Say this at the chair

A short natural afro: an even 2 to 3 cm all over, rounded to my head shape, natural edges.

Top
An even 2 to 3 cm of coils.
Sides
The same length as the top, rounded.
Back
The same length, rounded to the nape.
Styling
A light leave-in and a little curl cream on damp hair. Two to five minutes.
Grow-out
