Pineappling is a very popular way of styling curly hair. It’s great for styling your hair overnight since your hair is piled on the top of your head, giving you great results when you take it out the next day. The hair ends up looking like it’s in the shape of a pineapple, which explains the name!
It’s actually a very simple thing to do. Start off by gathering the hair and putting it into a high ponytail, then, grab a scrunch over the top of the pineapple, and put it in a loose tension. Let one half of the curls fall on one side, and the other half of the curls fall to the other side. If you can, you should try to sleep in a satin or silk pillowcase to further protect your curls overnight. All you need to do then is take it down the next morning by taking the scrunchie out. Then just shake the hair out. Once you have done this, you will have gorgeous curls with minimal effort! It can help to spray your usual styling products on the hair when you wake up to make it look the way that you want it to.
When pineappling the hair, don’t put it in a hair tie - you need to use fabric or a scrunchie to tie the hair. You don’t want there to be a big crease in the hair, after all. Oh, and don’t fluff the hair with the fingers afterwards. It’s best to avoid frizz!
