We will never get tired of saying that curly hair is already a style statement as it is because one, it’s absolutely true and second, there’s no lie to it. Kidding aside, the kulot salot ideology is long gone and people are loving all the waves and coils. But of course, the struggle of managing them isn’t something we could skip. To help every kulot girl out there, here’s a simple guide on how to create a curly hair updo with scarf.

Curly Half Updo with Scarf
