12 Ways to Style Natural Hair
Are you tired of thinking about a new hairstyle? Then you are in the right place!
Below are some unique ways you can style your natural hair with minimal stress:
1. Short Tapered Cut
Tapered cuts are an ideal option for women who want short, low-maintenance hair that is as well versatile. With this style, the sides and back of your hair will be cut a bit shorter than the middle, which in turn lets you shape your hair as it pleases you.
2. Half Cornrows
This is yet another unique way to style your natural hair. It is a combination of cornrows and an afro and thus making you appear sexier and more beautiful.
3. Buzzcut
When cutting your hair, you can decide to either subtly trim off a few inches, or better still go big and begin fresh with a unique, clean shave. Buzzcuts require low maintenance and helps in conserving the time you’d have wasted on your usual hour-long hair routine.
4. Teeny Weeny Afro [TWA]
Teeny Weeny Afro is somewhat tricky as they are not as long as many other styling methods, nor do they require low maintenances like buzzcut.
5. High Puff
High puff is an extremely low-maintenance style and requires just a headband. Once you have brushed your hair up, all you need do next is to slide the band up your hair shaft in order to create a ponytail, then fluff and lastly, pull your hair for extra volume.
6. Feed-In Braided Hairstyles
Feed-in braids can help enhance your overall look as it adds dynamism to the natural hairstyle. To begin with, you have to combine two feed-in braids in a zigzag movement and end it off in a low puffy bun.
7. Sleek and Pulled Back Buns

After that, begin to part your hair as it pleases you and then bring the remaining part into a classy chignon.
8. Straight and Shiny Natural Hair
