The 17 Prettiest Natural Curly Hairstyle Ideas
Stunning styles to update your look.
Trends like the "skinification" of hair are informing how we approach what shampoos and conditioners we choose to line our showers with to the best ways to fight frizz and breakage (a major area of concern for anyone with naturally textured hair).
It makes sense that strong, thick, healthy hair will allow anyone to do more in terms of styling, especially when there are so many beautiful looks out there for natural hair worth trying out. From waist-skimming braids and bantu knots to closely cropped Afros and face-framing curls, the best natural hairstyles of the moment have one thing in common: "They're fresh takes on classic looks," says hairstylist Andre Walker, who works with celebrities like Oprah Winfrey.
And there are many modern ways to approach your favorite classic—and it can be as simple as styling a traditionally straight bob with your natural curls or trying an elevated take on a childhood favorite like pig tails. Ahead, 17 of the prettiest natural hairstyles to borrow from the stars.
