Girl, How Did You Style Your Hair? 💇🏾‍♀️✨

If you’ve ever stepped out and heard someone say, “Girl, how did you style your hair?” — just know you’re doing something right. Hair is one of the first things people notice, and in Ghana, hair is not just hair… it’s a statement, a crown and beauty 😍

From wigs to braids to natural hair, styling your hair well can elevate your whole look, boost your confidence, and even change how you carry yourself. The good news? You don’t need to break the bank or visit the salon every week to slay consistently.

Let’s break down how to style your hair like a pro, no matter your vibe or lifestyle.

1. Know Your Hair (This Is Where It All Starts)

Before styling, you need to understand what you’re working with. Is your hair natural, relaxed, braided, or under a wig most of the time? Each hair type needs a different approach.

● Natural hair thrives on moisture and protective styles

● Relaxed hair needs gentle handling and low heat

● Wigs and braids need scalp care and proper maintenance

Once you know your hair type, styling becomes easier and less stressful.

2. Pick Styles That Match Your Lifestyle

Not every trending hairstyle is for everybody — and that’s okay. Choose styles that fit your daily routine.

● Busy work schedule? → Bone straight wig, low bun, or cornrows

● Always on the move? → Braids, twists, or short bob wig

● Soft life energy? → Deep waves, curls, or natural wash-and-go

A hairstyle should make your life easier, not harder, because life itself is already showing us pepper 😭

3. Master Simple Everyday Styles

You don’t need a full glam team to look good. Some simple styles can still give you that “put-together” look:

● Sleek low ponytail

● Half-up, half-down wig style

● Middle-part bone straight

● Simple side-part curls

Sometimes less is more, and you don’t always have to do too much 😘

4. Don’t Ignore Your Edges and Front Hair

Edges can make or break a hairstyle. Even the most expensive wig can look messy if the edges aren’t laid properly. Use a light edge control and don’t overdo it — your edges are precious.

Also, ensure your wig line or parting looks natural. That’s the secret behind the “Is that your real hair?” question.

5. Hair Accessories Are Your Secret Weapon

Headbands, clips, scarves, scrunchies, pins, and hair ties can switch up a basic style instantly. A plain wig can look brand new with the right accessory.

Bonus: scarves protect your hair while adding style. Win-win.

6. Heat Is Not Your Friend (Most Times)

Too much heat damages hair — natural or wig. You don’t need to flat iron every day. If you must use heat, always apply a heat protectant and keep the temperature moderate.

Healthy hair > temporary slay.

7. Clean Hair Styles Better

Dirty hair doesn’t cooperate. Whether it’s your natural hair or a wig, clean hair styles better, smells better, and lasts longer. Regular washing and conditioning go a long way. Girl, don’t let the smell of your hair drive people away 🫢🙂

8. Protect Your Hair at Night

All your effort can go to waste if you sleep anyhow. Always wrap your hair with a silk scarf or bonnet before bed. This keeps styles neat and prevents breakage.

Bonus: it helps you sleep well with no hairs messing around your face 🤭

9. Switch It Up — But Don’t Overdo It

Changing your hairstyle is fun and refreshing, but constant switching without rest can damage your hairline and scalp. Give your hair breaks in between styles.

Remember: rest is also part of growth.

10. Confidence Is the Final Touch

At the end of the day, the best hairstyle is the one you wear with confidence. Whether it’s a simple low cut, natural fro, or full frontal wig — own it.

Because when you feel good, it shows.

Final Thoughts
