The braids are also accessorized with a stylish gold cord. We love the black and blue color combination and as you can see, it really makes a statement.

3. Marley Twist Ponytail

Next, we have a chic and stylish hair idea. Here we have medium Marley twists that have been styled into a high ponytail. The twists look so beautiful when worn in an updo like this. A hairstyle like this is versatile because it can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion. It will look great for relaxed and casual days but it can also be worn for special events too. Keep it simple like this or try the ponytail in a bold color.

4. Beautiful Faux Locs High Bun

If you want a hairstyle that makes you look like a Queen, then this is for you. Here we have jumbo faux locs that have been styled into a high bun. The locs are multi tone and there are a few curls too. It is just a beautiful hairstyle that will wow. It can be recreated in any color and it would be perfect for a special occasion.

5. Long Textured Locs

The next hairstyle features more locs. This time we have multi tone textured locs and they are styled into a trendy half up, half down look. We love the colors used as the light and caramel blonde shades are stunning. This is a chic and stylish hair idea. Recreate the long locs or you can try a shorter version of the style. Either way, your hair will look fabulous.

6. Cute Natural Bun Updo

Looking for a cute and easy to wear style? If so, this could be perfect. Here we have a low bun that is styled with a side braid. Now, we can’t see if the hairstyle features just one bun or if there are two braids and two buns on either side of the parting. However, both would look gorgeous. So, either create one bun with one side braid or go for the double buns. Both are natural styles that will suit everyone.

You can recreate this look or go for a brighter shade of red. Any red tone will look amazing.
