I was asked by a lovely natural with sisterlocks to find some cute but practical wedding hairstyles.
Here goes!

Above style created by sectioning off the bang area. Dividing the back  into two. One half in a side bun, the other in pin-curls. The bang is then pinned and added to the pin-curls. Cowry shells finish the look!

Two-strand twisted styles mimick locs very well! Anything twists can do, locs can do better...lol! ;)
Simply, pull locs over to one side and pin. An added dimension would be to pincurl the side left out here!

Curls from bantu knot-out - pulled up into a high bun with the bangs left out. A white braided band applied over the front and veil behind the bun finish off the look!

How-to:
- Washed with TRESemme’ Naturals
- Detangled with TRESemme’ conditioner
- Deep Conditioned with EVOO + Pantene Relaxed & Natural Breakage Defense Mask
- Twisted 8 sections of my hair to stretch and dry it
- It didnt dry in enough time for the wedding so unfortunately had to blow dry lightly it without any protective product
- Used coconut oil all over for some shine
- Then used to Cinn-a-bun method developed by Motorcitymoxie on youtube.
- Slicked backed edges using Elasta QP Glaze Conditioning Shining Gel
- Pulled my hair back using a stocking like a headband
- Instead of tucking and pinning each piece of hair straight back, I twisted each peice so it would eventually roll up on itself and look like a mini dounut and pinned it securely.
- Did this all over my head starting from the hairline then toward the middle.
