I know, there are days when you just want your hair to be simple, regardless of whether you have always embraced your natural hair or are a recent convert. 

Additionally, a big part of the current beauty trends are semi-natural looks: no-make-up make-up, fashionable casual outfits, and of course, this-is-my-natural hair hairstyles.

That’s why we’re discussing subtle hair styling today – something you can do at home, preferably without heat – all while embracing your natural hair type. But first, do you remember what is the foundation of every gorgeous hairstyle?

The Foundation: Healthy Hair Care for the Perfect Canvas

While we work to maintain our overall health, many of us overlook our hair. Once more for the people in the back: healthy hair is beautiful hair! Strong, resilient hair will always be a conversation starter. So… how to get there?

• Your diet matters, and supplements such as zinc can help. 
• Protect your hair from sun, sea salt, and chlorine. 
• Regular trims are your best friend.
• Consult with the experts about the products you use. 
• Heat protectants are vital when you have to heat-style your hair.

As there are many different hair types, there are also many different signs of healthy hair. There are a few key indications, though, that I think are generally applicable: 

• Minimal shedding and breakage
• No dandruff
• Doesn’t break when brushed
• Reflects light
• Has natural moisture

Hair Cuts That Add Dimension and Volume

If you have thin or fine hair, we all know how difficult it can be to add volume. Much of it may depend on your hairstyle! Sometimes, a quick cut is all you need even though products may appear to be the better option.

1. Angled Bob With Layers
2. Face-Shaping Layers
3. Styled Curtain Bangs
4. Hair on the Side
5. Texturized Pixie

Once you’ve found the ideal new “do for you,” shampoos and other products designed specifically for thinning hair can help you add even more strength and volume. After that, make sure to protect your hair from any additional harm (wind, sun, water, chemicals). 

Braids for Effortless Waves

Start by misting a sea salt spray on damp hair to achieve the effortless, tousled style of beachy waves. Use a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer while giving your hair a gentle hand-scrunch. The diffuser will boost those natural waves and add volume.

Cool for the summer? With braids, most definitely! Choose a traditional side braid for a carefree look. Start loosely braiding your hair after gathering it to one side. Gently tug on the braid’s sections to loosen it up for that extra relaxed look. 

The number of braids depends on the thickness of your hair, and also the type of waves that you want to achieve.

Tips and Tricks

1. Start with a Healthy Base: Effortless hair begins with healthy hair. Regular trims, nourishing masks, and the right products tailored to your hair type are crucial.

2. Embrace Imperfection: Every hair type is gorgeous! Curly, straight, thick, thin… There is the right hairstyle for everyone. 

3. No-Heat Styling: Embrace no-heat styling methods like braiding damp hair or using twist techniques to create natural waves without damaging heat tools.

4. Set With a Light Hold Spray: Lock in your style with a flexible, light-hold hairspray to keep your hair in place while maintaining movement.

5. Confidence Is Key: The true essence of “I woke up like this” hair is the confidence it exudes. Wear your hairstyle with pride and a carefree attitude.

6. Know Your Hair Type. Your hair type determines the products and hairstyles you need to have in your repertoire.

7. Quick Updo Can Save Your Time. Ponytails, buns, and braids aren’t just for home or the gym. You can quickly become an expert at a stylish updo with a little practice.

8. Wash Your Hair the Right Way. Concentrate the shampoo on your scalp because this is where the most oil and dirt accumulate. Use cold/warm water because hot water can strip your hair of its natural oils.

9. Try Natural Ways to Lighten Hair and Add Dimension. There are excellent natural ingredients, such as chamomile, that can do wonders for your hair.

10. Get Professional Advice. You should always do your research, but sometimes, the safest and easiest way is to consult an experienced hairstylist. 

Equal Love for Stylized and Natural Hair 

Natural hair is a celebration of originality and self-expression. It reflects a journey of embracing one’s unique texture, pattern, and identity. 

Nevertheless, it’s okay to test things out! Many of us have tried various hairstyles and hair colors over the years. The key is to find the one YOU love the most. 

In the realm of hair expression, every choice is valid. Whether it’s intricate stylized creations or the raw beauty of natural locks, both deserve appreciation. Stylized hair is a canvas for innovation, reflecting personal preferences and artistry. 

On the other hand, natural hair embodies authenticity, carrying cultural heritage and a profound connection to self. Celebrating both styles acknowledges the diversity of beauty and individuality.
