Many women who have decided to go “natural” often wonder what hairstyles are available to them that will make the transition more bearable. One style that can not be overlooked is locs aka dreadlocks. To get started with this hairstyle hair length does come into play. If your hair is longer you can incorporate more of a braided look. Moreover, if your tresses are rather short than it will be best to use single twists when fashioning your locs.
Now, just because you are going natural it does not mean that you will have absolutely no upkeep. We shall repeat that one more time LOL, there will be some maintenance involved even though this hairstyle is low key. Natural hair still needs attention and some tender loving care. Continue to wash and deep condition tresses when necessary. Also, apply a good hair oil to keep the scalp healthy and hair growing. Need some hair loc inspiration? Keep scrolling:

Today, it is the sassy actress against the singing siren! Who will reign supreme in the hair down-to-there realm? Let’s just break down the hair look in all it’s glory so that a winner may be crowned.
This one is going to be a toughie because the hairstyle in question looks great on both beauties. Rihanna chose wear her sleek tresses in a jet black color with some strands tucked behind one ear. Keke on the other hand added a little more dimension thanks to some nicely placed highlights.
It literally came down to one vote over here, but the winner is KeKe Palmer! As much as we love Rihanna has a raven beauty, Palmer’s extra flair put her over the top. Moreover, as one team member of 1966 put it, “Keke’s edges are just laid!”
Take a closer look at both hairstyle versions for yourself:

We have to admit it… sometimes the man bun has us feeling some type of way. The man bun is nothing new, men have been wearing them years, however, they have come more into vogue as of late. Famous actors, singers, hip hop artists and Instagram hotties are rocking the man bun fearlessly. A style that for awhile had been considered quite feminine is now a manly hairstyle. Oh how times have changed eh?
The natural hair movement is not just permeating the black girl circle, but men too are taking part in the growing trend. Men are choosing to wear their hair in a number of styles that focus more on just a fade and line-up. Of course, not all buns are created equal and some pull the look off better than others, but we are loving all of the diversity. Whether hair is straightened, curly or braided the man bun is being fashioned in various manners. Here is a few of our favorite man bun sightings:
Those were all bomb right? Now check out this guy:
Danger! Now only is he fine but look at that bun! We can’t deny that we are
seriously hair crushing on this man and his man bun!
ASAP Rocky has been known to rock the man bun and a LOT.

Sleek, low ponytails are an easy and trendy hairstyle to look great during the summer heat. Attain the super slick back look with the help of a pomade or edge control product. Nevertheless, ponytails can also do a number on your strands if you do not take proper precautions? How can you protect your hair while sporting this hair trend?
When tying your hair back their are two things you can do to help prevent or minimize the possibility of breakage:
1. Always use elastics that are covered with cotton or silk materials. Elastics made from rubber, plastic or metals can snap hair.
2. Before fashioning your hair into a ponytail first spritz hair with a light silicone spray to encourage strands to glide against the hair ties which will in turn prevent splitting.
Hair is just as important as fashion itself, for it can make or break an outfit. Here are a few of the styles we spotted last night during the arrivals for the 2015 Met Ball.
