The fabric wrap shields the top hair from environmental exposure and friction while adding an eye-catching cultural statement piece that contrasts with the voluminous natural coils beneath.
Step-by-Step Styling Guide
- Gather Top Bun: Smooth the top half of the hair into a high ponytail at the crown and twist into a top knot bun.
- Wrap Ankara Fabric: Take a narrow 3-inch wide Ankara fabric strip, wrapping it around the base and body of the top knot until fully covered.
- Tuck & Pin: Tuck the fabric ends securely under the wrap base or secure with a bobby pin.
- Fluff Back Mane: Pick out the loose back coils using an afro pick for dramatic width and volume.
