1. Twisted Buns: This look is a must for coarse-haired ladies. Divide your hair into four sections and then twist each away from your face. Gather the left side sections into a bun, then repeat on the right for a simple ‘do that will slay from day to night.

EMBRACE THE FADE!! We cant believe this beautiful purple is 4 weeks faded! 😱 It looks amazing!!! 💜 @liz.colors makes sure she used B3 in her colors to strengthen her clients hair. A healthy canvas prior to applying vivids is key for longevity. She also puts it in her vivids to make sure her clients can rock their fashion colors for as long as possible!!! #repost @liz.colors ・・・ Faded @pulpriothair after 4wks + a romantic twisted updo💜 (see what this color looked like the day it was done on my last post, if you're curious)🔮 #pulpriothair #brazilianbondbuilder #lizcolors

4. Updo With a Twist: When you’re tired of your typical ponytail, give this elegant updo a shot. Even if it’s only half as twisty as this gorg bundle, your game will be crazy strong. Add flowers or keep it minimal — either way, this style is def one for the books.

7. Layered Twist: Tight and structured is the name of the game when it comes to this hairdo. Wrap up the look by twisting the ends together or leave your bottom locks loose for a killer half-up style.

Pastel twisty pony. 💜 I used @brazilianbondbuilder in my lightener prior to creating this color palette to keep the integrity of her hair on point! 🌈 #ponytail #brazilianbondbuilder #b3 #updo

8. Side Pony: You don’t want your long locks getting in the way of your earmuffs or your #girlbossing, but that doesn’t mean your tresses are destined for plain ole ponytails. Twist small pieces of hair into a gorg side pony, then tease the ends and you’re good to go!
