There are plenty of great hairstyles to choose from, but one that naturalistas love is the halo braid and for good reason. It is easy to create on almost any length of hair and hair type, it can be adapted into several looks, and it only takes a few minutes to achieve as opposed to more time-consuming styles.

2. Beaded Halo
For a twist on the natural hair halo braid, this beaded look is a fresh take on a classic look. While typical halo braids keep all your strands tucked up into the braid, this style frames your face and adds some texture and accessories to your look effortlessly.
