The pineapple updo is by far one the best hairstyles and techniques that every curly-haired girl should know. What we love the most about the pineapple, besides the fact that it helps extend the life of your curly hairstyles while you sleep, is that it is such a versatile hairstyle. Our favorite way to sport the look these days is as a pineapple frohawk. That’s right: We took some inspiration from the edgy mohawk style and decided to turn the pineapple updo into what we call the pineapple fro hawk.

Ready to give your pineapple a fresh look? Read on to learn how you can create the pineapple frohawk in just a few easy steps:

How to Create a Pineapple Frohawk

Place a medium or large elastic headband around your neck as if you were putting on a choker accessory. Slide the band up onto your hair to create a ponytail, which is also known as the pineapple style. If needed, pin the headband in place using bobby pins.
