  When you wear your hair naturally, you decide to stop using harsh chemicals like perms and dyes. Black natural hairstyles do not require the use of curling irons or straightening combs. Choosing the right natural style for your black hair is important. These styles can be trendy or elegant, and there are styles for all lengths of hair.
  
  

Afro Ponytail

• The afro ponytail can be worn everyday. This style is great for black hair, and achieving the look is easy. Your hair will become frizzy after washing and letting it air dry. Finish the hair by spraying a light coat of oil sheen. Use hair accessories like colorful barrettes to accentuate the look. Use a hair tie or rubber band to secure your ponytail.
  
  

Dreadlocks

• Dreadlocks look great and are a popular natural hairstyle for black hair. Since black hair naturally locks, you will not need to do much to achieve this style. Start your locks by parting your hair in sections and twisting the ends. Dreadlocks eventually grow and reach long lengths. Continue to take care of your locks by washing, conditioning and patting your hair dry.
  
  

Cornrows

• Cornrows can be braided to the scalp or twisted individually. This hairstyle is popular with people who desire natural hair. Keeping your scalp oiled while wearing cornrows will help prevent damage to your hair and scalp.
  
  

Daily Care

• Natural hair care includes products like hair moisturizer and weekly hot oil conditioning treatments. Although natural hairstyles look kinky and frizzy, they still need daily maintenance. Use a traditional afro pick to style your natural black hair. To keep natural hair from damage and breakage, tie your hair up at night with a silk scarf.
