curly Nikki

[lwilliams1922]

Curly Nikki was one of my initial hair idols as I went natural.

I am enjoying my 4a (about APL when stretched) natural hair. I still REALLY like the Curly Nikki curls. Can anyone give me some tips of point me to some info on getting a look similar to the attached photo?


I'm not sure if I need more length to get the hang or keep modifying products. I've been in braids all winter to get some additional length but I don't know if I should work on the method or just wait a few more months for additional length.


Any thoughts tips or suggestions?

CN usually wears her hair in Twist n Curls. I assume that is a Twist n' Curl too. Twist the hair and curl the ends.

I'm not sure I have the right size for the twists or the right products to add some weight?

I think the braid n curl is her usual, but her routine, products, her braid n curl method, and her preservation method (as of 2010) are here: http://www.curlynikki.com/2009/12/my-routine-winter-2009-spring-2010.html

She also uses henna (which helps with the thickness). She has tutorials, which are pretty good. Give it a shot.

I'm going to keep working on it. I just wanted to know what length she had to get the hang.

I think she keeps her hair trimmed at just past shoulder length almost APL
