Named for its resemblance to the spiky fruit, this updo involves gathering your hair into a high, loose ponytail at the crown of your head, letting your curls cascade. It’s perfect for preserving curl definition while you sleep or as a statement look for the day.
Celebrities like Tracee Ellis Ross, Zendaya and Rihanna, who have all sported variations of the pineapple, prove that its appeal lies in its versatility – it can be dressed up for the red carpet or kept casual for everyday wear.
To achieve the pineapple hairstyle, Crème of Nature suggests these steps:
- Start with moisturised and detangled hair. Use a gentle shampoo to remove impurities.
- Condition the hair to hydrate and detangle curls, which will make gathering your hair into the perfect pineapple easier.
- You want to keep the frizz away. Try a smoothing product like Crème of Nature Pure Honey Knot Away Leave-In Condition to lock in moisture and provide a smooth foundation for styling.
- Flip your head upside down and gather your curls loosely into a ponytail at the top of your head, securing them with a soft scrunchie or hair tie. Avoid pulling too tightly to maintain volume and protect your edges. Crème of Nature Pure Honey Whip Twisting Cream will enhance your natural curl pattern and maintain hold without stiffness.
- For a polished finish, smooth the sides with a bit of gel or edge control. Crème of Nature Pure Honey Defense Curl Jelly to tame flyaways and add a polished finish.
This is also an easy style to transition to bouncy curls the next day. When you wake up simply spritz hair with Crème of Nature Pure Honey Break-Up Breakage Leave-In Treatment to restore moisture and revive curl definition.
