"This look is easily achievable on Afro hair. Simply apply a semi-permanent colour for a high-gloss effect and rich tone. To style, use Alterna Thickening Compound to give fullness, pull the hair out in sections with an Afro comb, then diffuse dry and pat it back to create a rounded shape. Next, using the comb and your fingers, manipulate the hair to secure the circular look and complete with Wella Professionals High Hair Finishing Spray to add shine and perfect hold."
