Natural Hairstyles – Part I

Natural Hairstyles – Part I

Natural black hair is very versatile and may be styled in many ways.  I can remember going to the salon when relaxed and loving the swing & feel of my hair, but hating the fact that every other woman in there who was being styled hopped up out of the chair looking just like me!  That was scary!  They had us hopping up out of our seats after paying $45, just to look like every other woman in the salon.  Never again I say!

Remember no two natural heads are alike…there is so much versatility involved when referring to natural hair. You may see a style on one person’s head that you would love to try, yet you may never be able to repeat it exactly on your own head, but that is okay too.  That just shows the level of uniqueness and individuality that is involved when it comes to natural hair.

The AFRO

Self Explanatory! The afro is the classic style for a natural.  You can achieve it through the wash-n-go method, the blowout method, and many other ways.  Once you have it, there is very low manipulation required thereafter.  The afro can be the perfect accessory!  It feels great to rock it out and to wear it boldly!

The Curly Fro

Very popular in the natural hair community [made even more popular by ItsMsHeatherNicole featured in the video below], the curly fro is a style that is done for an easy, care-free look without compromising the curly-ness or the cuteness!

The Braid-Out

This style may be achieved by doing cornrows or plaits on the hair after washing and partially air-drying it. Let the braids stay in until completely dry. Take the braids out, fluff, and go! [Youtube vid provided by curlychronicles]

This is only part one of a series.  These styles are only a few shades of the wide spectrum to show what natural hair is capable of!  Stay tuned for the complete series! Until next time, Happy Healthy Hair Styling!!!
