3 Quick & Easy 4C Hairstyles You Can Create Using Pantyhose
Do you know what happens to me all the time? My hair is a mess. I need to go out. I don’t have the time to plop my hair and put a wig on, so what do I do to my hair?
I know many of you struggle with this as well, so here are 3 of my go-to, easy 4C hairstyles that I reach for every time I need to go out and my hair is in a messy state.
Tools and materials:
- Pantyhose
- Old wig or braiding hair
- Bobby pins
- Brush
- Leave-in conditioner or curl smoothie
- Hair gel
Preparing your hair for styling
1. Detangle your hair
The first thing you should do is take out any knots that are hanging out by the edges of your hair.
2. Add product
Next, I’m going to add some product to my hair. I’m using a curl-enhancing smoothie to my hair, but a leave-in works just as well. This is going to make our hair softer. Really spread it around and work the product into your hair.
Hairstyle 1: rolled updo
Using a brush, use a hair gel to put your edges and the sides of your hair in place.
After brushing in place, I like to use pantyhose to tie around my hair and pack it off to the side. Use little pieces of hair to cover up the pantyhose so it’s not visible.
Next, take a section of hair and twist/roll the ends then tuck and pin it under the pantyhose. Roll, pin, and tuck. Repeat this with the rest of your hair.
I like this style because even if you have medium-length hair as I do, it gives the illusion of very full hair.
Here’s the finished look! Feel free to lay your edges with gel to really finish it up.
This cute 4C natural hairstyle updo takes me less than five minutes to put together and it looks so refined. It can take you from work to party, or wherever you need to go.
Hairstyle 2: pinned top bun
Put some hair gel around your edges and brush it in place.
After your hair is laid, use the same pantyhose to tie up your hair. Instead of doing it off-center like in the previous tutorial, tie your hair halfway to the top.
Again, just like in the previous tutorial, use your hair to cover up the pantyhose band.
Take all of your hair and pull it up as if you’re about to put it in a bun, gathering all of the ends in one hand.
Pin the ends down to the middle of your head. Pin and tuck any flyaways.
Here’s the finished hairstyle! This look is so put together and perfect. It’s great for work or as an everyday style.
Hairstyle 3: where there's a wig, there's a way
Building off of the previous tutorial, take an old wig or braiding hair and place it over the bun.
Roll the wig around itself and the bun. Pin the edges to secure.
Finally, pin the center of the hair as well so your hair’s not going anywhere, even if someone tries to snatch it!
Here’s the finished look!
