Popular Hairstyles

There are a variety of hairstyles to choose from when it comes to styling black hair. From short pixies and clean buzz cuts to long braids and voluminous afros, there’s something to suit everyone’s taste. Here are some of the most popular styles and tips on how to achieve them.

Bantu Knots

Bantu knots are a classic style that give off an incredibly cool and vibrant look. It is a style that can be achieved with any length of hair, but is best suited for those with shoulder length locks and longer. To achieve this look, first detangle your child’s hair, then divide it into sections. The number of sections will vary depending on the desired outcome, but for a classic look, divide the hair into 4-5 sections. Twist each section of hair around itself until it forms tight curls, and then tie each knot with an elastic.

Afro Puffs

Afro puffs give a sporty yet stylish look to young ones. To achieve this style, start by washing and conditioning your child’s hair, then allow it to air dry. Next, fluff out their Afro to create all-natural volume, and part the hair down the middle. Take two sections of hair and create two puff, spiraling up and away from the head and tie each one with a small elastic.

Twist Out

Twisouts are a great way to add texture and definition to curly hair. To get this look, apply a generous amount of conditioner to your child’s hair before twisting each section of the hair in a clockwise motion with a paddle brush. Secure each twist with a rubber band and leave the hair to dry. Once dry, gently loosen each twist with your fingers and fluff out the roots, but try not to let it unravel too much.
