Hello Everyone! What a wonderful Wednesday we have been blessed to see! Since I have been wearing my hair in twists, I have seen an improvement in the overall health of my hair. I decided to continue my protective styling but switch up the style. I will show you all how I achieved my 3 ball banana clip style.
Things you will need:
Clean hair (preferably stretched)
Banana Clip
Opened and Closed hair pins
Moisturizer
Brush
After you wash/condition your hair, make sure you stretch your hair. I stretched my hair in order to be able to make my balls voluptuous and neat. Stretching methods that you can use include banding, blow drying on cool or warm settings, or braiding/twisting in sections and letting your hair air dry. I used the blow dry method. Make sure you apply a moisturizer and sealant. If you are using any type of heat, use a thermal protectant as well.
Once your hair is dry and stretched, apply the moisturizer and sealant and proceed with brushing your hair up as if you were gathering it all together for a pony tail. Once it is gathered, don the banana clip.
Now, separate your hair into three sections. I began with the top section and rolled and tucked my hair under with a closed hair pin and secured any fly aways with the open hair pins. I did this for the remaining two sections.
At night, I removed the banana clip and hair pins. I also moisturized, sealed and twisted my hair in those three sections to keep it stretched. In the morning, I repeated the process for styling again.
I really like this style because it shows another form of versatility for our natural hair. Be creative and go for it!

ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Anna Renee! Try it out and might want to hold off on the "Solange" a little while longer. Share your pics if you do!
ReplyDeleteNow that is too cute and amazing! Do you have any style photos of medium length hair? Also, what do you use as a moisturizer and sealant?
ReplyDeleteThis style is very elegant also!
I am glad that you like it Tonya! I will go back through my photos and post some of my medium length hair style photos. As a moisturizer, I use my Nourishing Hair Butter which is available at my website www.naturesindulgence.net. The sealant that I use is a new product that I will be releasing soon. Stay tuned and thanks for commenting!
