Here are 3 Easy Hairstyles that are Helping Naturals Look Professional at Work
For most naturals, looking professional at work has its challenges.
The easiest thing would be to have complete freedom to look and dress however we wanted.
After all, we were born this way, and people should just get over it, right?
Yes, true.
But even if we could get away with messy hair and yoga pants… would we feel confident and capable enough?
Maybe, maybe not.
Either way, chances are that you’re facing some pressure to look a certain way when you walk through the office door. And that means you need to play the role and meet expectations (or exceed them!).
How do you achieve this when you’re natural? You hunt for professional styles, learn to do them over the weekend, and show up on Monday with great natural hair.
Below are three hairstyles that will help you level up your game in the work environment:
Headband with High puff. When you have short hair, you’ll quickly find out that it becomes almost impossible to get your hair into a ponytail. So, what can you do instead? A high puff!
And even better… it helps to have something to grasp the stray hairs that didn’t quite make it into the hair tie.
You’ll need a SwirlyCurly Headband, plus either two Snappeers™ or two Afro Puff Scrunchies to do this style. First, finger comb your hair up to the top of your head.
Then, snap the two Snappees™ or the Afro Puff Scrunchiestogether and place around your forehead, like you would do with a headband. Guide the Snappees™ or Scrunchies up to the crown of your head. Now your high puff is done, and it’s time to do the headband part.
Place the unsnapped headband around your hairline, and snap.
Yay for easy!
Curly Bangs with a Headband. Putting your bangs out is a super stylish and different from the norm type of hair style, its easily complimented with a headband to hold the bangs in place. You’ll need a SwirlyCurly Headband.
Use your fingers to part a section from the front of your head to create bangs. Add additional side hairs from around your ears if you desire.
Apply your SwirlyCurly Headband around your head just slightly behind your hairline and the bangs you've parted. Snap the headband on at the back and use your fingers to bring out additional hairs from the back of your head.
Adjust front bangs for a side part or no part at all. Fun and done!
Low Puff with Twisted Headband. This is a great option for short or long natural hair that looks super fun with a headband. You’ll need a SwirlyCurly Headband and either a Snappee™ or an AfroPuff Scrunchie to do this style.
First, gather all your hair in at the middle center of your head. Wrap your Snappee™ or Afro Puff Scrunchie around the gathered hair and snap to make your low puff. Now take two of your SwirlyCurly Headband's and snap them together on one side, leaving the other side open, then wrap around your hairline, cross them at the top and twist them as you wrap them back down to meet at the back of your head. Snap them to secure the headbands and then use a pick to add volume to the puff if you'd like. Easy, right?
Natural Hair Expert, Keziah Dhamma, says that two of the biggest issues with natural hair are breakage and long hours spent on maintenance. She created the SwirlyCurly Headband for the woman who wants healthy hair and effortless styling.
When you work in a professional setting, you may get tempted to try quick solutions to solve your hair issues, but some styling methods can be disastrous to your hair’s health.
“Working in an office undoubtedly means your appearance will be scrutinized,” says Keziah Dhamma, Founder, and CEO of SwirlyCurly. “No one likes it, but it happens. The best thing you can do is preserve your values and find ways to wear your natural hair professionally so that it can get the boss's approval.”
One of the biggest struggles naturally curly women face is the loss of edges. Pulling the hair too tight and allowing cotton to rub against your edges can damage your hairline and cause alopecia.
That’s why SwirlyCurly’s innovative products are made of soft and stretchy nylon. They’ll help to protect your curls.
SwirlyCurly Headbands are available in three versions: Brown, Black, and Black Velvet. The first two are made of the same fabric of yoga pants.
All the headbands feature Edge Protect technology™, perfect for anyone trying to avoid alopecia (just about everyone!).
The Black Velvet is also super-soft, but it has that added luxury look—perfect for interviews and office meetings.
Judging by the photos and videos, Dhamma, who is a model and entrepreneur, has no trouble keeping her natural hair thick and healthy. She praises SwirlyCurly Headbands for helping her to grow and retain beautiful, healthy curls.
“Natural hair is amazing, but it will take others some time to adjust and accept it in the workplace,” explains Dhamma. “Your natural hair journey can be a bit rough if you're working in the office, but before you pick up the flat iron… you’ll want to find some premium accessories to create a professional appearance. Doing this can save you lots of time, effort, and energy. It’ll save your curls too!”
SwirlyCurly Headbands are different from anything on the market today because they have a snap. That means you’re not pulling the band over your hair, possibly causing breakage.
You’ll be able to style your hair faster because you don’t need to make sure your hair is perfectly flat when styling in the morning. Just place your hair in a puff or bun, put your headband on, and go!
You can even use your headband to quickly lay your edges and stash it in your bag as you arrive for work!
Your morning routine is about to get much easier. You’re going to love and appreciate your SwirlyCurly Headband after you see the profound difference it can make.
