Almost every natural-haired gal can admit that they’ve spent hours upon hours watching YouTube tutorials to learn how to recreate fancy hairstyles for special occasions and holiday festivities. You know what else they can probably admit? The hairstyle they love and tried was an instant fail after multiple attempts. This is not to say you can’t nail that cool updo hairstyle from your favorite vlogger. But when all else fails, stick to what you know, or try something just a tad bit easier to master. Below, we demonstrate how you can create a frohawk natural hair updo for the holidays:

Add gilded pins or hair clips to your frohawk natural hair updo to decorate your hair.
Step 5: Set your style.
Finish your frohawk natural hair updo with a shine spray, like Bed Head by TIGI Masterpiece Shine Spray, to make your curls pop!
