Winter can take its toll on natural hair. That’s why we’ve looked for celebs we can take hair inspiration from to protect our natural hair this winter.
Bonang Matheba – Weave
Our girl B is the queen of weaves. Think about it, when last did you see her with braids or soft dreads? This is why we look to her first for hair inspiration. This lace weave will make sure that your natural hair is protected if you treat it well, and you will feel warm this winter. Can you see how big these curls are?!
Minnie Dlamini – Wig
Wigs are great because they allow you to keep your natural hair in cornrows without being pulled. The presenter shows us how to rock a wig at the BET Awards.
Fulu Mugovhani – Braids
Fulu’s hairstyle is the most popular winter style. We love braids because if treated well, they can last up to 3 months – that’s the whole of winter.
Omuhle Gela – Cornrows
This hairstyle might not be great for your hairline if you don’t treat it, but it’s good as a protective style. Your natural hair will be covered, but the downfall is it won’t be for long. These kind of cornrows (known as straight back) usually last about 2 weeks.
Terry Pheto – Head Wrap
This is not a permanent solution, but wrapping your head is great for winter and bad hair days.
