With so many of us women of color embracing our natural hair textures, it’s no surprise that many of us grappling with finding styles that work well with our newfound curls, kinks, and coils. While I didn’t go for the BC (big chop), I found styles that would camouflage my chemically-straightened strands with my newly grown thicker texture.
Throughout my journey, roller sets and two-strand twists were my go-to styles while I learned how to care for my natural hair. Those styles made my mane manageable while still looking chic and polished. In addition to those common transitioning styles, I also opted for top-knots and buns (with a scarf or simple headband), which I still wear if I’m too lazy to style it after a wash.
What styles did you or do you currently wear as you transitioned to natural hair?
