Hair Tip # 33: Achieving Big Hair

Getting BIG hair is very easy!! I have developed a recent love and appreciation for big hair actually.

How to get big hair:


The night before...

  1. Spritz your hair with water. It shouldn't be drenched but it should be damp.
  2. Split your hair into 8-10 sections.
  3. Moisturize and seal. (leave in, seal with oil- butter, whatever you use). I use my Shea butter mixture and seal with coconut oil
  4. Twist, braid or bantu knot each section. 
    • If you want a wavy curl pattern - do twists
    • If you want a defined wavy curl pattern - do flat twists
    • If you want a crimped curl pattern - do braids
    • If you want a curly, ringlet pattern - do bantu knots
    • If you want a wavy, ringlet pattern - to twisted bantu knots
  5. Tie it up and go to bed!

The next day...

  1. Put some oil on your hands and take out each section. The oil helps give slip and it moisturizes each section as your take it down. 
  2. Separate the twists, braids, etc. 
  3. Continue to separate and fluff until your hair gets as big as you desire!
