Piggy Back Halo

After two weeks of extremely low maintenance styles, I decided to style Baby O's hair in a way that looks slightly difficult, but is actually really easy.


To create this look I simply did a two strand twist piggy back around her head in a halo.  I started with an avocado and coconut milk conditioner, washed with CUSH Mango Babassu shampoo bar and finished with an ACV rinse.  I moisturized Baby O's hair with my own blend of shea butter and oils.  I parted her hair into a circle, leaving a "halo" of hair out that I was going to be working with.  I gathered the rest of the hair and banded it in a puff.  Starting at the right ear I did the two strand piggy backs around her head, until I got to where I started.  I twisted the section that was left and then added some glow in the dark beads and a little charm for fun.  To keep the twists together I used Curls Passion Fruit Curl Control Paste.  I use it this way to keep the curls IN the twists and they don't frizz up as fast.



I thought about leaving just the one puff in the back, but Baby O's hair isn't long enough to stay in one puff.  Since I can't part straight to save my life, I just went with it.  I made three puff in the back in triangle-like parts.


Enjoy!

P.S. I can't part straight either. That's one reason cornrows and I don't get along... :)
