What is the best way to wear natural hair?
The best way to wear natural hair is the way you love, as long as it keeps your hair healthy.
Any style can be natural
Natural hair can be worn in twists, braids, locs, Afros and more. What makes it natural is that it hasn’t been chemically relaxed.
Keep it comfortable
The American Academy of Dermatology warns that cornrows, locs, tight braids, buns, ponytails and up-dos worn too tight can lead to traction alopecia. Its tips:
- Loosen braids, especially around the hairline.
- Choose thicker braids and locs.
- Keep braids and locs shorter, since longer hair is heavier and pulls more.
- Rotate between tight and loose styles.
- Watch for pain, stinging, scalp crusts or tenting, which mean a style is too tight.
Wear it with confidence
In 2019, California became the first U.S. state to ban discrimination over natural hair with the CROWN Act.
Wear a cap without sacrificing your style
Your natural hair should go wherever you go, including under a cap. Our patented natural hair hat adapter, Capizzy®, turns any fitted or snapback cap into a cap your hair can come through, so locs, puffs, braids, buns and ponytails stay uncrushed. Nothing is cut, and the cap goes back to normal anytime.
Graduating soon? Our patented graduation cap headband, Cappa® Band, lifts the mortarboard off your forehead so it sits back at a flattering angle and frames your face in every photo, whatever your hairstyle.
