Style Edition: Ponytail with a Hump & Flat Twists

12:28 AM

I had a fresh retightening done and a graduation to go to. What a girl to do? Like I explained on my previous post, I'm noticed my sisterlocks are getting flatter after every retighten. So I decided once again to wear my sisterlocks in a ponytail.

I decided to do my simple loose pony tail with flat twists. I also added a hump in the front to add a little flare to this style. Underneath are the pictures and the "how to" for this style. As always comments are welcome =).

Note: My new camera pick up everything. Need to find a new solution for my acne :(.

Material Needed
Hair Pins or Bobby Pins
Hair Tie
Your Bump of Choice
(ex. handkerchief, hair net)
Aloe Vera Gel

Step 1) Make a big part in the front. Keep in mind, the bigger the part, the longer (distances) your flat twists will be.

Step 2) I put the rest of my sisterlocks in a temporary ponytail, just to get my sisterlocks out of the way.

Step 3) You will first create your hump by using whatever material that match your locks or that can be hidden underneath your locks. I use a small black handkerchief. Then you will use a bobby pin to pin your locks over the hump. The size of your hump is all up to you. I decided to do a small hump.

Step 4) You will proceed to do a flat twist on both sides of your scalp pining them down with bobby pins or hair pins. I don't do tight hair style, hence why I use hair pins, but you welcome to use rubber band if you want a tighter lasting result.

Step 5) Remove your temporary holds on the rest of your locks and put your locks in a ponytail. You can smooth out your baby hairs with an Aloe Vera Gel or a gel of your choice.
