Natural Curls

Embrace your natural texture! Whether you have tight coils, loose waves, or anything in between, rocking your natural curls is a beautiful and low-maintenance option.

Box Braids

Box braids are a classic protective style that provides versatility and can be customized with different lengths and colours. They offer a break from daily manipulation and promote hair growth. A lot of people with active busy lifestyles enjoy the looks that can be achieved with box braids. Whether in a high bun, cascading down your back or short with curly ends - there are endless ways to customize and personalize this style.

Twist Outs

If you’re looking for defined curls - a twist-out is the way to go! This style involves twisting sections of hair (typically using a holding or mouse product) and then unravelling them, when dry, to create a bouncy, textured look. Twist outs can be worn as is, or styled into a unique look.

Cornrows

Cornrows are a timeless choice for a sleek, protective style. They can be simple or intricate, and you can even add beads or accessories for extra flair. Braiding designs into cornrow styles has been a popular way to individualize this classic look for decades. 

Afro

The afro is a symbol of pride and self-expression. It’s effortless yet bold as it celebrates the iconic natural volume and texture of black hair. Rocking your afro is always a great look - and it allows you to easily care for your hair from scalp to tip! 

Bantu Knots

Bantu knots are not only stylish but also help create beautiful curls when undone - similar to a twist out. You can experiment with different sizes and patterns and then enjoy beautifully bouncy curls when you’re ready to switch it up.

Faux Locs

Faux locs offer the look of traditional dreadlocks without the long-term commitment. They come in various sizes and lengths, allowing for creative expression. Like box braids that can be worn in many different styles.

Senegalese Twists

Senegalese twists are another protective style that adds length and versatility. You can wear them down, in a ponytail, or even in an undo. Their relaxed twists look soft and airy to the eye. They often serve as a great style for tropical or vacation destinations.

Wigs and Weaves

Wigs and weaves offer endless possibilities. You can switch-up your style, colour, and length without altering your natural hair. They are often regarded as a protective style of choice for this reason, or a low-commitment way to decide if you would like a more permanent long-term change to your natural hair - like colouring. 

Hair Accessories

You can elevate any hairstyle with the right accessories. Headbands, scarves, and hairpins add a touch of elegance and can transform a simple look. They’re an easy way to take a look from day-to-night or everyday to special occasion. 

Big Chop

If you’re feeling bold, the big chop is a liberating experience. It involves cutting off your relaxed or damaged hair to start anew with your natural texture.

Colourful Experiments

Don’t be afraid to experiment with vibrant hair colours like red, blue, or purple. Temporary dyes and extensions offer a chance to switch up your look.

Updos

Updos are perfect for special occasions or everyday elegance. Try styles like braided buns, high puffs, or sleek ponytails. Updos do not always require you to manipulate, cover or alter your natural hair so consult your hair stylist on what can be done to achieve this look according to your overall hair-health goals.

Locs

Traditional locs are a timeless style that represents strength and culture. They require patience but offer a unique and enduring look. They are a mostly permanent style, so that should be considered before pursuing. However, locs can be just as versatile as natural hair depending on the loc size and desired length. Just google the Loc queens - sisters, Chloe and Halle.

Black hair is a canvas for endless creativity and self-expression. Whether you’re celebrating your natural texture, trying a protective style, or experimenting with colours and accessories, there are countless ways to showcase the beauty and versatility of black hair. Embrace the freedom to express yourself and change your style as often as you like, knowing that your options are limitless.
