bun, create loops from them and pin them in place. Set this
hairstyle with hairspray.
