How to do Natural Hairstyles

(braidouts, twistouts, afros and more…)

Natural hairstyles can be extremely versatile. You can make natural hair look many different ways just be using braids, twist, rollers, or even spritzing it with water. I enjoy wearing different hairstyles with my natural hair.

In order to grow my hair long I wore protective natural hairstyles about 85% of the time. Specifically during the week I usually wore my hair up and then wore some type of loose or “down” style on the weekend. Even now that I have reached my goal length I usually save my loose hairstyles for the weekend.

It is possible to achieve natural hair growth while wearing loose hair styles but I honestly think it would take the average women with a kinkier texture of hair longer to grow their hair to maximum length if the majority of the styles are loose. The only exception I can see to this is if the style worn is one that does not rub on your clothing or shoulders etc…

So I encourage you to have fun with your natural hair, wear it up, down and various ways…. most importantly find a hair care routine that works for you and stick with it. Hopefully some of these tips and tutorials can build up your natural hairstyling skills.
