If you are looking to embrace no-heat natural hair styles for your curls, then these 27 photos will give you plenty of inspiration!
Wash and Go

What’s one of the biggest perks of going natural? Showing off your curls after a wash and go, of course. Or, in this case, your naturally beautiful and mesmerizing zig-zags!

Bantu Knots

Cornrows

Cornrows can be done in a myriad of increasingly intricate designs, turning the wearer’s head into an intriguing work of art. However, the classic “rows” as we see them here, will NEVER go out of style!

Cornrows and Bantu Knots

Cornrows and curly Bantu knots combine to create this fauxhawk. It’s the ideal look for those who really like the style but aren’t willing to commit to the shaved sides of a true mohawk.

Box Braids

Box braids are the go-to protective style for many natural curlies. Whether done with just your hair or with extensions for added length, they can be super convenient for those with a busy schedule or transitioning hair.

Micro Braids

Micro braids are not for the faint of heart. They can take many hours over several days to install but the result is usually worth the time – and the butt pain from all that sitting!

Halo Braid

This is a much-loved look for both brides and formal occasions. You can achieve it on your own, too, with some practice. Learn how to make a halo of your crown with this quick tutorial.

Senegalese Twists

Smooth, long, two-strand twists are the main features of the Senegalese twist. Add your own sense of style with color or by choosing either thinner or chunkier twists.

Braid-Out

This is one of the easiest ways to show off your natural curl pattern but with added waves created by the braids. The look is similar to a twist out but with more elongation, especially if done on dry, stretched hair.

High Puff

The high puff is a good style for preserving the length of your hair while you wear it loose. It beautifully showcases your natural curls – and it can be done on short hair, too.

Low Puff

If you want a sleek style without over-manipulating your hair, then the low puff is a really good choice. Don’t you just love this perfectly formed puff? We do!

Pineapple

The quick and easy pineapple is like the ultimate cheat when it comes to chic styling of your curly hair. It also pairs nicely with off-the-shoulder tops, as shown here.

High Bun

We know – not everyone’s high bun will be the masterpiece we see here! It’s still a wonderful no-heat natural hairstyle choice when you want a truly sophisticated look.
IG@nicky_b_on_hair #TeamNatural
Low Bun

The low bun sits at your nape with the front of your hair slicked back to accentuate your face. You can go for a smoothed bun or one that’s done more loosely, as in this pic, with your natural curl pattern on full display.
