CURLS

Wild Curls

Style tip! Drummond mixes warm water with a small amount of conditioner in a spray bottle to keep her curls neat and neat.

The Wash-and-Go

Campion College sixth-form student Natalia Crooks calls this her wash-and-go style. Simply wash, condition & dry; moisturise, add sheen and soften with shea butter; pin to the side and off you go!

Product watch: Crooks nourishes her healthy mane with Cantu Shea Butter.

Wavy Curls

Alia Hewitt, hospitality and tourism management student at the University of Technology, planned ahead and wore two cornrows for a day to create defined curls that are easy to manage. After pulling out both cornrows, Hewitt massaged coconut oil into the curls for added sheen and hold.

Product watch: Hewitt layers her edges with Eco Styler Olive Oil Styling Gel.
