Twists
A twist is one of the most accessible and most versatile natural hairstyles for men. It works beautifully on any length of afro-textured hair and can be combined with fades, braids, or cornrows for added versatility.
Two-strand twists are effortless to create and maintain, perfect for creating and maintaining any desired length of two-strand twists. To do so successfully, clean hair should be prepared without tangles or knots before sectioning off for twisting and combing out any knots before turning the two sections over each other until your desired length has been reached.
Add hair extensions for longer-lasting and fuller twisted styles by layering Senegalese or Passion twist extensions onto your natural strands for additional volume and texture. To prevent the unraveling of your twists, spray some hair or gel over them!
French Braids
French braids are an iconic hairstyle that suits all occasions beautifully. Their romantic and feminine styling makes them suitable for pairing with accessories like flowers for an ethereal boho vibe. It is perfect for weddings and formal events, adding formality to your ensemble.
Add some color to your French braided look by incorporating colored string into your braid before crossing over the center – this will give it a unique and eye-catching appearance that will surely get noticed.
Pair this hairstyle with a shaved side for an edgier, more relaxed vibe. Shaving will add contrast and help the braid stand out more, providing an ideal way to show individuality and take risks! It is the perfect style choice for anyone wanting to be different and take risks.
Double Bun
This cute hairstyle is great for anyone who appreciates fishtail braids and double buns. This variation on a classic bun features gorgeously twisted strands of hair on top and front that lead to two tiny buns at the back of your head, creating an adorable effect!
This style offers something more playful than your regular bun, making a statement with messy or tousled locks. Additionally, it’s great for those with longer lengths to their locks who wish to try something a bit different!
Curls
Curls are an easy and stylish look that is perfect for any special event. Thompson says they work best when done on the second or third day of hair since natural oils give your tresses more texture while providing natural hold without needing extra products like mousse.
Part your hair into sections, applying some styling product to each. After detangling, twist it into Bantu knots (or some other braid). When finished, let it air-dry.
Use a hair texturizer to loosen tight curls, and remember to add shine with hair gloss or serum for maximum impact. Tie off braids using non-rubber elastics instead of rubber elastics (the latter can damage hair) for maximum retention; additionally, when styling curls, use relaxed settings on your dryer for optimal results.
