11 Simple Hairstyles Every Naturalist Should Know About

Going natural with your hair is a rewarding decision, but it can also be frustrating if you're not quite sure what to do with it. When you're looking to change up your style or just trying to find your look for the day, try one of these simple variations to your natural hair.

High Bun

Buns are a simple classic perfect for natural hair. With the right pins and gel, you could style a bun for virtually any occasion, from work to weddings.

Twist and Scarf Updo

For a more intricate looking style that you can do easily, you can twist up the front of your hair when you put the back into an updo. Then tie a scarf around your hair to finish the look.

Bantu Knot Updo

For super long hair, a bantu knot can be the perfect and simple hair style. Put the knot in an updo with a cute scarf and you’re readt to go!

Traditional Afro

After gaining popularity in the ’70s, the traditional afro has since been an expressive and simple way to style natural hair.

Wrap It

Wrapping your hair is a simple and creative way to jazz up your look.

Pomp And Roll

Often rocked by the beautiful Janelle Monae, the pomp and roll is a great way to show artistic flair with your hair.

French Braid

Best with longer hair, French braids are an attractive way to keep your hair both manageable and stylish.

Frohawk

A natural spin on the classic mohawk, a frohawk can be accomplished by braiding or pinning up the hair.

Side Puff

This quirky style is great for women (like me) who favor one side over the other, or who just want to add a little more personality to their natural style.

Twists

Twists are becoming one of the most popular hairstyles for naturalists. They’re versatile and long-lasting, perfect for the hair-growing process.

Wash And Go

When first starting the natural hair process, it can be tough to know what exactly to do with your new short ‘do. When it doubt, just wash it out! One of the best parts of going natural is being able to just wash it and go while still being stylish.
