There's good reason why natural hair is one of the most popular hairstyles for black women. Curls have a mind of their own, and the key to keeping them pretty is to let them fly free. If you want to put up your curls, just roll, tuck, and pin them up or to the sides.

Who said cornrows can only be worn from front to back? Wearing cornrows during the warmer months is a great alternative to wearing beachy waves, but there's a catch—the trick to making them stand out is to wear different sizes and shapes. Best of all, the style is low-maintenance, so you can actually spend time looking for your next big hairstyle.

While most half-up, half-down hairstyles fall somewhere between casual and formal, that's not always the case when the hair is curled. It's without question much fancier.

Superlong

The name of the game for 2017 is having long (middle-parted) hair. Just take a hint from Ariana Grande's superlong hair. Obviously, we're team "long hair, don't care," and we're glad this look is just as special for black women.

Cropped

On the flip side, any girl who's kicking around the idea of going really short this summer can't go wrong with a supershort do. We couldn’t help but fall in love with this look. This short cut, also known as a big chop, screams "badass" in the best possible way.
