#1: Long Curls with Long Bangs

Long curls paired with long bangs on naturally curly hair is giving all the body we need! To keep your look from falling flat, layers have been added to remove extra weight and keep the volume, and yet it's still long enough for ponytails. If you have naturally loose curls, ask your stylist if this is the right cut and style for you.

#2: Gorgeous Curls with Volume

How about some gorgeous curls with volume this weekend?! Best on short natural hair, this can be achieved with either a small curl rod set or a small twist out depending on your natural curl pattern. To maintain your style and volume at home, keep a set of foam rods to re-wrap the curls sometimes, as well as a light finishing spray without the strong hold of a freeze spray.

The afro is a timeless style that has been worn by African-American women for decades. It's a simple and beautiful way to show off your natural curls. Use the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie to keep your curls bouncy and beautiful.

#7: Fluffy Natural Bob Haircut with Blonde Highlights

Check out this fluffy natural bob. Over the past several years, more black women have been opting to go natural without chemical relaxers. No chemical straightening equates to thicker and healthier hair, making this style a frequent go-to to show off healthy hair. Ask your stylist for some light color or highlights to add a little depth and jazz to your natural curls.

#8: Full Pineapple Updo

Get finessed with a full natural afro ponytail. Braids and beads are your best friend when this style comes up.

#9: Bantu Knots for Natural Hair

Bantu knots for natural hair have become one of my favorite protective styles since I started transitioning my hair from perm damage. It can be done with short or long hair and it can be done with different hair ranging from type 2 hair to type 4 hair.

I mostly like it because I can wear it for a couple of days without it getting messy. Before unraveling my Bantu knots I usually just do some small accessorizing with a cute set of earrings and rock it all day just like that. I get my best curl definition when I use a product that is lightweight leave-in cream for example, "ORS Olive pudding". Just make sure to use a small amount so just a fingertip full is enough. I usually cover my hair with a satin scarf when I sleep so that my hair is protected.

#10: Healthy and Natural Top Knot

This look would best be described as a half up and a half down hairstyle. The intricate bun style at the top is made up of ten years worth of growth long beautiful healthy natural locs. My favorite thing about this style is showing the woman's length of hair but also being able to show the versatility of styles the length of hair can do.

The advice I would give is to purchase a jumbo size Marley Cap for that length of hair to keep the style fresh and decrease frizz from the fresh retwist. I also like Wild Grow hair oil to keep the scalp moisturized as well as the locs so the hair does not dry out over time with the style.

#11: Carefree Jumbo Box Braids

Sometimes you don't want to wait hours on top of hours to get a head full of box braids done on your head. Sometimes you just want to get out the door and go about your day, but still look alluring and conversational. This is the protective hairstyle to do just that!

Jumbo box braids, which consist of approximately 18-21 braids, look simply beautiful, carefree, and effortless. My favorite thing about this style is the fusion of colors, size, and length of the braids. I love the freedom of weight with 21 braids as opposed to 80-100 braids, which can be too much!

I believe the hairstyle doesn't make the person, but the person (any person) can make the hairstyle. For example, this beauty has naturally curly, waist-length hair, so it's cool to see extensions that can be worn, despite hair differences. You would just need more packaged hair extensions so that they can exceed your own naturally long hair.

It's all about confidence. As long as you have enough hair, speaking to my short-haired women, at least four to five inches of hair to grip and weave into the hair extensions, you're good to go!

#12: Tapered Fro for Naturally Short Hair

I would describe this haircut as a dark tapered fro with natural curls. I recommend this style for women with three to four inches of hair. It can be achieved with longer hair but will require more work.

I recommend a leave-in moisturizing lotion to prep the hair and a curl sponge to achieve the natural twist. The sides are then laid down with a small comb or soft brush.

This look is perfect for women with a more oval face as the curves accentuate these features. It's recommended for women who work in the creative field or a more relaxed atmosphere.

#13: Straight Braided

This is a crochet braid style created with Freetress Pre-Looped Crochet Braid. I love that it is straight, not curly like most crochet styles. To style, I recommend a hair polish and a hair sheen. All hair types can wear this look. I do not recommend it to any woman that is a gym addict because too much sweat will affect the style.

