Twists

One of the most simple hairstyles that can be achieved with natural hair are twists. There are many diverse types of twists styles, from Havana to Marley to Senegalese. Natural hair sisters have learned how to add their own unique touches to twists hairstyles. Twists can be done on one's own natural hair or extensions can be added to achieve longer twists. You can also style your twists in up-dos, buns, pigtails etc.

Braids

If you are looking for a natural hair style with some flavor, braids are a great natural hair style with some cultural expression to it. Many different colors have signature braids styles such as French braids or African style braids. Like twists extensions, braid extensions can be done in many different colors. Lately many fashionistas have been experimenting with unconventional hair colors in their afro's and natural hair styles such as pink, blue, purple and even green. Colors can add more personality to these natural hairstyles.

Afros are the signature natural hair style. When many think of afros they think of power movements and iconic women. It is just something about a woman with a beautiful afro that is so captivating. Like twists and braids, afros can be achieved through extensions and weaves as well. Afro extensions and weaves are ideal for those with permed hair that want to achieve a natural afro look or for those with natural hair that want to add some length to their tresses or try a new color.

Be You!


‘What would you say your style is?’  In a generation where the rules of fashion have extended beyond the traditional into one of exciting new possibilities and diverse expression, now more than ever we have the chance to truly embrace who we are and reflect on the outside what is on the inside. Over the years fashion has become not only as a means to comfort, but a platform to showcase one’s unique personality; be it on the classy, glamorous, elegant, preppy side or on the urban, afrocentric, bold or bohemian side as the list continues on. Though every person has one or two main dominant styles, there are endless opportunities to mix and match in between.



Classic/Minimalist/Preppy
The classic style works for ladies who prefer to stick to pieces that have been tried and tested, standing the test of time. They usually have simple silhouettes and common color palettes that work well together. The minimalist look on the other hand features a more toned down approach, sharp and smart, whilst the preppy; a more sportier, comfortable look.
