2. Niobe From the Matrix (Bantu Knots)
If I had to think of one of the baddest chicks in cinema it would definitely be Jada Pinkett as Niobe in the Matrix. Strong. Beautiful. Independent.- she was all of that! Youtuber and the other half of UrbanBushBabes, Nikisha, shows us how to achieve Niobes’ signature look- those beautiful bantu knots in the tutorial below!
Products Used to Achieve This Style:
Spritz– Good Ole’ H20
Moisturizer-Camile Rose Natural Moisture Butter or any moisturizer you would like.
Gel– Kinky* Curly Custard or any moisturizer you would like.
Hair Length Needed to Achieve This Style:
You can achieve this hairstyle with hair length. And since you are doing bantu knots, which is not only a style but also a form of stretching your hair, you do not need to stretch you your prior to re-creating this style.
3. Susie from the Rugrats
When I was a kid, Rugrats was one of my favorite cartoons and Susie Carmichael was one of my favorite characters, I loved her because she was like the big sister of Tommy and his friends. So when I saw this tutorial, I was too tickled! In the video below, Youtuber CharyJay shows us how she achieved Susies’ look! Check it out:
Products Needed to Achieve This Style:
2 packs of Marley Hair
1 pack of pipe cleaners- To wrap the Marley hair around. You can also use wire, which will probably help the twists hang in the air like Susies.
Flower Hair Pins/ Clips
Ponytail Holders
Comb- To Part your hair into clean sections
Hair Length Needed to Achieve This Style:
As long as your hair can easily be put into three puffs/buns/ponytails , you can achieve this style. Since extensions* are used in this tutorial, it is not necessary for you to have long hair. If you have short hair, it will probably be easier to stretch the hair via bantu knots, twists, braids, banding, African threading, or whatever stretching method you would like to use.
4. Medusa
Ohh, Medusa! Miss Im-going-to-turn-everyone-who-looks-at-me-into-stone is one of the greatest evil female creatures of our time or anyones time as a matter of fact. Who better to be for Halloween than she? And through Youtuber Chescaleigh conquering the look of Medusa via her locs, you can’t get any fiercer than that!
Products Needed to Achieve This Style:
Aluminum Foil Wire- To wrap locs around so that they could stick up
Wire Cutters – To cut the wires
Plastic Snake Toy Heads- To put on the ends of the locs
Hair Length Needed to Achieve This Style:
This tutorial is best suited for long locs, but if you have faux locs than you should be able to achieve this style. You can also try this style with 2 strand twists if you aren’t a loc’d lady.
That’s it guys! I hope that you like these tutorials and if you are celebrating Halloween let us know what you are going to be in the comments below!
