Defined Curls
Tired of protective hairstyles and just want to show off your natural hair texture in all its glory? We don’t blame you! If you’re looking for more definition or want to stretch out your hair without heat, we suggest doing a Bantu Knot out.

Half-up Space Buns
Can’t make your mind up if you want to wear your hair up or down? Well, now you don’t have to pick! We love this half-up hairstyle because it’s truly the best of both worlds.

Cornrows
In our books, cornrows are cute and classic! Just remember to spray your hair and scalp with Sheen, our moisturising spray to help your hair look fresh.
Add hair gems and accessories to your hairstyle to add a touch of difference.

Braided Bun
Love braids? Love buns? Mix your two great loves in this beautiful updo. It not only looks chic but it keeps your hair safely tucked away. You can even work this look with twists!

Headwrap
This ‘cheat’ hairstyle is perfect if you are looking for something very low maintenance to see you through Valentine’s Day.
Just make sure your hair is nice and moisturised and wrap your hair with a silk/satin scarf or pop on our satin lined bonnet (to make sure your hair is nice and protected), then wrap your favourite headscarf or wrap on top – and you’re done!
