3 Natural and Protective Hairstyles That Celebrate Black Women

Black History Month may have come to an end but our stories are far from over. In celebration of Black beauty and the faces who forefront it, “Good For(u)m” has returned for its second installment.

“Good For(u)m” exists to connect the Hypebae community to stories, instructions and inspirations behind Black hairstyles, while stimulating productive discussions around Black beauty and what beauty means for the people who make up our community.

We partnered with three Black creators across the business, entertainment, and beauty industries to learn firsthand about their natural hair stories and protective tutorials and how they can be added to our own get-ready routines.
