natural hair stylist
Coily hair expert
A natural hair stylist specializes in cutting, styling, and caring for textured hair—particularly African American hair worn in its natural state rather than chemically straightened.
They work with coils, curls, locs, braids, and protective styles: I finally found a natural hair stylist who understands my curl pattern.
The specialty emerged as more Black women embraced their natural texture.
