As cool as the style looks, if not styled the right way, a high top fade hairstyle can become a high-maintenance look. What do we mean? Well, if your hair isn’t moisturized the right way, this can cause single-strand knots—making it hard to detangle and style.
For day 4 of our Instagroom series, Sorrell is showing you how he keeps his high top fade looking fresh on a daily basis. While Sorrell managed to demonstrate his routine in under a minute, understand that with practice and a routine that works specifically for your hair, you too can spend less time styling your high top fade.
How to Refresh a High Top Fade Hairstyle
Read on as we unfold Sorell’s quick styling tips for how to refresh a high top fade:
Detangle with an afro pick.
This is the first and most important step in creating a fresh high top fade. You must detangle your hair. Pro tip: If your hair is on the drier side, add some water to a spray bottle and spritz your hair to make it more pliable. Gently pick through with your afro pick all over your hair until it’s tangle-free. If you did use the water trick, we suggest drying your hair first with a blow dryer before moving on to the next step.
Scoop some pomade for styling.
Quantity of product is key when it comes to keeping your high top fresh. All you need is just a fingertip amount of Axe Clean Cut Look: Classic Pomade. Trust us, a little goes a very long way. Too much can make your hair look anything but fresh.
Scrunch your hair.
For best results, stick to a scrunching method when applying your pomade. After rubbing the product between your palms to emulsify, scrunch it through the tips of your high top.
Fluff hair at the crown.
Go back in with your afro pick and fluff the crown of your hair to your liking.
Define your texture and curls.
If you like to have a high top fade afro with a little texture or curls, go ahead and twirl pieces of hair between your fingers. This will help enhance the definition of your style.
