So, let’s talk natural hair. Not just ‘cause it’s stylish—but because it’s a whole vibe, you know? For ages, Black women have been told to hide those gorgeous coils and curls. Honestly, it’s exhausting. But these days? Way more folks are standing in front of the mirror and loving every kink, curl, and wave. Natural hair isn’t some trend—it’s pride, it’s culture, it’s saying, “Yeah, this is me.” And the best part? These styles are shockingly easy once you get the hang of ‘em.

Alright, enough pep talk. You came for hairstyles that don’t take forever, so let’s get into it. Here’s four go-tos you can literally pull off without needing a salon degree.

Wash and Go If you’ve got zero patience for complicated routines (relatable), the wash and go is like your new best friend. Shampoo—pick something that doesn’t leave your hair ashy. Slap on a leave-in, then add your favorite curl cream or gel. Run your fingers or a brush through it, scrunch if you’re feeling fancy, and just let it dry. Air dry for that wild, effortless look, or hit it with a diffuser if you’re an overachiever. Dab a little oil on the ends for shine. You’re done! Your curls are popping. Effort level? Like, 3 out of 10.

Twist Out Looking for volume without the drama? Twist outs, hands down. Start with damp hair—trust me, dry hair is just…no. Coat your hair with some leave-in and twisting cream. Part it into sections, split ’em in two, and twist all the way down. Sleep on it (get yourself a satin scarf, don’t say I didn’t warn you), then untwist and fluff in the morning. Boom. Definition, bounce, and that “Yeah, I woke up like this” energy.

Pineapple Updo Let’s call this one the superhero move for second-day curls. When you need to run out the door (late, as usual), gather your hair into a high, loose ponytail right at the top of your head. Let those curls spill over like, well, a pineapple. A couple bobby pins if things are getting wild in the back, and you’re good. This one’s basically the “I’m effortless” cheat code.

Two Strand Twist You ever want something that looks cute but is also secretly protecting your hair? The two strand twist has entered the chat. Just start with clean, detangled hair (yeah, you actually gotta detangle, sorry). Take a section, split it, twist ‘em up. Work your way around your head, seal the ends with a little curl cream. You can leave these in for literal days, or unravel later for fluffy, defined curls—zero extra effort. Your hair stays moisturized and healthy, and you look like you’ve got it all together even if you totally don’t (spoiler, no one does).

So look, since you’re rocking your natural hair, I’m guessing the whole natural skincare thing is on your radar too. Honestly, if you haven’t tried Back2Naturalness Tallow Soap, you’re missing out. Don’t freak out about the “tallow” part—it’s beef tallow, yeah, but that’s some old-school, tried-and-true stuff your grandma would probably swear by. Plus, there’s coconut oil, sweet almond, jojoba oil, and essential oils in there making your skin look all glowy and not like a lizard, which is a bonus I guess.

If you’re picky about scents, chill—they’ve got both scented and unscented bars. You can grab just one or a three-pack if you’re the obsessively clean type.

But hey, if your skin’s on the Sahara Desert spectrum like mine? Pair that soap up with the Back2Naturalness Tallow Moisturizer. I’m talking next-level hydration—your face will feel like butter, not toast. (Dry skin people, you know what I mean.)

"I’ve actually heard people are living their best skin lives after switching to this stuff: “I’ve been using the soap and moisturizer for two weeks, and my skin has never felt so soft and nourished!” —Monique, Atlanta

“Finally, a natural soap that actually works without harsh chemicals. Love it!” —Jada, LA
