Hairstyles For Curly Hair: Spring Time Is Curl Time

By: Emily-Ann

Hello Naturals,

It’s spring time and I find myself looking in the mirror and wondering what to do with my hair? Here, are some of my tricks and preferred hairstyles during the warmer months. 

Tip #1: Use hair jewelry as an expression of your unique style. Personally, I love gold braid cuffs! They are cute jewelry pieces that can be purchased at your local beauty supply store. I am sure you have already seen them on many of the your natural hair sistas! They come in different patterns and designs.

Tip#2: Pinterest, is still a really good place to seek hairstyle ideas. I use it here and there to get my creative juices flowing. It helps when you just no clue what style to go with that week. Side note try not to compare hair length, and growth with the ladies on there.

Tip #3: High buns, quick and easy and look great with that dress you bought a week ago. Try buying statement pieces to add to your outfit. I bought these beautiful gold butterfly earrings for date night. When in doubt do a high bun is my answer, you can never go wrong with a good bun.

Tip #4: I caution all my naturals with this suggestion and it’s adding color! Now, I know you want to color your hair, but do little research first. Make sure your moisture game is on point. Moisture, is essential for natural hair growth, and during the coloring process moisture tends to leave the hair. Keeping and maintaining your color is a job in itself, just make sure you are ready to commit. If you not add color with extensions or wigs. I always stress knowing your hair type, because ultimately that can play a role in how your hair takes colour and keeps it. Remember, everything in moderation and use your judgement call on high manipulation styles.

Disclaimer: Seek a professional consultation and or stylist when choosing to colour. They will be best person to advise you on the colouring process.

Tip #5: Last but not least, for my brides-to-be, there are many websites and magazines that now offer styling ideas for naturals. I am amazed at the diversity in styles now available to us! I see many trends with flowers being incorporated into the hair, so wear your crown with pride and add a little floral inspiration. If you’re feeling diva-like rock that diamond accent piece to bring out that wow factor.
