How do native American women wear their hair?

Answer 1

Since your question is in the present tense, the answer is they wear modern hair styles.

If you mean "How did . . ." in the past tense, there were many different cultures each with their own tribal traditions and styles, not just one way of doing things. For example, just in the area of the modern USA:

• women of the Plains tribes generally wore their long hair parted in the centre and loose, or woven in two braids hanging over the front of the shoulders (or down the back in the case of unmarried women). The central parting was often painted red.
• Women in the southeast woodlands wore their hair long and loose, without headbands; a few might braid the hair.
• In the northeast the hair was usually worn very long and loose, but for special occasions it would be "clubbed" - gathered and tied in a knot resembling a beaver tail. Woven headbands were sometimes worn.
• In the southwest region women's hair was often cut and used for making cords and rope - the result is that most women had their hair cut short.
• In the Plateau region the women often brought their long hair forward over the chest and tied it with cords or wrapped it with otter fur. Otherwise it was worn loose, without a headband.
• In California women either wore their hair long and loose, or cut it into bangs.
• Northwest coast women wore their long hair in braids down their backs, decorated with carved wood or shell pendants.

There were many other styles specific to particular tribes - a notable example is the "squash blossom" hairstyle of the Hopi, used by young girls (see link below for an image:
