6 steps to a super-cool fauxhawk!

Our April issue (on newsstands now!) is all about hair, and in honor of the issue, Beauty Assistant Jillian is putting down her flat iron and challenging herself to 30 days of her natural curls! Follow along each week as Jillian shows you how to recreate one of the fun styles she'll be testing out during her 30 Days of Curls challenge.
I've spent years trying to figure out new, unique ways to rock my curls without a head full of frizz, and this is one of my faves. The fluffy fauxhawk is super cute, and it's MUCH chicer than my go-to messy bun. Check out the simple step-by-step below!



1. Separate the top third of your hair, and pull it back.
2. Twist the section into a loose bun, and secure with an elastic that matches your hair color.
3. Take the middle third of your hair and repeat steps 1 and 2. Make sure to line it up right below the first bun, so you start forming the "mohawk."
4. Pull the remainder of your hair back, and repeat steps 1 and 2.
5. Gently tug at the buns to make them fuller and fluffier, while getting them to form a perfect line.
6. Apply a little styling cream to smooth frizzies at the front, and you're done! Try adding some sparkly clips or cool hairpins to one of the sections if you want to dress up the look for prom.
