Keyshia Cole hairstyles are always edgy and colorful with strong urban, contemporary feel. She is a style icon and role model for many African-American young women and so her hairstyles are always commented and often copied by her fans. Here is an instruction on how to make one of Keyshia’s hairstyles, which is a take on the faux hawk style, but in more feminine, sassy approach. It is basically a ponytail-based updos.

To recreate Keyshia Cole’s hairstyle you need to have medium length hair. They can be naturally curly, but it’s not mandatory. This hairstyle will also work great on hair curled with hot rollers. Divide your hair into small sections and curl them from the ends to the roots to create very tight curls.

Lift your hair and start from brushing out the curls near the roots and below to the mid-lengths on both sides and in the back of the head. You want to create very sleek look in the back and on sides, but you need to keep your hair curled from the mid-lengths down, so do not brush out the curls at the hair ends. You can also spray some water to the hair to straighten it. When you are brushing your hair, pull it from the back and sides to the front.

Grab your hair and use banana clip to create a very high ponytail, sitting at the top of the head. Banana clip is a hair accessory with long, curved inward prongs, which can be clipped around the base of different kinds of buns and knots. With banana clip you can anchor your hairstyle in adequate position. Style the hair in the pony – you can clip them to the side, use iron roller to enhance the curls or just apply hairspray if you’re satisfied with the shape. For the back and sides use wax or pomade to keep the hair sleek.

Summertime is drawing near and in this article we’re going to look at stylish hairdos options for Afro-textured hair for this season. If you’re looking for an inspiration for your summer black hairstyles, read through our guide to Janelle Monáe inspired updo. Summer is usually the time of year, when women prefer to cut their hair short, but shoulder length hair can be pinned up in a hairstyle, which is very funky, creative and in vogue.

Janelle Monáe is famous for her retro Pompadour hairstyle, which is basically a variation on French twist, but because the hair being used for this hairstyle is very kinky, it is much more voluminous look than the regular French twist. In this hairstyle all of your hair will be pinned up, so it is a perfect hairdo for hot weather. You are going to use bobby pins and decorative hair comb to anchor your hairstyle.

Gather your hair to the front and start twisting them inward from the nape of the neck up, adding sections of hair from both sides of the twist. Kinky hair has a full, thick texture, so there is a lot of hair to work with, which is a good thing for this particular look, because creating the twist should be easier and the twist will be popping out more. When you reach the crown of the head secure the twist with the comb, pinning it into the twist. Start rolling again in the same fashion until you reach the front of the head. Secure the formation with bobby pins.

At this point you have created a twist going from the nape of the neck to the forehead, but you still have some hair hanging loosely in the front. Take the hair, twist a little bit around the base and fold it to the back, creating the pouf. Secure this new formation with crisscrossed bobby pins.

Having one of the curly hairstyles can be both a blessing and a curse. Unplanned rainy weather can set curls on end, fluffing and frizzing, and generally out of control. On the other hand, it’s easy to toss hair up in a loose style and get out of the house looking great.

Getting A Curly Hairstyle

If a person doesn’t already have a curly hairstyle there are a few ways they can go about achieving the look. Many people choose to go to a salon and get a permanent. This is a great way to get curls that will last for a long time. It adds a lot of body to hair, and adds beautiful definition to color. The down side is they may be pricey, remember though, the style will last until new hair grows in. Another salon treatment is the body curl, which will give a person wavy hair that doesn’t have too tight of curls. If choosing either of these routes for curly hairstyles be sure to ask the stylist the best ways to care for the look that way it will last longer.

The less permanent, yet more budget friendly way of getting this look is with the use of curling irons. Whether choosing to have tight ringlets all over or going with round body curls, a great iron can fit the bill. To get the best looks and locks spray a little holding product in hair before and after using the hot iron. Have some clips handy so that different sections of hair can easily be placed up and out of the way for ease of curling. Don’t leave the iron in too long as it can burn and damage hair. Just use a simple count until enough spring and body has been added to give the appealing look that is being sought after.

There are some products a person can get in the shampoo aisle that help with curls. Shampoos that enhance the curl factor or bring it out more are a great idea. Some work fantastic others only bring out natural curly hairstyles.
