So you finally decided to take the plunge with natural hair, huh?

First of all, congrats girl! There’s nothing we love more than asistah joining the natural curl hair ranks.

But once the wave of feeling empowering and liberating, has passed, this transition can get really frustrating. Especially if you’re left with curly roots and straight ends – ‘coz Boy, can this mess up a hairstyle and your overall look! But wipe away those tears of frustration, love, cause with these 3 curly root styles below, you can be sure to wow everywhere you go!

1. The Perfect Ruse

Is it straight under there or curly? No one freakin’ knows!

A head wrap or headscarf as some people call it is the perfect accomplice to styling your curly roots. your curly root styling ruse. They say that the key to the perfect trick is a good distraction and trust us hon, everyone you meet will be too distracted with the beauty of the top knot to pay any attention to the curly roots and straight ends underneath.

2. Protect Yo Self

Listen up chica, protective hairstyles DO NOT get the attention and appreciation that they rightfully deserve. For example, this mini braids protective hairstyle that you see here, not only protects our curls from breakage but ensures quicker growth and also keeps our tresses off your face and neck, all the while maintaining a ramp-ready look. Oh, and we haven’t even gotten to the best part yet – this hairstyle doesn’t discriminate. So whether your roots are straight or curly, if done right, the result will always be jaw-dropping. Get set to slay!

But wait, how do we finish these braid babies?

We’re coming to that ladies! May we present to you African Pride Black Castor Miracle Hold & Cover Edges. This gel was and continues to be our secret to perfecting any and every fabulous hairstyle. It is incredibly easy to use and does an A-job of slicking back strays. Our relationship with this baby was love at first use and we recommend that you’ll try it too.

3. Embrace The Curls Love

As the popular saying goes – If you can’t beat them, join them

In the rush of searching for the perfect curly root style, did you’ll ever wonder “What if we just curled our entire hair?” (Try it and thank us later for the lightbulb moment you just had!) Several tools can help one achieve those 4c curls. We used a curling rod when we transitioned and then set it with African Pride Moisture Miracle Gel n’ Cream – 3-In-1 Curl Training System. To use this product, apply a dash to a section of your curls before letting it come into contact with your hot tools. This is an amazing product that not only helped us maintain our curls throughout the day but also hydrated it while boosting its shine. What’s more – this curly root style *cough* we mean curly hairstyle *cough* really helped us get excited about our own natural hair journeys.

 

And there you have it, ladies, with the curly root styles mentioned above, we’re ensuring that you’re transitioning journey will be an extremely smooth and stylish one.
