I have a new favorite way to style my teeny weeny afro and I just had to share it with you guys. It involves defining my natural curl pattern using the Shingling Method. Here is a detailed video tutorial. See how I refresh and keep up the style here.

Love it!! How long does it take you to your hair like this?
Thank you. It takes about 2 hours!
This is just what I needed. My TWA is beginning to grow out and faster than I expected so this tutorial is right on time. How long does the style last?
I keep it for 10-14 days depending on how my scalp is holding up.
Awesome! What products do you use again? You mentioned a leave in conditioner that has lemongrass in it. So could you give me all the products you use please? I’m doing the big chop soon so would like to have my supplies ready for me to use! Thanks beautiful
Hi Brandi. I mentioned the Alikay Naturals Lemongrass Leave in, which I’ll be reviewing soon. I use different products depending on the mood of my hair. You can see a lot of them under the “Hair” category.
Wow, how simple and creative! I must try this
I love your style. Please make more videos!
Thank you so much… and I plan to! 🙂
Good gracious – your hair is gorgeous!! I definitely have hair envy. (However, due to extreme ‘hair laziness’ syndrome, I have locs: I wash them once a week and it takes me about 30m to moisturize my scalp and retwist these suckers)
Thank you hun. I wish my routine was as short & sweet lol 🙂
How does it old up for during/after workouts? ( I workout 3-5 days per week)
Unfortunately I don’t work out regularly so I can’t be sure. It should be fine as it holds up through extremely hot and humid days.
Thank you sooooooo much for introducing me to the shingling method!!! My curls are popping! Yaaaay

You’re welcome. Congrats on your Big Chop and good luck on your journey!
Watching in 2021 all the way from Zimbabwe, Africa! Do you blow dry it after you have finished shingling? Do you dye your hair black Erica?
Hi. Nope, I don’t blow dry. I let my hair air dry. I don’t dye my hair black. This is my natural hair color ❤️
