Mel-B Long Curly Dark Brunette Afro Hairstyle

Visual Story

Description

Mel B spices up her look here with her long afro locks that have been parted in the middle and slicked down on the top. Tight curls all through the mid-lengths to ends of these tresses gives this style plenty of bounce and movement. Regular trims every 4-6 weeks will help prevent split ends and keep the hair looking thick and healthy. Mel's color is another standout feature here, with her dark chocolate brown tresses complimenting her complexion and eye color.

Styling Steps

1 Apply Moisturizer

Apply a small amount of hair moisturizer to the palm of your hand and distribute it evenly through the mid-lengths and the ends. Moisturizer will help your hair to maintain good condition and protect your strands from heat as you style.

2 Part the Middle

Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your nose and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even middle part. A middle part is a great way to make small, round face shapes appear longer and thinner.

3 Use a Blow-dryer and a Diffuser to Dry Curls

Using your diffuser, gently scrunch your hair dry in a rotating direction. Make sure the blow-dryer speed is on low and try not to completely dry the hair off as leaving a little bit of moisture will ensure that your curls do not frizz.

4 Apply Smoothing Shine

Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.
