Easy Back To School Natural Hairstyles
Back to school is right around the corner, or for some the school season has already started. If you’re looking for easy natural hairstyles, we have put together 6 super cute styles for Kurlies of all ages.
Elementary/Middle School Hairstyles:
This style features cornrows in the front half of the head with loose hair in the back which are then pulled together with a hair tie. The ends are then secured in twists. This is perfect for moms who don't have a lot of time to install an entire head of cornrows but still want a style that is cute and will last all week long. Braided styles should be done on freshly washed and conditioned hair to prevent buildup or scalp irritation. Shampoo and condition using Kinky Tresses Sulfate-free Shampoo and Avocado Infusion Restorative Conditioner. To install the cornrows and twists and to keep the hair moisturized and shiny all week long, we recommend using the Kinky Tresses Coconut Mango Hair Butter and Nourishing Hair Oil.

High School/College Hairstyles:
This curly frohawk is a show stopper! These curls can be achieved by using the Kinky Tresses Avocado Infusion Hair Milk as a leave in. Blow dry the hair on medium heat then install perm rods by applying our Coconut Mango Hair Butter as your styler. For best results sit under a hooded dryer to set the curls. Use bobby pins or any decorative pins to pin the sides up and you'll be sure to turn some heads.

A sleek top knot bun is the perfect style to transition to when your twist out or wash and go is on it's last leg but you still need to look put together for class. All you need to do is to spritz the hair with some water to make the hair more pliable. Gather all your hair up into a hair tie and smooth the sides down with a gel of your choice. Form the bun and use bobby pins to secure the ends where necessary and you're done! It's an easy style that requires very little time so it's perfect for the busy high school or college student.

Having your hair in your face while trying to take notes in class can get annoying so half-up half-down styles are perfect for keeping your curls out of your face while still looking cute. This style can be achieved from a twist out or braid out using our Coconut Mango Hair Butter or Avocado Infusion Hair Milk. Create 2 medium sized twists in the front the pull the front half of the hair up into a hair tie and allow the ends to fall loosely. This style is really easy to achieve and can be done on an old twist out, braid out or even an old wash and go.
