Whether you’re rushing to leave the house or simply can’t decide your next look, knowing a few natural hairstyles is a skill that will always come in handy. Here’s five natural hairstyles that will fit any occasion.
Traditional Slick-back:
Almost everyone knows how to do a ponytail, but not everyone knows how to achieve the sleek look of a slick-back.
For the best results, start by parting in half from ear-to-ear.
Section away the top half for later and begin building your ponytail with your bottom half.
Take the bottom half of your hair and use your go-to gel or holding spray to brush your hair flat while building your pony.
When you’re done with the bottom half, brush the top half of your hair down flat with product, directly over the pony on the bottom.
Gather the hair on top to cover up the bottom pony.
Bring both ponytails together and tie your second pony around your first.
Now you have a perfect slick back and are ready to take on the day! Check out this tutorial here!
Half Up, Half Down
Like the first look, you are going to begin by parting your hair horizontally, from ear to ear.
Section off your bottom hair and put the top in a ponytail.
With the bottom section, you can do whatever you’d like!
Whether you choose to flat iron, curl, or make your curls pop with some gel, you can never go wrong with this timeless look.

Two-Strand Bang
Taking out small pieces of hair in the front can really elevate a look!
If your hair is in a low or high ponytail, part off a small section of hair at the top, middle of your forehead for your twisted bang. Split the section in half and make a two-strand twist with each section.
This simple bang adds a touch of personality to any natural look!

Space Buns
To achieve the Princess Leia-inspired look. Part your hair in the middle from your forehead to the bottom of your neck.
With these two sections, choose your placement and wrap both with ponytail holders.
Whether you choose to do low buns or high buns, this will definitely be a cute look.
At this time, also choose the type of bun you are looking to accomplish.
Some girls like to tease their buns for an afro-inspired look while others choose to wrap their buns for a slick look.
Tie and style your space buns as you’d like and get ready to head out the door. Watch a tutorial here as well!
