Alicia Keys Hairstyle at AMAs

[LovelyNaps26]

Who has the skill to do this? I want to do this style so badly but I think I need a more detailed tutorial. If anyone does this style pretty please post the steps and pics. I just did my hair in a protective style on Wednesday so I'll have to wait a few days before I take it down and attempt this style

I think she sectioned the hair into 3 sections like a mohawk rollerset, only making the middle section wider than the two sections over the ears. The two sides are slicked back smooth into a ponytail gathered at the back of the nape. Not sure what she did with the ponytail.

As for the top, instead of her going a french braid/cornrow from the front to the back, she started at the nape and went from the back to the front and braided it all the way down to the end really loosely.


Take the end of the backwards braid and swirl it pincurl style on the side of your forehead and tuck the end of it somewhere under the braid, concealing the ends. Use bobby pins.




The only thing i'm stumped about is what the did in the back of the hair gathered at the nape, since I can't see it.

I may try to recreate my own version of this on my cousin...

Hope this helps!

I liked it too and went searching for steps...

For the hair gathered in the back I guess you can braid it and blend it with the reverse cornrow or make a braided bun or you can just let it hang etc etc....

But ur right, the writers should have included what they did with the back.
