Pumpin' Up a Waveless Braidout- A Pompadour and Bun


Welcome curlies!  I've been pineappling my hair for a few days and my waves had left the building.  I was to tired to replatt on Wednesday night so I decided to make a quick pompadour and bun the back of my hair on Thursday.
 My pompadour needs a little work, but hey it served it's purpose.  Ok let me retell this story by going back to Thursday morning.  I actually called my niece to ask her how to make a good pompadour since I hadn't done one in so long.  I actually parted a mid sized square bang across the front.  I then divided it into two halves.  I took the back half and rolled and folded it until it touched my scalp, then added a few hairpins.  This served as the base for my hump.  Next I took the front half and coaxed it over the back and added a few hairpins.  Then I grabbed an elastic secured the back once, then doubled it over my hair to form a bun with the ends tucked in the second time around.  Oh I forgot to mention that I definitely rubbed some olive oil, shea butter, and cocuey (smile- my term for coconut oil throughout my hair before styling).  I also added a dime sized amount of gel across the front of the pompadour to smooth down those few frizzies and a little gel to the sides.  It wasn't a perfect pompadour, but it definitely pumped up my waveless braidout.
