What hairstyle comes to mind when you think of natural hair? Cornrows, twist, afro, bantu knots or flexi rod sets. A high puff and wash and go are among the most popular natural hair hairstyles. A common goal for naturalistas is moisture and definition. Between a high puff and wash and go, which hairstyle provided the best long-lasting definition and moisture? I put the two hairstyles to the test.
High puff
How to:
Step 1) Spray your hair with water to dampen it
Step 2) Use a moisturizing leave in or hair cream. This moisturizes your hair and makes the hairstyle last longer.
Step 3) Use a firm brush to distribute products and tame flyways. Start at the roots, then work your way upward.
Step 4) Place your shoelace, headband, string or ribbon around your puff. Wrap it around as many times as you like. Tie it to secure it. Make sure it isn’t too tight.

Wash & Go
How to:
Step 1) Separate hair into sections
Step 2) For each section, apply your products (leave in conditioner, curl smoothie/pudding and gel)
Step 3) Holding the ends of the section, shake your hair. This enhances your  natural curl pattern
Step 4) Rake your finger through the section. Apply more products if needed
