3. High Voluminous Frohawk with Sleek Pinned Sides
Setup Method
The high voluminous frohawk with sleek pinned sides delivers a bold, modern silhouette that celebrates natural density while creating an elongated visual profile. This concept gathers the side sections flat against the head, directing all textured volume upward along the central vertex and crown of the head. The contrast between sleek, compressed sides and full, soft cloud-like coils creates an energetic visual lift that flatters round and oval facial structures. This style functions as an accessible, non-permanent alternative to a shaved mohawk, offering high versatility for dinner parties, cultural gatherings, and casual weekend outings.
Start with freshly moisturized, stretched natural hair prepared via previous twists or braids to maximize softness and length. Apply a small amount of flaxseed styling gel or edge-smoothing butter along the side hairline from the ears up toward the temples. Smooth the side sections upward using a medium-firm boar bristle brush, pressing the hair flat against the scalp. Secure the sides vertically along the parietal ridge using decorative tortoiseshell side combs or sturdy metal bobby pins inserted horizontally. Fluff the central band of loose afro coils upward using a metal afro pick, lifting gently from the roots without disturbing the defined pattern along the tips.
