A hairstyle that will not take more than a few minutes of your time involves parting your hair horizontally into two, pulling the top part into a fro bun while leaving the other part out in all its Afro glory. And because it’s the holiday season, an extra gold string accessory fits right with the top bun.
2. MID PUFF WITH FLAT TWISTS AND BUTTERFLY CLIPS
