Most people, including celebrities are into protective styling, especially when your hair is being styled with heat and coloured multiple times. Whether it be wigs, weaves or braids, it can sometimes be an easier way to protect and style your curls.
So when lockdown hit, gone were the days of going to the salon, and now we say hello to becoming our own personal stylist. As people become more comfortable with their natural texture, there has been no better time than now to really get to know your natural kinks, coils and curls.
So, let’s take a look at some of the celebrities that are embracing their natural kinks, coils and curls while during lock down.

“I am most “Yara” when my curls are doing what they do! I have never had the same hairstyle twice because my curls have their own personality.”
Being naturalistas, I think we can all agree with this one. Her curly tresses really show just how versatile natural hair can be. Now is the time to be exploring our curls, not hiding them.

“Look at my hair.....wow, I’m so proud of myself.”
The whole internet went crazy when rapper Cardi B showed off her natural tresses. For someone who is known for wearing colourful wigs, she has definitely found the trick to taking care of her natural hair, and I think we all know what that is. Her famous DIY avocado hair mask. I mean, as naturals, who doesn’t love a bit of DIY.
How have you found caring for your natural curls during lock down?
It's time to say no to dry and brittle curls. Take a peek at our favourite regimen that we curated for all curl types, proven to add moisture, hydration and protection.
Past research showed that our hair needs a solid regimen that incorporates 50% of moisture and 50% of protein. Now, new research has come to light showing that in fact the ratio couldn't be more incorrect and dated now.
I have been using deva curl for years and I am now switching to flora and curl! I am long past due for a trim and this product still revived my ends and made my curls look so much more hydrated.
Fantastic! I use it with the sweet hibiscus curl activating lotion, and curl defining gel, and dry with a defuser. My curls look bouncy, well defined and frizz free. Plus it holds all day and evening. Would definitely recommend.
