The Mole Hills: Afrorage Hairstyles

The Mole Hills

(This works well for hair shrunk to 80% of its length, or medium length hair).

Sharon Kasanda

This was one of my  older hairstyles when I just went natural and was trying to come up with creative hairstyles for everyday use. I call this one the mole hill as the hairstyle tends to resemble little ‘hills’ of hair across your head, this one is so simple I have to recreate the look soon!

 

What you need:

Bobby pins (By now you will know that a natural girls friend are millions of bobby pins!)

An awesome hair accessory or headband to jazz it up

Prep time: 30 minutes

Timeframe: I managed three days with this style

 

Method:

Step 1: Clean, tangle-free and moisturized hair is always a good starting point, as my intentions are always to keep the style for as long as I can.

Step 2: Start at the bottom of your head of hair near your neck and separate the hair into segments. For this hairstyle I separated my hair into segments the size of my wrist. As you separate each segment, tuck it in under itself and use a bobby pin to keep it in place. This will create a ‘hill’ like effect.

Step 3: Continue for the rest of your head until you have ‘mole hills’ all over your crown. When you get to the top of your head, leave out a small fringe of hair which you can style as you will at the top of your head.

Step 4: Place headband or hair accessory over your head and emerge from the undergrowth!

Step 5: Rock your hair with pride!

My Hair and I : Meet Rejoice Jatamunua from Windhoek, Namibia!

Who are you?

Hi, I am Rejoice Jatamunua a Natural 4c type or maybe just some parts of my hair, of the facebook page ‘Natural 4c, 4 whatever hair Embrace it.’

Were you always a curly girl?

These were my flat ironing days… I have never relaxed my hair before but the ceramic straightener was my hair’s BFF (best friend forever) , I never liked the thought of chemicals in my hair, but i loved the fact that I could wear my hair straight without relaxing it.

What happened on 5 March 2013?

This was the first day I walked out with kinky hair with no straightener effects!

The next weekend I went to a party  and still rocked my hair. Everyone wanted to touch it and some even asked if I was wearing a wig… Awkward.

What do you do for protective styling?

          For protective styling?  In the order of the pictures…bantu knots, flat twists, box braids, senegalese twist updo’s, weaves (Yes a weave is good protective styling and also helps to retain length in my opinion), and two strand twists (Only when I am at home and not going anywhere!)

  Before and after!!!

What is your nighttime routine?

I moisturize, then seal with Castor oil or Afrorage Tropical Hair Butter (which I recently started using),  I massage my scalp with coconut oil or Afrorage pure oil blend and do a two strand twist than put on my silk bonnet.

Any last words for us?

Take care of your hair, protect it, use what your hair loves and just love your hair, the key to a successful hair journey is patience and more patience, and last but not least, what works for you, may not work for me!
