Longer 4c Natural Afro Tutorial

If you have long 4c hair, your results to an afro hair can vary, like the ones below.


The one above looks like it was fully detangled or previously stretched. This often happens when you'd been wearing your hair in a stretched updo or bun for a few days.


The natural hairstyle above now, shows what is likely a loose twist-out. NOw, some people's hair separate like this naturally after washing. It all depends on your hair. Some people's hair even look like this when they've just started freeform locking.
