This is not a style I would actually wear anywhere. I'm just surprised that I was able to get all of my hair up and out of my face. I found have too much hair to pull off the method used in the video so here is what I did.
1. french roll & clip for the hair in the back
2. bantu knots for the hair in the front
3. see the pictures below
