Get The Look
- The success of Raheem’s tapered Afro is all down to the curl definition.
- Start on dry hair and use an Afro pick. Then apply pomade to speed up the curl-forming process.
- Using a curl sponge, start at the crown of the head and rub it in a circular motion clockwise around the head for 1-5 minutes.
- You can smooth any flyaways into shape with your palms and a dab of matte paste. Less is more – you want your hair to have hold, but not be stiff.
