5 Cute Curly Summer Styles for Natural Hair

                            by BlackGirlLongHair

Summer is officially in full swing, and we have so many great styles options on BGLH, from tapered

afros, to updos, and more.  Now it is time for another summer look — curls, curls, curls!

1. Textured Updo

This updo will work beautifully for a summer wedding or other formal event.  It can also be worn to the office, grocery store, or summer picnic.  You will need a fresh, defined twist out to start.

Products used: Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum
Tools required: Bobby pins, clips

2. Flat Twists and Curls Updo

Here is another fun, curly updo that can be worn to a summer party, concert or picnic. For this look, you will need perm rods to create defined, shiny curls. The style is best achieved on a tapered cut.

Products used: Leave-in, water, oil
Tools required: Rattail comb (for parting), clips, bobby pins, perm rods

3. Summer Waves Hairstyle

These waves are very easy and quick to create using a triple barrel waver on a low heating setting (350 degrees Fahrenheit).  If you want to avoid heat usage, you can use loose braids on stretched hair to create a similar effect.

Tools required: Wide-tooth comb, triple barrel waver

4. Defined 3-Strand Twist Out (works on 4B/4C hair)

If regular two-strand twist outs don’t quite give you the definition you want, then this three-strand twist out may work for you.  For bigger curls and a faster process, you can do bigger twists than shown in the tutorial.

Products used: Moisturizer, oil (for shine), setting lotion or gel
Tools required: Wide-tooth comb, clips

5. Flexi Rod Set and Twist

This is another cute look for my naturals with shorter tresses.  If you want to play up your TWA or try something other than your usual puff, then check out this tutorial!

Products used: Cantu Shea Butter, water, Coconut oil, Eco Styler Gel
