A romantic half-up, half-down variation! The top half of the hair is split down the center and gathered into twin high space buns at the crown, while the lower back half remains loose, cascading over the shoulders in lush, hydrated coils.
This offers the face-framing lift and structure of double knots while showcasing the full length and density of loose Type 4 hair.
Step-by-Step Styling Guide
- Horizontal Split: Create a horizontal part running from ear to ear across the crown, separating top and bottom halves.
- Build Top Buns: Split the top section down the center and form two high space buns at the top corners.
- Define Back Coils: Apply curl-defining cream or leave-in conditioner to the loose back section, shingling or finger-coiling to enhance natural spring.
- Fluff for Width: Pick out the loose back coils to create a wide, voluminous background behind the twin buns.
