Black History Month: 5 Glorious Hairstyles

February is Black History Month, a time to commemorate the contributions of African Americans in so many fields such as science, politics, law and sports. African Americans have also been trendsetters in fashion, music and hair. With that said, let’s have a look at 5 glorious black hairstyles.

Curly Top Knot
A top knot is easy to tie and wear as it is both convenient and stylish. Adding some texture to your hair before making the updo will give this hairstyle a boost that makes it look casual yet put-together. To get the most of it, make sure your hair has been well moisturised and use a styling product to define your curls. However, fluffy brushed hair also looks amazing in a top knot.

Double Buns
This is a take on the curly top knot that has become a staple festival hairstyle. It is quick and gives your face an instant youthfulness lift. Plus, it looks gorgeous on curly hair because of its texture and volume.

Side Part
Parting your hair differently is one of the simplest ways to switch up your look. You can go for the central parting or play around with putting most of your hair to the left or to the right. This works well for every hair length - from super long to shaved on the side.

Afro Pixie
This is a splendid short hairstyle that can be worn in a variety of ways, from symmetrical to side bangs. It requires little maintenance and draws attention to the face to highlight the bone structure, and alluring eyes and lips. The pixie cut is also a way to give your hair a break and improve its health as it works great with natural curls and dries out quickly, so there’s no need for heat-styling.

Braids
At around 25 thousand years the Venus of Willendorf is one of the oldest surviving works of art, that some consider as the earliest evidence of braided hairstyles. As braids are so versatile, they have managed to stay “in fashion” for millennia. You can spend hours scrolling down through different hairstyles of very thin to thick braids and intricate designs. Personally, I love how braids look in a high ponytail.

These are just five of so many hairstyles that help you rock your natural black hair. No matter what you go for, always be mindful of keeping your hair in good condition as this will determine how full and bouncy it’d be.
