Style tutorial by Oghomwen

In keeping with our attempt to do more tutorials on BGLH, here is Oghomwen with a style that can be three different looks.
So I do not know what to call this hairstyle. It is really easy to do and here is how I achieve it:

1.) I divide my hair into two sections. A big chunk in the back and then a little section in front.

2.) The night before I put the big section at the back into a single plait. Then I twist the section in front into 10 or so twists. Then I put the twists into Bantu knots. I go to sleep like this.

3.) The next day I take out the two plaits at the back and add some gel or holding spray so that I can brush the sides and so that the sides will stay flat without any frizz.

4.) Then I usually put the back into a French braid going upwards.

5.) Then I take out the Bantu knots and untwist the hair in front and the result is that the hair looks all wavy. So I take out my bobby pins and pin the front into place as you see in front.

What I like about this style is that it is the result of a three in one style. I start the week with twists.

Then after about 5 days I can wear the twists in such a way that I French braid the back but have the front loose

Then at the tail end of the week, I “Bantu knot out/ twist out” the front and French braid the back to have the last hair style.
