5 Ways You Can Style Naturally Curly Hair And Look Amazing

If you have a lion’s mane, otherwise known as naturally curly hair, then you most likely often struggle with styling your hair in a way that is both manageable and looks amazing. Often, we struggle so much with maintaining our curly hair we turn to our best friend but mostly enemy, the flat iron.

Well, while flat ironing your hair can be fun, you’ve probably found that if you use it too often on naturally curly hair, your hair has perhaps become brittle, damaged, dry or maybe even lost its curl pattern. And why not embrace those gorgeous natural curls if you’re lucky enough to have them?

It’s an ongoing battle of course, but fret not! We’ve got five amazing hairstyles for naturally curly hair that will hopefully encourage you to swap the flat iron for some curl cream!
