Natural hair offers more styling options

If you thought embracing your natural hair meant marrying yourself to just a handful of styling options, think again.

You shouldn't get caught in just one look.

There are about 67 different textures of natural hair.

Each one works differently, so you should find out what is the best style for your curl pattern.

The key is thinking about shape rather than focusing only on curl texture.

Whether it's stretching them, loosening them or blowing them out, natural curls are versatile today in a way they were not in years past, De Luca added.

"There are so many more products, there are so many more techniques, there's so many different ways you can experiment and try different things with your hair that just weren't available back in the day.
