How to Style Your Afro Hair for the Christmas Party

How to Style Your Afro Hair for the Christmas Party

We love this time of year because it forces us to slow down and spend time with loved ones. It's also the season of Christmas parties — with family, friends, work colleagues and glittery outfits.

We often find that women think they need to hide or iron out their kinks for the festivities. That's not the case at all! Here are 7 styles that you can rock this Christmas with all that's glitter and gold!

1. The High Puff

A classic and old faithful, the high puff is a go-to favourite for naturals of varying lengths. It can be adjusted so that the hair falls wherever you desire.

Twisting some hair at the front and unraveling for a fringe adds a nice touch.

2. Twist-out

For the perfect twist-out, make sure your hair is thoroughly moisturised before twisting. If you find your hair usually looks thin at the ends, you can use perm rods to help create more volume. To prevent frizz before unraveling the twists, lightly coat your hands with an oil.

3. Let it fro

No need for definition here! For a "taller" fro you can stretch your hair without heat...

4. The High Bun

The high bun is similar to the high puff but kinder to the ends of your hair. If you want a super sleek look, use a satin scarf to lay down the front of your hair.

5. Space buns with twists

This is a super cute style that incorporates twists and gold hair jewellery.
