Curly Fro Semi Fail

Since moving to New York I've been trying to figure out hair styles that keep me from walking out of the house with wet hair. The other day I tried this Curly Fro with a modified technique. It came out ok. Pleaser watch the tutorial below and below the video I'll explain what I would have done differently. 

Modifications:

1. Make smaller sections or keep in a day longer
2. Section hair into 3 sections instead of 2
3. Comb the ends of my hair

Verdict: I will definitely try this style again. Also I loved my hair the 5th day.

You guys asked for it on my Instagram, so here it is. Below is the tutorial for the crop top I was wearing in Spring Crop. Show my how you rock this DIY on Instagram with the hashtag #swankstylista.

DIY Steps:

1. Cut sleeves off to make long arm holes
2. Cut back of shirt in half, straight down the middle, from hem to neckline
3. Measure desired length and cut
4. Make two half-moon shape cuts from the neck to the end of the top, horizontally and be sure not to cut off the collar (Be sure to leave at least 1 inch straps)
5. Once on, tie at the collar and at the bottom to secure the crop top in place
6. Style as desired
