This past week has been pretty rough for my hair. I'm the type of girl who sticks to a consistent styling routine which for me is straightening my hair on the daily. I've never been a huge fan of my natural texture just because I find it super difficult to work with and also super inconsistent. It's wavy, but not pretty beachy waves. It's current length is also my problem. I don't mind my natural hair when it's pretty long, but it's mid-length currently and I'm really just not feeling this whole natural look.
The reason I'm addressing this is because I have morning practice for badminton at 6 am. We get out around 7:15/7:30 to go shower and in past weeks I've just sprayed a bunch of perfume, put on deodorant and was good to go. These past few days the gym where we practice has been seriously so hot and humid that it's now impossible for me to go to class and function without showering afterwards. And, let's be honest it was pretty gross of me not to in the first place. Ok but since I have to shower this means that I have to go with my hair wet to class--I'm not one of those people who can just not wash their hair after a workout--my hair is too gross! I've been attempting to embrace my natural hair and it's messiness, but I've also been looking for different ideas of styles to try that could look cute with my beachy waves. Here are three styles to try!
Two braids // I've always loved the braided look and two braids is a classic twist on the regularly solo braid. I love french braids, but regular braids can be super cute too! Fishtails are also cute! There are so many options with this style and if you have a friend in your first period that is good at hair it will make your life so much easier!
Half up half down // This is a super easy go-to look for wearing natural hair. Especially if you do a half up half down top knot it's super messy and natural looking and doesn't need to be perfect. Whenever I wear my hair down I like wearing it half up half down just because it keeps my hair out of my face--my pet peeve. I like this particular look because it's easy and fast and practically fool proof.
The top knot // This is a hairstyle I absolutely love but have yet to master. Pretty much every day I try and recreate a loose, top knot like the example above, but for some reason it just never turns out. Or if it does it ends up falling out within the first 10 minutes of it being in. I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing wrong, but I definitely need to solve this issue because a top knot is the perfect way to wear your hair when you want it out of your face and all up!
What are your go-to hairstyles for wearing your natural hair?
