Natural hairstyles – How to create an easy back tuck

3. Cornrows

This is unquestionably one of the most iconic hair trends, and hairstylists have figured various ways of making the hairstyle funkier every season. From the classic centre-parted plaits to detailed updos, cornrows are definitely the hairstyle for you when looking for a classy and a cozy hairstyle to wear for a shorter period of time.

?I’m not so big on protective styles because so many people lack the patience needed for natural hair? and honestly there aren’t many people that I trust with my hair?…But next week I’ll be trying something different because my cousin works magic with her hands on hair?? I can’t wait??? #afro #protectivestyles #4chair #hair #blackgirlsrock

4. Long, wavy weave

There’s something powerful about women who wear long weave. It portrays confidence and the “I know what I want attitude”. If you have a nicely shaped forehead or a low forehead, you’ll look best with a style that’s brushed back from the face.

Good Morning ?? keep warm out there and have a blessed week ✨✨

5. Locks

Locks are synthetic dreadlocks that have been trending for some time. These locked bobs are very similar to braided extensions, they are quick and easy to install. This is one option for ladies who love dreadlocks. However, don’t want to have them permanently.
