My brother was blessed to be born with naturally curly hair; however, many black men struggle with trying to make their hair curly. They also struggle with keeping it curly, as do my brother.
It’s no secret that it’s a task maintaining and keeping curly hair looking curly and not dry. Unfortunately, sometimes, its a losing battle and men will simply settle for shorter military style haircuts.
My brother previously rocked dreds for several years, but he FINALLY got tired of the upkeep that was involved so we took the dreds down. Luckily, he still had a good amount of length left and he could start working with his naturally curly hair.
The problem he is having now is learning how to manager and train his new long hair. When his hair is wet, it looks great, but soon as it dries, it loses is shape and it starts looking dry and wild.
Now he has to figure out how to keep his curly mane looking beautiful without having to resort to a short hair cut agtain.
Watch our video below to see how I put twists in his naturally curly hair to make him look awesome and his hair superb.
