There's a distinct lack of hair tutorials available for women with natural hair, but BuzzFeed's latest video is definitely a step in the right direction.
The tutorial 1 Woman + 11 Hairstyles does pretty much exactly what it says on the tin, and features a model having her hair styled into 11 heat-free looks in less than two-minutes.
The video, which showcases the work of stylist Ezmeralda Meco from Devachan Salon in LA, has already been viewed over 783 thousand times and received over 26 thousand likes since being posted last week.
Let's hope this is the start of more natural hair tutorials in the beauty world.
Find out how to recreate the looks here, and check out four favourite styles below:

When Willow Smith shaved her head, people were shocked that her mother let her do it in the first place. We were impressed. The teen proved that even though she liked whipping her hair back and forth, she didn't need it to define her. (credit:Roger Kisby via Getty Images)

The musician keeps her natural hair wild and free, and we think it looks awesome. But it doesn't come easy! Kish explained to Into The Gloss that her natural hair "is actually harder to maintain than straightened hair or weaves; it takes a lot of work." Well, that work is paying off, because her hair is amazing. (credit:Donato Sardella via Getty Images)
