Finale to Natural Hair Week: My Top 10 Natural Hair Styles EVER

1)I love the wash and go. It's easy, always cute in my opinion and hardly ever fails you.



2)The Afro puff is QUINTESSENTIAL! It's the natural sister's ponytail, except it's spunkier and has way more attitude. It does not hang limp, it's out and forms a halo around that gorgeous head. I LOVE my puffs. Main reason why I have not done my lowboy again (though I really want to). I also notice I look way younger with an Afro puff (something I don't always like lol).




3)Vintage upsweeps are kind of new to the stage, but they're so vintage and awesome. I also like that it's another way to prove that natural hair is indeed versatile, even more so than relaxed hair.



4)The frohawk has gotten even more popular, and I can see why. I LOVE the frohawk. It's punk and it's natural. My next twist move...



5) Locs are classic and timeless. Here's Chanel from Junkprints! She's rocking them live and in living color. Check out Junkprints for some bad ass swag and Matilda! She's the natural girl's Hello Kitty!



6) The tapered Afro is also new this year, but it's actually been around for some time. The indomitable Grace Jones killed it back in the 80s. Glad to see sisters are bringing it back.



7) The twistout is a fave. Want to play with a different texture? Try the twistout.



8) The Afro Blowout for ME is the holy grail of afrodom. My goal this go round is to grow the BADDEST Afro in my entire life. I just want a big old head of Afro.



9) Twists! Twists are my favorite because they are cute and they are like two hairstyles in one. When you twist them out, you've got another hairstyle.



10) Last but CERTAINLY not least, is the lowboy or teenie weenie Afro (TWA). I don't care what your hair texture is, I LOVE the lowboy. When a sister rocks that baby, I'm captivated. I like Solange's take on it with the part. That will be my next move as it is so Josephine Baker/1920s glam-ish.

This is my top ten list! I've had fun doing Natural Hair Week. Remember that it's every day, of every year, but it's good to celebrate, right?

If you have a site that features natural hair that I've overlooked, please add it in comments so I can add you to the blog roll too!
