Fresh Holiday 'Dos For Natural Hair

The Festive Fauxhawk
We love inspiring maximum envy with hairstyles, and this one is sure to bring on the jealousy. Rocker 'hawk with side braids? So hot and so easy. Let’s do this.

Using a rattail comb, make a part directly over the arch of your left eyebrow, ending at the crown of the head. This is your lead part, which will set the direction of the style.

Make another part, directly underneath that part to create a one-inch section of hair. Cornrow that hair all the way to the back part at the crown.

Secure the end of the braid to your head with a small bobby pin, leaving your ends free behind it.

You’ll repeat that step for a total of three braids on the right side, allowing the ends to blend with the back of your hair. See, we told you this was easy. Let’s move to the other side.

Repeat this process on the other side of your head. This creates a fauxhawk of hair along the top hairline.

Use your hands to sweep your hair upward along the front and above the crown to add height to your fauxhawk. Then, fluff your length with your fingers to create lift and definition.

Add bobby pins along the sides of the center section to keep height in place (if you feel you need it). Just hide the pins within the roots of your hair. Ta-da! Fauxhawk completed.

No pomades or creams were used to complete this style, but Miko says it’s always an option. “Give your hair what it needs to look its best,” she explains.
