In this two-part post, hairstylist Dionne Smith shows us some gorgeous ways she styles natural hair.

I was inspired to show of the beauty of natural hair working across different textures, showing the versatility of curl manipulation.

I created different textures using different setting methods and styling accordingly.

All looks created are completely the models own hair except the 2 side braids where extension was added for length.

Be inspired to embrace your natural hair and get creative with it.”
