Homecoming Hairstyles for Coarse Hair

Keyshia Cole's sleek bun with its crown of curly-cues is perfect for weddings and proms. Get her style: 1. To create this look, begin with flat-ironed, perfectly straight strands. Brush hair back into a high ponytail and secure with an elastic band. 2. Separate the hair coming out of the ponytail into several thick sections. Twist each into a cinnamon bun-like (mmmmm, sticky buns) shape and pin in place at the base of the pony. 3. Spray the style with a strong hold hairspray to secure.

Kelly Rowland's sexy, shiny 'do is perfect for a glam event. Tips to get her look: 1. Budget plenty of time. You're going to need to wind all your hair in small, even sections around a curling iron, so that in the end, your curls all match. 2. Apply a rich conditioning styling cream from roots to ends of damp hair.3. Let it air dry to 80 percent, then finish with a diffuser, to encourage curls. 4. Wrap 1-inch sections of hair around a small 1-inch curling iron. (Brush each section first for smooth results.) 5. Once curls are cool, gently finger comb to separate curls, and mist lightly with shine spray.