#14: Fashion-Forward Cute Curly Bangs

Be proud and flaunt your roots, literally! Look majestic while fashioning tight curls.

#15: Natural Two-Strand Twists

Find a hairstylist that knows her way around black locks. Protective and stylish, this is a classic natural hairstyle that will live on. The term "silk press" is mainly associated with and used in the African American community as it describes the art of pressing the hair until it is silky straight. This particular style is suitable for all hair textures, as the key component to this particular style is the shampoo process and products used before styling.

#16: Effortless and Voluminous Curls

These voluminous curls are effortless. They have tons of volume up top with just the right amount of face-framing curls. You would maintain natural hairstyles like this look by doing a pineapple or mini pineapples at night. In the morning, release the curls and spray a curl refresher to shake everything back into shape.

This hairstyle is for a woman with a looser curl pattern (Type 3a-4a). Any face shape can wear this because the face-framing can be customized. This is the perfect look for women who have minimal time to do their hair and needs three to four days of wear before restyling.

#17: Bouncy Curls for Natural Hair

Opt for a Deva Cut. Curly girls that have never tried a Deva Cut before usually lose some length with their first cut. This shape in particular helps them feel like their hair is more manageable, but still has some length to it. I love that this cut for natural hair gives the hair some shape and style, but keeps you feeling like she didn't cut a ton of hair off.

Start out by cleansing your hair with Devacurl Decandence Conditioning Cleanser. After rinsing that out, detangle using the Devacurl Decandence Conditioner. Rinse the conditioner out just enough to get the residue out and leave some in her hair to act as a leave-in moisturizer. While the hair is very wet,  spray some Mizani Miracle Milk in for added moisture.

In four to five sections,  put in the styling products. First, put some Devacurl Supercream mixed with Mizani supreme oils. Then over that, layer in Devacurl Ultra Defining Gel and Devacurl B'Leave-In. Then get under the dryer for a bit before breaking up the curls to give some fullness.

Another positive to this haircut is that it is versatile for a lot of face shapes and hair types ( i.e. curly, super curly)! It's for girls that do spend some time styling their hair and don't like to wear it up much. It's a very fun and bouncy cut that can be styled in many different ways by simply changing the part or amount of volume you choose to have that day with your hair.

The best thing about this cut is that after the first day of styling, the curls start to open up to a much fuller, bouncier style. If you curly girls like volume and bounce, this is the cut for you!

#18: Super Versatile Crochet Twists

These are crochet twists. I love this look because it's a super quick hairstyle for natural hair and it's very versatile. You can wear them in a ponytail, completely down, half up/half down…the options are endless!

This style is very low maintenance. I recommend wearing a silk bonnet or sleep on a silk pillowcase at night to prolong the longevity of this hairstyle.

To recreate this look, you'll need a crochet hook and six bags of Janet Collection Havana Mambo pre-twisted crochet hair, also called Havana Hair. The hair needs to be braided in eight to ten straight-back cornrows before using the crochet hook to hook the pre-twisted hair onto the braid.

This hairstyle can be for anyone regardless of hair type, race, or age. The pre-twisted crochet hair comes in a variety of sizes, lengths, and colors, so there is something for everyone.

#19: Graduated Curly Bob on Natural Hair

I would describe this haircut as an asymmetrical graduated curly bob on natural hair. I love his look because the layering allows you to see the beautiful curl patterns. This layering prevents curls from falling flat and looking bottom-heavy whilst enhancing volume.

I'm so glad we're finally getting over the view that curly hair needs to be tamed or less voluminous. Embrace that BIG curly hair!

Curly hair naturally lacks moisture, so it's essential to use hydrating curl-friendly products to restore moisture and define curl pattern. It's important to note that when choosing products, look for ones that are sulfate and silicone-free as these ingredients dry the hair.

The beauty of this cut is that it can be worn by both wavy and super curly hair. The most important thing is to maintain healthy curls by ensuring curls are cleansed and deep conditioned for at least a week and by applying the correct styling products.

