Gone are the 1970’s, when most African American’s wore their hair in huge afros and then stuck their pick in their hair. There are many more choices in African American hairstyle’s that can be simple or complex in nature. Hair can be braided, twisted, hot set in rollers, pinned up, and left natural and flowing. The choice is completely up to you!
A short flippy hairdo is a great African American hairstyle that you will be sure to love! The ends are cut with a razor to eliminate the heaviness so it is easier to flip up. This short, choppy cut will give you a look that will say “attitude” and will make you feel great. Flowing, natural curls are a beautiful look as well. Hair is an extension of how you feel about yourself and you can use your hair to make yourself feel great or, if you don’t feel good about yourself, you can just let your hair just hang there with no style. Let your hair give your entire emotional well being a boost – get a style that you will love!
Color is a huge part of African American hairstyles. Red, blonde, brown, and black are the most common colors, although pinks, greens, and other bright colors will look great too. Two-toned color can give your hair depth and interest while expressing your creativity and fun nature. Whether two-toned color or all over color, this is sure to give you an entirely different look.
Extensions are a great way to completely change your look. If you have short hair, why don’t you try extensions and long, sleek hair? Extensions or weaves can also be used to add volume, add a splash of bright color, or achieve a completely new style. This is a great way to add interest and pizzazz to your look. Hair extensions can also be used to take the pressure off your natural hair from all of the abuse that it receives from hair products and tools. Weaves work by adding extensions into your own hair to create a new style or look. Weaving can be done by several different methods including bonding, tracking, and fusion. Bonding glues the extensions to the roots of your own hair. Tracking involves sewing extensions into the concentric braids from your own hair that the stylist will use as a base for the extension tracks. In fusion, hair extensions are glued to individual strands of hair. This is the most natural, but is also the most expensive method of adding extensions.
African American hairstyle’s need not be boring. Use your imagination to create new and exciting looks for yourself. Whether you just want to add color or you want a completely new style, you are sure to find a hairstyle that will make you look great!
