Not everyone is a proud naturalista like the multitude of them who bombard us on Facebook timelines or Youtube. There's nothing wrong with the natural texture of one's hair, but when you do try and tame it, it's just not as easy as it looks! And sometimes we don't want to go through the process. Granted, straightening hair is no pretty thing. And it's understood that as much of an paradox as it is, straight hair seems natural. I feel those sisters, I am 100% a part of the straight hair club, but after this heat wave, I decided to try out some new things. Here are some natural hairstyles that I found may come a little easier, yet still have you looking bomb at the end of it! Yes, it is a huge change form the "norm" of straightening hair, but hey, change is good right?
