One of the opening acts was Amber Bullock, winner of this season's Sunday Best. She's a natural, so I was definitely peeping out her hair during the show. I loved the pomp in the front, the french roll in the back, & the braids on the sides.
I decided to put my own twist on the style...literally. I did mostly twists in the back & front of my head, then flat twisted up the sides. I took the front two-strand twists & made a pompadour, but was quite disappointed with how it seemed to lack volume.
Thankfully, one of the gals from the Naturally Flyy natural hair fashion show I was in, Doyonna, posted a tutorial on how to make a two-strand twist pompadour fuller. Her suggestion is to use false hair as a filler...it really works!
I found a bag of "afro-kinky" in my closet (one day I need to vent/blog about being a product junkie/hair-monger). Then I curled the back twists using those tiny, cheap, plastic blue rollers. Here's the final result!
