1. High Puff
The high puff is a timeless classic look, ideal for any special event or everyday wear. Easy to create and great with bangs, adding this hairstyle is quick and straightforward – for an added dose of fun, add a scarf or bow for an adorable finishing touch.
2. Twist-Out
Twist-outs are one of the cutest options for 4c natural hairstyles, as they require minimal upkeep and can be worn at various lengths. They also serve as protective styles by moisturizing ends while twisting them tightly. Before styling a twist-out, hydrate your hair with leave-in conditioner and shea butter, then thoroughly detangle. Doing this will prevent tangles and breakage while providing a better definition for when your curls uncurl.
3. Bantu Knots
Bantu knots are an excellent style option for 4c hair, combining the benefits of curly and wavy styles into one easy hairdo. You can achieve this style quickly when your locks have been appropriately nourished with natural products such as NaturAll. Add some flair and drama to your Bantu knots by incorporating bold, daring patterns with shaved lines for an eye-catching, brave, and unique look that works equally well in casual and formal settings. An alternative approach to the classic Bantu knot can be to tie them more subduedly by creating a zigzag pattern across your head. This style makes an elegant choice for wedding days or any special event.
4. Cornrows
Cornrows are an iconic protective style never going out of fashion. A cornrow can show off your natural hair texture in various types and can even be worn to cover short sections. Boxer braid is an adorable double cornrow style that feels fresh and contemporary, adding subtle femininity while drawing attention to your forehead, making this style ideal for those with fabulous brows. Another way to add some flair and drama is by flat-twisting cornrows into a low bun – giving it a princess-like vibe and being suitable for short 4c hair.
5. High Ponytail
The high ponytail is an iconic style for people with 4C hair, providing an ideal way to highlight coils and ringlets while keeping them out of your face. Add some shimmer with gold accessories. If you have long strands, try curling them loosely with an iron before pulling them into a ponytail. For an elegant touch, pair your high ponytail with an accessory such as a scrunchie or bejeweled scarf to finish the look. If your hair is too clean to create the ideal high ponytail, use dry shampoo as an add-on to give your style some texture and help it last all day with its sleek finish. This will also prevent it from frizzing too soon.
6. Space Buns Twist
No matter your hair is length, this cute 4c natural hairstyle is a simple yet effective way to add some interest and texture. No hot tools required: simply spritz on some temporary edge control gel before twisting mini space buns into mini space buns for a fun look! Braided space buns are a striking and fashionable style, perfect for pairing with various hair colors. In this version, two eye-catching hues – dark blueish purple and hot magenta dye – were utilized to give these buns an eye-catching twist. To create this look, start with clean and dry hair. Part it down the center, securing one section with pins or hair ties. Repeat on both sides of your head.
