The short hairstyles for black women are sassy and sporty and are a great way to accentuate their beautiful facial features. Moreover, they are extremely easy to maintain. With a short hairstyle, African American women can alternate between wearing it straight or adding a hint of curls or just letting it curl naturally. For those with straight hair, try the classic bob short haircuts or just choose a 'Halle Berry' layered hairstyle. For relaxed hair, try styling it into waves using a hair gel or get the sexy windblown look with the up flips.
Afro Hairstyles
The Afro hairstyle style is particularly suited for natural African hair and among others who have tightly curled or kinky hair. For the Afros, the hair is styled so that it stands out from the scalp. The overall shape of the silhouette created is round. However, this is subject to variation, depending on the individual’s preference. The hairstyle gained tremendous popularity in the 1960’s and 1970’s, becoming a fashion statement and a symbol of the strength and beauty of black hair.
The style can be created by spritzing the hair with a light oil or moisturizer and gently massaging it through the hair. Now use a hair pick with non-metal tines, to lift the hair out from the scalp and once the hair has been picked through thoroughly, use the palms of your hands to gently pat and shape the hair into a soft, rounded silhouette.
Hair Braiding
One of the most popular African American hairstyles, hair braiding designs are an integral element of the African American culture. From the simplest of the three strand braids to the complex micro braids and cornrow braid styles, braid hairstyles provide a versatile option for styling natural black hair. You can choose to either let them lie closer or hang freely from the scalp. Although it primarily suits the people with long hair, women with shorter hair can use hair extensions that can be used to braid the hair. 'Large Box' braids, also known as goddess braids, are created by plaiting artificial hair into large braids. Remember however, that hair which is braided too tightly may result in hair loss and thinning.
