Wild curls, braids, cornrows, locs, flat twists, afros and puffs….there are more ways to style black women’s natural hair than ever before. But many black women still perceive natural hair as being masculine and un-kept. Nothing could be further from the truth! If you’re considering natural hair and are looking for ideas to glam up your ‘do, look no further!


Classic Hair Styles

Peek-a-boo bangs, buns, ringlets, and pin curls, oh my! In the quest for the most modern, cutting edgenaturalhairstyles available let’s not forget the elegance and femininity that shine from vintage styles! Jazz up ponytails and buns with basket weaves, loose curls, and bangs for some sophisticated spunk. Many classic hairstyles also have the advantage of being protective styles that keep your tresses from harm by shielding your ends from the elements. Bonus!


Hair Ties, Hair Bands, Bows, and Clips

Nothing spices up a hairstyle faster than a cute accessory, and there are more than enough on the marketing to choose from. Tired of girlie bows and hair clips? Consider pearls, beads, and rhinestones to liven up your look. Want something special for the summer months? Think of natural wood, flowers, and bright colors from the islands! With an endless selection available and affordable prices, you really can’t go wrong stocking up on hair accessories to complement your natural hairstyles.

Head Bands, Scarves, and Pins

We’re not talking about the plain, ordinary bands and pins here, we’re talking about fabric patterns and textures that speak to your unique sense of style and your mood. Put that black headband back in the drawer, and think of silks, chiffons, stretch velvets, florals, paisleys, and graphic prints! The sky is the limit!

Hats

Contrary to popular belief, hats aren’t always for bad hair days (although some days a hat can really be a lifesaver). Fedoras, newsboy hats, berets, and cocktail hats can instantly change your whole look, and provide the icing on the cake when matched with the perfect shoe. Hats can also protect your hair on days when the air is extremely dry and cold or when the hot sun is blazing overhead. Look for hats the fit comfortably, are lined with a soft material on the inside to prevent breakage, and that don’t attract lint.
