Our hair is a mold to our faces. It is impressive how much the entire mood, impression, and how we are perceived by others or even by ourselves change entirely with a change of haircut, hair color, or hairstyle.
I have natural curly hair. But for years and years, I couldn’t recognize the wild, free person I looked like with that hair, I wanted it straight and neat to fit in. It was a powerful process to embrace my curls, and today I feel like a totally different woman. Powerful images of gorgeous women embracing their natural hair such as the ones in this post were crucial to helping me recognize the energy I was keeping locked within by not accepting my hair.
Whether you are looking for a long, curly short, or updo witchy hairstyle, I hope you find it here.

In a world where a woman must look, in many contexts, all ¨ perfect ¨, with a pretty shiny aesthetically tidy face and hair, just wearing it all natural and down is a very powerful witchy authentic thing to do. Witches are not afraid to show off their inner potency, a great way to do this is through a natural and untamed hairstyle.

Conjuring authentic and satisfying results is hard and time-consuming work that takes a lot of imagination and creativity. That being said, below are some witchy aesthetic hair concepts.
