Faux buns are a great way to switch up your hairstyle while keeping your hair ends tucked away. Having a teeny weeny afro can get tiring especially if you run out of ideas on how to style your which is why I experimented with this and was glad it turned out well.
To achieve this style, I put my hair in 2 chunky braids about 2 days earlier to stretch my hair.

STEP 1
Moisturise your hair and finger detangle. I used a hair mist then followed with a leave-in conditioner.
Divide your hair into 2 parts (left and right) using your fingers then using your hairbrush, brush your hair well to smoothen it.
P.S. I used my fingers so that the partition would not be perfect and look less conspicuous.

Apply the gel to the 2 partitions made earlier using your finger tips and brush it out properly with the hair brush.
Get a section of the kinky extension and attach it to each mini puff using an elastic band.
NOTE Tah The quantity of extension you attach will determine the size of your faux bun

Twirl the kinky extension then roll it over as if you are trying to make a doughnut hairstyle then tuck it into the elastic band or secure with a bobby pin. Repeat the same for the other side.
