How to Make a Coiffure
A coiffure can be any hair style done by you or a hair stylist. Some coiffures are easy to attempt and, some are more challenging. Easy coiffures can be a ponytail, drop curls or flat-ironed straight hair. An example of a difficult coiffure is cornrowed hair going towards the back. To make life easier, I'm sure you'd prefer to do a nice coiffure that is simple yet stylish by creating some loose curls using the bantu knot method. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Mix your extra virgin olive oil, hair gel and water into your container. Measure out one tablespoon of each ingredient.
-
2
Section your hair into medium-sized square sections using your comb. The amount of squares you section depends on the density of your hair. Use your hair scrunchy to separate your hair from each parted section.

3
Dip your fingers into the mixture and put some onto each section.
-
4
Twist the section in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. Twist the section from the root to the end.
-
5
Roll the sectioned twisted hair around itself. The section should resemble a honey bun. This is called a bantu knot.
-
6
Secure the bantu knot by putting a hair pin at the root of the section. This step prevents the bantu knots from unraveling.
-
7
Put on your hair bonnet and leave it on for eight to 10 hours or more.
-
8
Remove the hair bonnet and carefully take down each hair pin. Unravel each bantu knot.
-
9
Divide each section into two to get more curls and more volume. You now have a nice loose-curl coiffure.
