I’ve been following Heidi Klum’s career for years. From her Victoria’s Secret and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit days until now. Through it all, I’ve always admired her style and grace. This super model mama continues to inspire in more ways than one. I remember seeing photos of her sporting a one-sided cornrow style. So, we decided to recreate it for our curly hairstyle of the week.
This style can be done in less than 10 minutes. All you’ll need are a rat-tail comb, spray bottle with water, leave-in conditioner, curling custard, elastic, hair clip or bobbi pin(s) optional.
1. Spray hair with water. If Princess’s hair is a bit tangled, I add a little Kinky-Curly Knot Today Leave In Conditioner/Detangler – 8 oz
to soften her tresses. Note: Curly hair is much easier to style when damp, and also prevents a lot of breakage.
2. Using the rat-tail part of the comb, make a small section on your side of choice from front to back, making sure the part is diagonal. So, if you make a part on the left front side of the head, you should end at the back right side.
3. Use hair clip to secure the remaining section.
4. Cornrow the section.
5. Part another section and cornrow.
6. Once you’ve completed the cornrows, use an elastic to secure it in place, and hide ends behind the larger section. You can also secure with a bobbi pin or hair clip.
7. Let the larger section down, fluff, and add a little Kinky Curly Curl Custard Gel, 8 oz to define curls. (A little goes a long way)
This fun and edgy curly hairstyle is great for all occasions. I love that it’s super easy and gives a shaved appearance on the braided side. Princess chose to rock her curly hairstyle with her leopard printed leggings and dress.
