In need of New Year's Eve styles for natural hair? Typically, New Year's Eve is a time to get your glad rags on. A time to reflect on the growth of the year behind and your goals for the year ahead. It's also a time that has many naturals reaching for the straighteners.
Many of us don't associate beautiful coils and curls with a dressy look and among the most common misconceptions we hear about kinky hair is the line that "it's fun, but not glamorous."
At Afrocenchix we like to bust myths. We believe that natural hair is super versatile. So here are some of our favourite looks from our fave influencers on Insta.

Editor’s tip: Apply a little Seal to the ends of your hair to keep it from snagging on your coat.

Embrace your kinks and coils a la Nicky, this look goes with everything!
Top tip: dampen your hair with Sheen before gathering it into a bun then tie a silk scarf around it to set the style. Take it off and apply gel after doing your make up - this way the style lasts longer, your hair is well moisturised and you use less gel.
