Natural hair is:
Beautiful. Wild. Gorgeous. Amazing. Dope. Edgy. Fun. Lovely. Jaw-dropping.
All of those things are wonderful, they truly are. But let’s not forget one last adjective:
Sexy.
Yes, I said it. Natural hair is sexy – regardless of what type of kink, coil, curl, length, and thickness. Don’t believe me? Check out these seven sexy natural hair styles – guaranteed to make you feel H-O-T!
1. Wild and Sexy Stretched Curls (Curlformers)
For naturals with hair that is shoulder-length and beyond, Curlformers are an amazing way to stretch hair into super soft curls full of body for a day-to-night look. From personal experience, Curlformer sets are best done of freshly cleansed and detangled hair. For Naptural85‘s method, all you need is:
- Aloe Vera Juice
- Water
- Homemade Silky Shea Butter Cream
- Plastic Clips
- Bobby Pins
- Modified Denman Brush (optional)
2. Sexy Curly Fro
Not to be outdone, jemy1415 shows naturals with shorter hair how to create great curls for date night or any special occasion. For best results, start on freshly washed hair. To get this look, you’ll need:
- Leave-in product
- Shea Butter
- Perm Rods
3. Hot Curly Frohawk
Frohawks are spicy, fun, and incredibly popular. You can rock it with freshly washed coils, or twist your hair beforehand for more definition. Not only is vlogger glamfun hilarious, she gives you two styles to work with in one. Rock a super-defined twist out or frohawk with:
- Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding (or twisting cream of choice)
- Perm Rods
- Shea Moisture Raw Shea Elixir (or oil spray of choice)

4. Thandie Newton Inspired Updo
This updo is classy, and just flirty enough for an after work dinner date. It’s also versatile enough to work on many lengths and textures of hair. No need for a fresh wash here, start with an old wash n’ go, bun, or even a stretched style. Get mrskw7‘s look by using:

The Straw Set is one of my all-time favorite looks to create, although one of the most time consuming. Perfect for transitioners and naturals of any texture, straw sets create springy, uniform, and voluminous curls throughout.

7. Bantu Knot-Out
Another one of my favorites that bodes well for transitioners and naturals of any hair texture is the bantu knot-out. It can be done on stretched, straightened, or completely curly hair. Depending upon your preference, the look can be done on freshly washed or previously styled hair.In this particular video, AFRICANEXPORT shows us how she achieved sexy, curly, waves on her mane with:
