Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Step 1: Take care of your hair.

    Consider having your hair dyed at a salon professionally, it will turn out looking better and the hairdresser will know what is the perfect color for you.

    Keep your hair long and healthy.

    After having your hair dyed, it's time to start taking care of it.

    Wash your hair whenever it gets even a little oily, with a good and nice smelling shampoo and conditioner.

    After washing it, try using a serum. #*To get Ali's hairstyle, remember she straightens maybe 7 times every year.

    Her hair is usually always done in someway whether it was braided overnight or turned up and inward at the ends.

    For her signature hairstyle, take some hair that you want to sit on the front of your shoulders and leave the rest on your back.

    Then curl the front hair tightly and the hair on your back more loosely, but still noticeably curly.

    Remember away from the face.

    Another style is to get a strand of hair from the upper-right side of your hair, the part by your face.

    Not a handful, but where bangs might be (don't get bangs).

    Twist it to the bottom, or braid it halfway.

    Get the braid or the twist, and clip or pin it to the side of your head.

    Repeat on the other side.

    When you complete this, get some good-smelling spray gel, and spray it lightly over the outside of all your hair.

    Then get good quality hairspray, and spray it on the little twist-or-braid things, including the clips.

    But remember to curl the bottom still.