#20: Natural and Elegant Updo

I would describe this look as a simple and elegant updo that can also be worn as a casual, day-to-day hairstyle for natural hair. My absolute favorite thing about this look is how both buns are intertwined, creating a rope-like formation. The thickness makes them very prominent.

The products I recommend to recreate this look are two packages of Kanekalon Braiding Hair, hair Pins and bobby pins, medium-sized rubber bands, a rattail comb, a brush, Eco Styler Gel (with no alcohol), and jumbo styling wraps. Maintain this look day to day with Edge Control and a silk or satin hair wrap.

I recommend this look for a woman who has medium to long hair. It would be suitable for a natural hair lady with hair types 3b, 3c, 4a, 4b, and/or 4c. Heat does not have to be applied to the hair to recreate this style, but the choice is optional.

This look compliments oval, round and heart-shaped faces and brings out the best features. Whether you are considering this style for an event or simply something different, this look is ideal for anyone from the everyday career woman to the stay-at-home mom to the athlete.

#21: Rainbow Curls for Short Hair

I would describe this look as fun, in style, and definitely a sophisticated and gentle way to wear rainbow hair. My favorite thing about natural hairstyles like this is how seven different colors can blend perfectly together in a big full Afro.

To maintain this look, I will always recommend using a cleansing conditioner instead of shampoo. It gently cleanses and conditions the hair and the color won't be affected by overwashing, definitely giving your color more longevity. Always keep in mind to shampoo as little as possible.

The good thing about these bright colors is that as they fade out, they will become soft and softer pastels. My favorite and only product used on the model was the Curl Define Pudding from Mizani.

I will totally recommend this look to someone with healthy hair. These beautiful colors require pre-lightening the hair to blonde, and that can affect the texture and pattern of the curls. The style you see in the picture was created with a leave-in conditioner and a diffuser to disperse air evenly around the curls, gently drying the hair and improving definition.

#22: Jumbo Loc Plaits

These are "jumbo loc plaits" or simply "plaits". I absolutely love this natural style because it allows the woman to have the freedom of wearing their locs down without being in the face, as well as tied back to give a neat and professional look.

The product I recommend to recreate this look is called LocN Gel. LocN Gel is the best product that I've come across thus far. This product doesn't leave the scalp itchy or dry and it leaves any style looking perfect for weeks. The best thing about it is that it doesn't contain any unwanted or harmful chemicals that most other brands have.

I recommend this look for anyone who is looking for something different, fun, and low maintenance. If you have locs, try it out! Especially if your locs are medium length to passing the shoulders. This style lasts a long time and once taken out, the hair will have a beautiful crinkly pattern. Locs can be done on loose to very tight coily hair, so once the locs are established, the styling can begin!

#24: Blended Fade

This is a very simple and easy yet sophisticated natural haircut! My favorite thing about this style is the uniform blended fade. I recommend this style to the natural woman who is constantly on the go and wants a style with very minimal maintenance! To style, use a light moisturizing oil sheen for shine and moisture.

#25: Beautiful and Natural Crochet Braids

Also known as latch hook braids, this natural hair style involves weaving hair extensions at the roots. Fuller hair with the desired styling may then be achieved.

#26: Voluminous Natural Curls

Go for some voluminous natural curls if you're ready to show off your natural hair without any extensions. Black women with 3c hair texture or close to can achieve this look with healthy and maintained hair. You and your stylist should consistently keep up with healthy hair and trimming practices for the absolute best results and reactions when you let your curls out.

#27: 3b Curls with Blonde Highlights

3b curls look incredible with highlights, especially blonde highlights. Curly girls will notice an increase in texture definition when lightness is added to the hair. As the blonde is pulled through, each strand twists and turns, causing light to bounce in different directions. This creates pops of movement within your coils, allowing light to reflect rather than retract.

#28: Natural Kinky Coils

Wear your natural kinky coils and be proud of how beautiful they are. Keeping up on regular trims helps to keep your hair healthy and your curls defined and beautiful. Curly hair is the driest of all hair types, so keeping washing to a minimum is ideal, and a good care regimen is a must. Try curl defining LEAVE-IN conditioner for added moisture and the coil, kink, and curl styling cream for hold and nourishment.
