50 Easy Natural Hairstyles to Try In 2024

50 Easy Natural Hairstyles

Wash-And-Go

A wash-and-go is the quintessential easy natural hairstyle. While the name of the style emphasizes its ease, there are a few more steps than just washing and walking out of the door with flawless hair. Once your hair is clean, apply a leave-in conditioner and styling gel such as Mizani True Textures Perfect Coil Oil Gel.

Two-Strand Twist Out

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to prolong the length of your Senegalese or two-strand twists, simply release the twists for enviable spiral curls.

Braid Out

Much like twist-outs, braid-outs are a great way to get a few more days out of your braided styles. Take care when taking down your braids; you’ll be rewarded with beautiful texture.

Satin Lined Cap

Hats and curly hair go together like oil and water, but this simple design trick can help your curls flourish in the winter. Be sure to look for hats lined with satin, as satin doesn’t disturb your natural texture.

Fluffy Rod Set

Extend the life of your blowout by a few days with this fluffy rod set. Wrap small sections of hair around flexi rods and allow them to set for a few hours. When you unravel them, you’ll have seriously bouncy and voluminous waves.

Afro

When it comes to Afros, the bigger, the better. Use a hair pick to create volume at the root of your hair for maximum lift.

Wet Look

If you love how your hair looks after applying your product but before it completely dries, this style is perfect for you. You can start styling your hair right after you’ve washed and gently dried it, or fill a spray bottle with water and spritz your locks until they’re damp. Alternatively, use a spray leave-in conditioner like Mizani 25 Miracle Milk. The liquid formula will dampen your hair while ensuring that it feels hydrated.

Once your hair is saturated (but not soaking wet), work a light-hold gel like Matrix A Curl Can Dream Light-Hold Gel For Coily and Curly Hair through your hair to set your texture. Allow your hair to dry before walking out the door, and it’ll look chic and shiny all day.

Low Puff

Give your puff a more understated look by placing it at the nape of your neck instead of on top of your head.

Headband

Looking for a style that appears put together without having to do any work? Simply pop an oversized headband, and you’re ready to go.

Double Puff Buns

Whether you’re headed to a concert or a fun night out with your friends, these double puff buns scream the life of the party.

Cornrow Pigtails

Flaunt your natural texture with these half-undone French braids. Braided pigtails are also great for creating second-day hair waves. Keep the braids in overnight to wake up with perfect waves.

Side Swept Jumbo Hair Clip

Do you need a quick fix when your curls are flourishing but your edges look worse for wear? All you need is some edge control like Mizani Artful Edges Edge Gel and a jumbo hair clip to get your edges in check.

Cornrows

Simple straight-back cornrows are a classic style that can last days, making day-to-day styling a breeze. Use the Mizani Scalp Care Calming Lotion if your scalp needs extra TLC before wash day. The pointed nozzle is perfect for getting in between your cornrows.

Deep Side Part

If you love hairstyles that require minimum effort but give maximum effect, look no further than the deep side part. Simply parting your hair on the side can give your locks some much-needed movement and volume.

Bedazzled Bobby Pins

Add some sparkle to your style with these bedazzled bobby pins. They’re super easy to use and go with any look.

Bantu Knots

Bantu knots are another one of our favorite two-for-one styles. Bantu knots the first day and loose curls when you take them down the next day.

Finger Waves

Finger waves are the perfect way to coax more definition out of your wash-and-go. Simply wet your hair and apply a curl-enhancing product like Mizani True Textures Curl Enhancing Lotion. You’ll want to wind a single curl around your finger, hold for 10 seconds, and pull your finger out. Continue around your whole head for defined coils!

Faux Hawk

Shaving the sides of your head may look striking, but it’s anything from low maintenance. If you love the look but aren’t ready for the commitment, a few strategically placed bobby pins can give you a whole new look as shown here.

The best part about cutting your hair very short is that you’ll likely cut your styling routine down to mere minutes.

Crown Braid

This style looks regal and complicated but is super easy to pull off. If you know how to French braid hair, just create one jumbo braid around your head and pancake the braid for a fluffed final look.

Messy Bun

Chances are good that you’ve relied on this hairstyle more times than you can count. To take your messy bun from rolled-out-of-bed to chicly tousled, allow a few tendrils of hair to frame your face.

Pineapple Updo

We love how versatile this updo is. It looks just as good paired with a casual outfit as it does when you’re dressed for a night out.

Faux Ponytail

Hair not long enough for a party ponytail? Fake it til you make it. A clip-on ponytail takes a few minutes to attach and looks amazing all night.

Flat-Twist Accented Ponytail

Give your go-to ponytail a much-needed upgrade. Simply create a flat twist down the center part of your hair and secure it with a clear hair elastic. Then, gather all of your hair at the top of your hair and secure your ponytail with an elastic.

Wash-and-Go Refresh

Many people have a hard time getting their wash-and-go’s to last more than a day or two. But with the right products and techniques, you can make your day four wash-and-go look brand new. Simply spray your hair with water and apply a softening leave-in conditioner such as Redken All Soft Mega Mega Curls Hydramelt to help restore moisture and definition to your hair.

Box Braids

Ok, box braids may not be easy to pull off on your own, but what's easier than heading to the salon and letting someone else do your hair? Once you have your box braids, you won’t have to worry about styling your hair again for at least a few weeks.

Side-Parted Pixie

Just because you have short hair doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with parts. If your short strands have a hard time staying put, use a strong-hold hair gel like Mizani True Textures Sleek Holding Gel. As a bonus, it will give your hair a chic wet look.
