How To Style Short Black Hair
Depending on how short you want your hair, you have so many options that are all equally fly. You could style it with a wave brush on the top and around the taper or a long comb.
If you have longer coifs and want your hairstyle to stay in place, you may want to use some firm hold spritz or something similar.
What Hairstyle Should I Get?
The best hairstyle you can get is one that accentuates your face. But you don’t have to get too concerned about that because if you have strong features, you can definitely pick a style that works.
Here are some popular short hairstyles:
- Corn Rows
- Finger Waves
- Twist Outs
- Bantu Knots
- Flat Twists
- Buzz Cut
So many people think a short hairstyle means the “Halle Berry cut,” but there’s way more to it than that, depending on if your hair is straight, curly or somewhere in between.
You can also go with shoulder-length coifs or a bob look that’s tighter around the crown.
What Faces Look Good With Short Hair?
When it comes to short hair, an oval-shaped face usually can rock the most styles. All of us have an oval face, by the way, but some are more oval than others.
You may feel that your face shape is more round than usual, and that’s OK too.
Obviously, if you have features that are especially peculiar, like huge lips or big cheeks, you may want to experiment with different styles for looks that bring out those features or hid them.
How Can I Style My Short Black Hair?
contrary to popular belief, styling is one of the most unique things you can do. You first want to comb out your hair. Go in the direction that it was wrapped, so that it doesn’t break.
Get your curling iron and curl your hair starting from the back. Be careful not to burn yourself!
You can moisturize your hair along the way, so that you can add fullness to your head. Here are some top hair moisturizers for black women.
