5 Absolutely Gorgeous Natural Hair Styles for an Evening Out

Sometimes, when you want to look extra special, that 5 day old twist-out just won’t do. When the natural hair movement started out there weren’t a whole lot of style ideas floating around, but now beautiful style ideas are ubiquitous. When there are so many places to look, it’s hard not to become overwhelmed with choices. So, as your surrogate big sister, I’ve taken the time to gather some of the hottest, evening out hairstyles (thank me later) that I’ve seen. Go on girl, with your sexaaay self!

2. Glorified Twist & Curl

All I have to say about this style is YAAAAAS!
