Check out 5 natural hairstyles to consider if you need a break from weaves…
#1. Ponytails
Ponytails are the darling of natural hairstyles. This is because they don’t put any pressure on your real hair but still look great. Whether you opt for a wavy or straight ‘tail,” or you incorporate braids into the look, it looks amazing all the time. This hairstyle is also great because it’s not choosy when it comes to outfits so you slay in spite of what you style it with.

They flatter every face shape so you shouldn’t have to worry about finding an option that fits your face.
