Holiday Hair Inspiration : Amel Larrieux

A few Holiday style ideas from the a quintessential natural style icon, Amel Larrieux.

I hear a lot of natural chicks complaining about finding cute hairstyles for Christmas and we have even lost a few sistas recently to the creamy crack because of it. So I made sure to post these pics and videos to maybe give you and your hair some holiday cheer.

All of the styles listed are simple and easy to accomplish.

My fave is the half-up style with two twists in the front that are secured in the back for a beautiful silhouette.

The Twists, Glamorous Ponytail and Messy Up-dos are perfect looks for your holiday with the family.

My holidays are always really busy and the last thing on my mind is my hair. If you are the same way then try one of these styles on for a quick yet fabulous look.

Below are some of her classic videos and amazing hair moments. These videos will be sure to inspire and remind you why you went natural in the first place.
