Curly Fro - Simple Style!

[Soliel185]

I saw this tutorial - well actually these are this person's results, and she links to the tut that she used.

I'm about to take my weave down and give it a rest with the "added" hair for awhile. It's gettin' too dang hot for all that! But anywho, I think I want to try this style for when I take down. I'm about 14 months post, and I think I will be around layered APL when I take down, but I'm not totally sure...


If anyone's tried this I'd love to see pics!

Way of the topic...
But Is that really weave your wearing
in your siggy???

 

[Soliel185]

LOL. Yes it is.

If you go to my fotki you can see my transitioning hair, and the protective styles (braids/weaves) that I've worn.

IT'S so NATURAL

My daughter use to do this method about a year ago and loved it!

I don't think so. If you click my link it should go right to my album.

Did she wear it out in a fro or did she make a puff or wear a band with it?


I can't believe nobody on this board has pics of them rocking this style!

I think I'm going to try later today - I'm eager to chop, but I don't think I'm totally ready for the "mental" change yet so I think this'll help blend the straight ends I still have.

I have pics of my curly fro in my fotki, I don't do it the way she does it though, but I think that's because my hair isn't as long. I only put rollers on the front section and I never wear a headband I just let it be free.

I don't have any pictures of my curly fro but I tried it twice. I twist then roll with flexirods. It gives me big hair but it doesn't turn out like the ladies on YouTube.

I will keep trying to get it "right" I didn't take pictures because I would always forget or something tragic happened like getting caught in the rain like the last time. I want tighter curls so I am going to try next time without the flexirod. Hmmm. Might try it today.

TQ

 

[Soliel185]

I think I want tighter curls too, so I will do it on damp hair and make tighter/smaller twists.

I think the flexirod will help keep the tension as it dries - I can't get perm rods to say in ever.

This just looks so much easier (and more consistantly textured) than the individual or flat twistouts. My straight ends never look quite right.

I knew exactly what this was before I clicked your link. I've tried it a few times but I haven't mastered it yet. I didn't get the definition I was looking for so I just use it as a means to stretch my hair for a braid out or twist out.

Not only is that link misleading but it's also unfair. CurlyChronicles could dunk her head in a toilet bowl, flush then go for a long drive with her head out of the window and her hair would STILL come out looking good. I love her vids and her hair!

 

[vkb247]

I can't see YT at work but I am assuming it's the Lisa Akbari(sp) curly from. There was a thread about this awhile ago and I have some pics in the folder on my profile. I did it after doing a twist out and it was alright but definitely could have looked better.

AGREED! My curlyfro looks nothing like hers or ItsHeatherNicole's. I have never seen her hair looking "bad".

...it was alright but definitely could have looked better.

Yep, my thoughts exactly I don't know what I am doing "wrong" I tried it again today. With brown paper bag rollers and just rolled into itself. I will take pictures after I wash this masque off my face.

I did this last year when I was transitioning... I really liked it...

I USUALLY rock my hair in a curly fro (I will add pics when I get home my DIYers and the Salon ones) HOWEVER let me just say that I wish I had seen this yesterday before I set my hair because that is SO much less time consuming to acheive a look that is very similar to my day 5 and beyond curly fro...I will DEF try that in a couple months

I did this with perm rods while my hair was wet and the curls came out too tight.

I might try it on dry hair with bigger rods to see if I like it.

 

[BklynHeart]

You can also twist or braid your hair in sections loosely, then roll it and tuck in the space at the root. Comes out the same! I do this style when I'm wearing small twists, it gives my hair a curly bob look.

Thank you

As my hair grows longer, I will also try bigger rods. But for noe, perm rods it is...

That is REALLY cute! Hopefully mine comes out that well..I figure if it doesn't I can make a curly bun or puff of some sort.

I'm working in a time crunch so I'm going to sit under the dryer - has anyone set that way or did you all airdry?

I did it this way. Here are my pictures finally: http://public.fotki.com/TeaKyoo/hair-from-2006-present1/

That method never works for me. My hair isn't very dense and my strands are kind of fine so I have to do a bantu knot out in order to get a curly fro that looks full. It always comes out great when I do it that way (do about 15 two strand twists, then bantu knot them, air dry over night).
