How to ask your stylist for this style
Ask for a "romantic, tousled low updo for curly hair." For the color, request a "soft black"—a natural, off-black shade, not a harsh, artificial jet black.
Tools:
Choosing Products
A curl cream with flaxseed and shea butter; a light, flexible-hold hairspray with a sugar-based polymer.
Step by step instructions to achieve style at home
On dry, curly hair, loosely gather sections of curls and pin them at the nape of the neck to create an unstructured bun.
Leave plenty of curly tendrils out to frame the face.
Caring for your hair
A well-constructed tousled updo can last all day.
The color is a classic single shade.
A gloss every 2-3 months will maintain the soft, natural black tone.

What is a "soft black" color?
"Soft black" is a Level 2 hair color, a very dark brown that appears black but has a softer, more natural finish than a Level 1 jet black, which can look harsh.
