Move over Curly Nikki! A new natural hair guru is in town. A 15 second Instagram clip shows 3-year-old Riley breaking down the steps to creating her very stylish faux hawk. 

From Huffington Post:

The tiny trendsetter, who hails from Houston, Texas, breaks down her rockin’ faux hawk in four simple steps:

1. Start with a twist-out.
2. Pin up both sides.
3. Pick your “woots,” aka roots.
4. Laugh hysterically.
