Hair contestant Ebuni gives her take on an Updo for Natural Afro hair.

You’ll need:
Coconut Oil (melted)
Soft Bristle Brush
Hair Pins & Grips
Hair Bands

Section off the top of the hair and clip to keep out of the way.

Take your next section from ear-to-ear across the head and section off with a clip.

Smooth some melted coconut oil through the remaining bottom section of hair to moisturise, focusing on the ends. Detangle using the brush.

Brush the bottom section into a ponytail at the nape of the neck and secure using a hair band.

Repeat the process for the middle section of hair.

Separate the front section into two and twist together, loosely at the bottom and tighter as you twist all the way down to the tips of the hair. It should be puffy at the root of the hair.

Style into quiff shape and secure it with pins.

Separate the middle section into two. Take one of the sections and split it into two again and repeat the twisting action. Pin that twist so it meets the front section.

Repeat the process for the second middle section but pin that twist towards the bottom ponytail, creating a frohawk shape along the centre of the head.

Repeat the same process for the bottom ponytail, with one twist meeting the middle section and the other hiding the bottom hair bobble.

Puff up all the twists to give it more volume.
