Okay so, I have super curly natural hair which also happens to be super short. Well not super short, if I brush it it's definitely long enough to do small braids but not long enough for a ponytail. I love my natural hair but I want it to be..bigger. Any tips on how to get my hair to look like this? :( I can't seem to get the hang of Bantu knots or twist outs.

It's not a great pic but here's my hair when it's wet and not combed. I big chopped in February.

I wanted the same at one time but gave up because I don't have the hair texture for it to sit up like that. And plus my hair is super long...stretches to my butt. You could try teasing your hair with a hair pick...especially if you're going into day three on no washing.

Shelley; I'm trying to get better with not washing my hair. I'm conditioning everyday lol :(

Refrain from washing on the daily if you can. And watch the daily conditioning. I refresh my curls with a mix of water, glycerin and aloe vera. I mix it in a spray bottle and spritz in the AM. It adds shine and keeps it hydrated. Your hair looks healthy from the pic you posted. ;) It's such an adventure being a natural beauty but don't give up.

Maybe make an appointment with your hairstylist so s/he can show you how to do Bantu knots or twist outs.

Jane; I don't have a hair stylist. Most of the salons around here specialize on doing hair for white women and they don't know how to work with my hair type.
