Yes, we know that blowouts help to elongate the hair, making it easier to manage, style, or braid.
And in case you’re prepping for other hairstyles, like twist-outs, bantu knots, or sleek updos, you don’t need to worry – a blowout is stunning on its own!
So, whether you’re going for a sleek look, or something wild and free – a blowout gives you the perfect canvas.

This article was a joke.
Help me understand why Cass. Maybe, I can make it better. =)
Angela I think you did a great job, a beautiful selection of hair styling ideas for afrocentric hair.
I’m glad you loved it. =) Thank you so much Star.
There were not any hair STYLES associated in the article . It was literally just different women with the same blown out style . I’m confused as to why a non black woman is writing about black women styles especially with no apparent knowledge on our hair ?
Hey Iyanna,
I don’t deny that the article needed more hairstyles.
I focused a lot more on shapes and providing photos so people could be comfortable letting their hair loose. I tried to approach it from a different angle, but you’re right, it definitely needed more hair “STYLES.” I’ve added around 20 more and tried to make them more diverse.
I appreciate your patience.
Warm regards,
Angela
