7 natural hairstyles for busy mornings

Natural Hairstyles

1. Low Bun

A low bun is a classic go-to. If you want to add some razzle dazzle, accessorize with a scrunchie, scarf, or bow. It’s a simple style that looks effortlessly chic.

2. Flat Twist with Low Puff

Take your low ponytail to the next level by adding some flat twists at the front, or even two side cornrows leading up to the puff. 

This not only adds style but also reduces tension on your edges since all your hair isn’t pulled back tightly.

3. Cornrows

Cornrows

Cornrows are a staple for a busy week. 

I love them because they’re super versatile; you can dress them up or down. 

For a fancier look, gather them into a low ponytail with a cute scrunchie. Or, embrace a casual Y2K vibe by adding beads to the ends of your braids.

4. Twist Out

Whether you’re rocking a twist out, braid out, or Bantu knots, let your hair down and embrace your curls. 

To keep your twist out looking fresh all week, I recommend using a foam wrap while twisting. 

Also, if you’re wanting to keep your hair stretched at night, you can use scrunchies to band your hair.

For this quick and easy style, create two cornrows on the front sides of your hair and gather the rest into a low bun. 

It’s a simple yet cute look that works for any occasion.

6. Mini Twists

I like to think of mini twists as the natural hair version of box braids. 

They’re super versatile; you can wear them in a ponytail, half-up half-down, or just let them hang. 

While they take a bit of time to install, once they’re in, your hair is styled and ready to go for days.

7. High Puff

A high puff is such a classic and iconic natural hairstyle.

I remember when I first went natural, this was my go-to style. 

While a sleek, tight ponytail can look amazing, you don’t want to end up with a headache all week. 

Try keeping your puff a little loose, it’ll save your scalp and edges from unnecessary tension.
