Have a natural hairstyle on hand to save time on wash day or simply change up your look – here are 10 stylish styles that’ll have you looking stunning in no time.
Create a sophisticated low ponytail by creating a deep side part and adding volume with curls or bangs for added style.
Drawstring Ponytail
One of the latest trends in natural hair styling is the drawstring ponytail. Easy and natural looking, these ponytail nets feature comb attachments at their bases so you can clip in your own locks before wrapping around a ponytail, braid, or bun.
Molly or Maddy ponytails are two styles beloved by women with curly locks! Both can be created using INFINI-FLEX which makes them simple to blend in with individual curl patterns – great for parties! Plus they make for quick in and out styles.
To create the natural look of a drawstring ponytail, always begin with dry, tangle-free hair. Use a sulfate-free shampoo and deep condition. This will prevent frizzing or tangling with your ponytail and keeps natural locks moisturized properly to help avoid lines of demarcation between your own locks and where your ponytail begins and ends.
Curly Clip-Ins
Curly hair has made an inroad in fashion recently, making it easier than ever to achieve waist-length curls with clip-in extensions. Caitlyn Martyn of Byrdie Commerce tested various wavy and curly extensions brands to determine which ones were worth their money. Here, she presents her top picks of curly clip-ins available. Indique’s 100% human hair extensions are perfect for both wavy and curly locks, featuring their “Peace” texture with tightly coil curls and looser ringlets that seamlessly integrate into your strands for a look that feels totally natural. Plus, heat-safe clip-ins offer styling versatility when blow-dried, colored, or straightened for effortless style versatility!
High Ponytail
The classic high ponytail boasts timeless glamour and can suit virtually every hair texture. Perfect for red carpet events and daily life alike, creating this style requires natural or human clip-in hair extensions long enough for weaving into weaved ponytails. Another way to elevate a ponytail is with braids and laid baby hairs, like this stunning version on Megan Thee Stallion. Or try Tyra Banks’ high ponytail with fringe for inspiration. To achieve this look, part your hair behind one ear and leave the front section alone for now. Gather the remainder into a low ponytail, and wrap a small section of your own hair around its base to cover any elastic bands and create an authentic salon-grade finish. This will give your ponytail layers of volume with no visible elastic band visible at its base – giving a stunning layered appearance!
Updo
Updos add an elegant touch to any look. Perfect for formal events like proms and weddings, they also look stunning when worn daily – with styles like ponytails, double buns, and braids being easy to create for everyday use. Thick naturally curly hair can be showcased with a jumbo bun featuring loose tendrils near the face. For special events or holidays, this style can be made even more striking by adding real or faux flowers of feminine colors into its design. Janelle Monae’s playful space buns are an effortless style that looks fantastic on anyone. Perfect for days when you want to let your natural texture show through without washing your locks every single time, just be sure to spritz with light hold hairspray to maintain this look throughout the evening!
