1. Pineapple Puff
If you are a part of the natural hair community, you most likely have heard the term "pineappling" your hair. It is usually a technique that us naturals use to protect our hair while we sleep. When you pineapple your hair, you are protecting your curls from becoming dry and from losing curl definition.
Did you know you can do a pineapple puff hairstyle that can be worn as an everyday look? The great thing is, you will only need one product! Yes, just one!
Products needed: Snappee Hair Ties or Afro-Puff Scrunchies
How To Pineapple Puff
You would simply bend your head forward to gather all of your hair as close to your forehead as possible and then wrap 1-2 scrunchies or snappees around your hair so that all the hair comes through. Wallah! You have the perfect pineapple. Check out this video if you are a more visual learner!

3. Wash n' Dry
We love a good wash and go, but for some curly naturals it's just not ideal. There are several factors that may affect your willingness to wash your hair and go, such as shrinkage, length, and curl definition.
If wash and go's work for you, great! If not, there is another method we use here at SwirlyCurly.
The Wash n Dry method is the go to because not only does it take less time than a traditional wash and go, but it locks in moisture and reduces breakage all at the same time. You can definitely use heat in moderation, but not on high. Our new CurlDefiner Natural Hair Dryer was created just for naturals and has the perfect heat settings for the best wash n dry results.

Products needed: Mango Moringa Moisture Max System, Snappee Hair Ties/Scrunchies, and the CurlDefiner Natural Hair Dryer!
4. Sleek Bun
A sleek bun is always super cute and classy and is great if you are going out and want less of your curls out. It is also a great hairstyle that will last you a couple of days if you take care of it after it is set and done.
Check out the video below showing you how to achieve a sleek bun using the gel of your choice and our snappee hair ties!
