Cornrows have always been a universal favourite. They are easy to make and at the same time look outstanding. And the best part is, you can go all out or be as subtle as you would like. The only bummer is having to choose just one hairstyle from the plethora of options.

5. Curls Just Wanna Have Fun

The latest style is to let the curls run loose and wild. Embracing your natural hair is the way to go. It’s a complete no fuss style where your curls get to be who they are without any worries. Tie a scarf or a bandana and you are ready to walk out the door.
