The Best Thing About Growing Out My Natural Afro Hair? Acceptance

For this style, I was inspired by Lupita Nyong'o stacked bun hairstyle she wore to the 2016 Met Gala. I took the passion twists and secured them with a hair tie in the centre of my head. Then, I very carefully twisted a few strands at a time around the centre point to make this architectural-looking stacked bun. I felt so regal, and dressed up, and the tension gave me a temporary face lift — ha! This was definitely one of my favorite natural hairstyles that I've ever tried!
