African-American short hairstyles

While the length of African-American hairstyles ranges from short to long, there are plenty of hairstyles to choose from. For most African-American women, they prefer short hair that can be managed easily.


The good thing about having short hair is it’s easily manageable and doesn’t require a lot of care to it, like long or medium hairstyles. In addition, you can change or add to it, anytime you desire.

Although, this is the case for short African-American hair, the choice of hairstyle should match with your facial features, personality, and texture of your hair. In either case, it is still your choice as to which short hairstyle you prefer.

But, if you are not sure as to which African-American short hairstyle to go with, here’s a few suggestions you should follow. First, I would go with the short Afro. The Afro is one of the most popular hairstyles among African Americans.

A good reason to chose this hairstyle is because it requires little maintenance and you don’t need and special gels or conditioners to wash the hair.

No matter what type of hairstyle, you have, curly, straight, short hair as an African-American deserve to have the best hair possible. The tips below will show you how this can be done.


Hear damage to the hair
• Before using a hair straightener, or another heated hair tool, wash and dry your hair thoroughly. If your hair becomes frizzled, do not do it again, as this will damage your hair.
• To retain the quality and shine of your hair, instead to using hair straighteners all the time, style your hair with buns, braid outs, and French rolls. This will put less stress on your hair and rest the follicles in your hair.


Bedtime Hair Care

• Very important: Before you go to bed, wrap or pin your hair up in a scarf. This will protect it from being damaged while in bed. Plus, it keeps your hair smooth.
• Before you go to bed, if applicable, unwind your hair to let it rest. The best way to do this is by using a wide-toothed comb.
• At night, use a moisture solution (a hair oil or serum) to keep the ends of your hair straight and moist. This should be done before rolling or wrapping your hair in a scarf. This will keep it moist all night long.

Regular Maintenance

• To keep your hair smooth and shining, do not go longer than a week without washing your hair. If you do this, your hair will become very brittle and dry. If you believe that washing your hair on a regular basis is a bad thing, it is not. In fact, keeping your hair washed will make your hair to last longer and your hair will maintain its good smell.
• Around every 2-6 months, you should trim the ends of your hair. Doing this will keep it healthy and looking very nice.

One thing to remember for the perfect black hair style is to take account of your build. For example, a close cropped black hair style does not suit one with a large frame. So remember to just make sure that your style and frame balance each other! The shape of the face too has to be taken into consideration when choosing the correct black hair style.

Basically, there are five face shapes; oval, round, square, heart and rectangular. Whatever face shape you may have, it is better to choose a hair style that makes your face appear more oval. The reason the oval face is identified as the best facial shape is because of the perfect symmetry of some of the facial features it has, like the distance from the lips to the bottom of the chin.
