When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When your mama blesses you with kinks, you … make the top knot! This stylish half up, half down top knot looks great with kinky curls, offering versatility and sophistication, and making it a perfect casual hairdo. Also, when elegance comes with ease why wouldn’t you want to flaunt it! Getting this look is so simple, we bet you can whip it up in under 10 mins.
Prep: This hairstyle even works well with second-day hair. Just make sure to detangle your kinky curls and use a good leave-in conditioner like the African Pride Shea Miracle Moisture Intense Leave-In Conditioner for moisture.
Style: Take a chunk of your curly hair from the top front section on which you will make the top knot and gather the rest of your hair below, into a ponytail. Now, work on that top front or crown section and braid it into three cornrows. Since we want natural hair for the bun, don’t braid the cornrows all the way; just till you reach the mid-section of the hair. Secure all the 3 braids with an elastic hairband. Wrap this hair into a bun securing it with an elastic band too. Remove a section of hair from this bun and wrap it around the elastic securing it with bobby pins. Undo your ponytail and you’re all done!
Complete The Look: Rest the top knot at the crown of your head and you are good to go!

We all, almost always seem to look our stylish best in under 10 mins. Hence this is the next hairstyle for your kinky curls! It’s low on maintenance and works beautifully with every hair type; yes, even short hair!
Prep: Begin to prep your curly hair by using a good shampoo and conditioner. With the goodness of shea butter, African Pride Shea Miracle Moisture Intense Hair Moisturizer is a great way to moisturize your hair. Then detangle.
Style: Start by applying some hair gel on the front, back and sides and gather your hair upwards. Most hair gels can be harsh on your hair so we advise you to go for a gel enriched with Argan oil. Brush your hair upwards towards the crown to smoothen the product on your hair and set the style. Secure this with a long elastic and stretch it from your hairline till the nape of your head. Finally, slide the elastic band upwards slightly above your ears.
Complete The Look: Brush any stray hair and set them neat with the African Pride Olive Miracle Silky Smooth Edges Hair Gel.
