Brazilian Wool: How to Make It Look Like Kinky Hair

Image
I love trying new things with my hair protective styles, twists, braids, and everything in between. But recently, I stumbled on a simple yet revolutionary trick that completely changed the way I view Brazilian wool. And I just had to share it with you! If you’ve ever used Brazilian wool, you already know it’s soft, affordable, lightweight, and super versatile. But there’s always been one small issue for me: while the texture is nice, it still looked and felt like yarn not like natural kinky hair. And I wanted that authentic kinky look for some styles I had in mind. So here’s the game-changer: I brushed it out. Yes, that’s it.

This look took me about an hour to achieve, and I love how versatile it is! Step-by-Step Process: 1. Prep Your Hair: Start with clean, dry hair. I made sure to detangle thoroughly to avoid any snags while styling. 2. Sectioning: I divided my hair into two sections: the top half for the cornrows and the bottom half to remain loose. 3. Cornrowing: I began braiding the top section into cornrows. I made about 14 cornrows using Brazilian yarn and ensured they were tight but not too tight to avoid discomfort. This took me roughly 40 minutes. 4. Gathering the Ponytail: Once the cornrows were done, I gathered the loose hair at the back and pulled it into a ponytail using a transparent hair gel.  5. Accessorizing with a Bun Clip: I added a bun clip to the ponytail. It instantly elevated the look and added a touch of elegance. The clip not only holds the hair i...
