Introduction

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating a stunning and intricate hairstyle using the techniques of moisturizing, styling, braiding, and securing the hair. Whether you have natural hair or extensions, this step-by-step guide will help you achieve a sleek and polished look to wow everyone.

Preparing the Scalp

Before starting the styling process, it is important to prepare the scalp. Begin by creating a u-shaped part and applying tea tree oil. This lightweight and antiseptic oil will moisturize the scalp and keep it healthy in warmer temperatures.

Applying Moisturizing Oil

Once the scalp is nourished, it's time to apply a moisturizing oil. Tea tree oil can be used again, massaging it into the scalp. This will help keep the hair hydrated and protected throughout the styling process.

Styling Gel for Sleek Look

To achieve a sleek and polished look, use a styling gel. Apply it to the areas of the part to make it look more defined and sleek. Use a soft bristle brush or toothbrush to gather the hairs and create a more polished appearance.

Securing the Hair with Scrunchie

After styling the hair, it's time to secure it in place. Use an extra-long scrunchie to gather the hair at the very center. This will ensure that the hairstyle stays intact and looks neat and polished.

Using Creamy Rejuvenator

To keep the ends of the hair nourished, apply a creamy rejuvenator. This conditioning product will help prevent dryness and keep the hair healthy. Twist the hair down to the very end and then wrap it around itself, securing it with bobby pins.

Twisting and Pinning the Hair

Continue the styling process by twisting and pinning the hair section by section. Apply the creamy rejuvenator to each section before twisting it down. Once twisted, wrap the hair around itself and secure with bobby pins.

Braiding with Vulcan Braid Hair

For added length and stability, use Vulcan braid hair extensions to create sturdy braids. Apply the Bella Beauty pomade to the hair closest to the part to keep it slicked down and separate the sections of hair. Braid each section down until you reach the natural hair ends.

Controlling Frizz with Serum and Pomade

If you struggle with frizz, control it with a frizz-control serum and pomade. Apply these products to your edges and throughout the hairstyle to keep everything sleek and polished. This combination will help tame flyaways and maintain the desired look.

Styling the Edges

Pay attention to the edges of your hair to ensure they blend seamlessly with the rest of the hairstyle. Use a pomade and serum to control frizz and smooth down any unruly edges. Take the time to perfect the edges for a flawless finish.

Creating a Ponytail

To create a more versatile hairstyle, consider adding a ponytail. Use rubber bands to gather the hair into a ponytail, securing it at the midpoint. This will give you the option to wear the hair up or down, depending on your preference.

Adding Detail with Small Braid

For added detail and elegance, create a small braid. Freestyle the braid by pulling it backward and covering the twist of your natural hair. Secure the braid with bobby pins and create a beautiful and intricate look.

Pinning and Wrapping the Hair

To create consistency and height, pin and wrap the hair strategically. Pin the hair at the widest part of your head and gradually wrap it around the sections as you move down towards the nape. This will create a uniform and polished appearance.

Creating Height and Coverage

To maintain the height and coverage throughout the hairstyle, add more braids and wrap them strategically. Use rubber bands and bobby pins to secure the braids, ensuring they cover your natural hair and blend seamlessly with the rest of the hairstyle.

Braiding and Securing the Hair

Continue braiding and securing the hair, paying attention to the details and ensuring everything is in place. Use rubber bands and bobby pins to secure the braids, creating a sturdy and well-balanced hairstyle.

Adding a Long Side Braid

If desired, add a long side braid for a dramatic touch. Take a section of hair and braid it down to the ends. Secure it with a rubber band and flip the end of the hair upward to create a polished look. This long side braid will add elegance and uniqueness to the overall style.

Final Touches with Rayon Thread

To add a final touch of elegance, use rayon thread to wrap around the braids. Choose a color that complements your hair and wrap it around the braids, securing it with small knots. This will add a sophisticated and intricate detail to the hairstyle.

Conclusion

Congratulations on creating a stunning and intricate hairstyle! By following these step-by-step instructions, you have achieved a sleek and polished look that will turn heads. Remember to maintain the hairstyle by moisturizing the scalp and using appropriate products to control frizz and maintain the desired appearance. Enjoy your new fabulous look!
