Natural hair in the black community has come a long way.
In the past, black women were not proud of their natural kinky hair and tried to make it straight by all means possible ( relaxers and flat irons).
However, that has since changed as more and more black women are coming out and openly showcasing their natural hair, styling it in various ways.
The rise of black natural hair content creators and the increasing availability of natural hair products on the market have contributed significantly to the growing natural hair movement.
Do you think we are lying? The #Naturalhairstyles hashtag has more than 10 million posts across social media platforms, and that buzz isn’t going to die down anytime soon.
We are delighted that more and more black women are finally embracing their natural hair, whether kinky or curly, and discovering various ways to style it.
Today’s blog post features 55 stunning natural hair hairstyles that will inspire you for your next natural hairdo.

How to style and take care of your natural hair
1. Regularly use a leave-in conditioner to moisturize your hair strands. This is our recommendation, as it absorbs quickly into the hair, has a slippery consistency, and leaves your hair very moisturized.
2. Always use a heat protectant spray when styling your hair to protect it from heat damage.
3. Use mousse and styling gel to define your curls. Look for mousse that dries quickly and doesn’t weigh down the hair, and use gels with strong hold for sleek back styles and laying edges.
4. Use a rinse-out conditioner and a nourishing, cleansing shampoo to make detangling your hair manageable, bringing back moisture while softening it.
5. Try using an overnight conditioner you sleep with to make your hair soft and strengthen your hair strands.
6. Use a hair butter to lock in moisture for days and add shine to your hair strands while you grow it out.
7. Use your favorite herbal hair growth oil to stimulate hair growth and add shine to your hair.
8. Always use a detangling brush, a Denman brush for defining curls, a wide-tooth comb for little to no hair breakage, and a scalp massager to stimulate blood flow and promote hair growth.
