Beat the Heat with 3 Natural Hair Updos
3. The now and later ’do
Say you feel like channeling Zhané, but before they were rocking shape-ups. Then bantu knots are for you. Decide how many you want and section your hair accordingly. Twist each section in a counter-clockwise motion and secure with pins. The best part about this style is when you’re done reminiscing and undo the knots, you’ll be left with beautifully waved tresses without much extra effort.
By incorporating these updos, we are simultaneously staying cool and protecting our complexion. Double bonus indeed.
