Are you looking for a new way to wear your natural hair this spring? Then you need to take some serious style notes for the naturalistas we found rocking beautiful flower hairstyles for afro hair because they’ve got spring vibes written all over them!

The trend was started by Instagram star Kiera Please, and it’s all about getting playful with flowers (be they real or fake) and placing them in your natural mane. And guess what? The result isn’t just perfect for festivals or casual events, it can work a treat for formal affairs, too…

Flower hairstyles for afro hair: 7 ways to rock natural hair + flowers

1. Fluffed out natural hair with flowers

Some days, curls just have to be shown off! The best way to do it? By dotting around a few of your favourites flowers into your natural mane, like this beauty has done.

In order to get flowers in natural hair right you’ll need to use a wide teeth comb to fluff out your curls — the fluffier the better! Then, place your flowers around and get ready to take on the day, in style. Credit: @kieraplease

2. Natural floral updo

As well as accessorising her natural hair with flowers, Kiera works them into her updos, too.

For example, these breathtaking blue flowers have been peppered into her pineapple updo, effortlessly matching her flower arrangement to her blue eyeliner. Credit: @kieraplease

Editor’s tip: Want to pull off natural hair + flowers? Then you’ll need to ensure that your afro looks super moisturised with the help of a leave-in conditioning mist, like the TRESemmé Botanique Nourish & Replenish Hydrating Mist.

Enriched with coconut milk and aloe vera, this light-weight conditioning mist is great for detangling and hydrating your natural hair. But the best thing? It’ll leave your curls smelling heavenly!
