Women with short, natural black hair can enjoy experimenting with their styles. For instance, you could opt for a faded haircut featuring shaved edges and long curly tendrils on top for a tomboyish vibe. Another chic protective style, the twist-out is another adorable option for achieving full curls without using heat, as it adds great texture to your locks and looks cute, too.
Fade Haircut
No matter, if your curls fall into a loose fro or are straightened into a pompadour, a faded haircut gives you an elegant and refined style. Boasting numerous variations to suit different types of black hair types, this popular hairstyle suits men of all kinds! Your preference can determine whether you prefer a low or high skin fade. A higher fade gives off more aggression, while lower ones suit guys with longer locks on top. Your barber can even create a temple fade that highlights your ears neatly. Another variation of the fade is the spiky fade, which highlights your natural wavy locks while creating a clean-cut style. Pair it with a side part for an impressive Justin Timberlake-esque formal and fashionable style. Use matte pomade or gel instead of too-oily products such as oil to avoid looking oily outside in direct sunlight! It is also crucial that sunscreen be worn during this process.
Tapered Haircut
A tapered haircut gradually alters your hair’s length over time, typically leaving longer top layers and shorter back/side layers. A tapered haircut also creates a less extreme, cleaner appearance than its counterpart, the fade. If you prefer a more gradual change without going to skin fading, ask your barber about a fade with blurred or skin fade options instead. This style resembles the high fade yet is less severe by blurring the line between your more extended top section and an area where all hair has been wholly shaven away. Add dimension to this tapered haircut by giving your team an eye-catching cinnamon hue or wearing it with a faux mohawk for maximum impact. Shadow styles provide another variation on a fade haircut and are an excellent solution for people who don’t prefer the look of full fades but adore its concept. Keep your hair trimmed regularly to maintain the shadow effect, pair it with curtain bangs to frame and accentuate facial features.
Short Curls
There are a variety of stylish yet approachable short hairstyles explicitly designed to embrace natural curl patterns while still looking fashionable. For example, you could wear your curls in a bowl cut for an easy yet stylish look that is youthful yet effortless. To give this style some added definition, add a textured fringe around your face for added dimension. Wolf cuts combine elements from both shag and mullet haircuts for an excellent way to enhance natural curls and add movement and volume without bulk or weight to your locks. Their choppy layers complement this feature as well. Add vibrancy and dimension to your shorts by opting for an eye-catching hue like this amethyst-colored pixie! This charming hue will frame your features beautifully while drawing attention to them. Pair this daring statement with a patterned side shave for an eye-catching fashion statement sure to turn heads.
Long Curls
Long curly hair can be stunning when left to its own devices, yet can easily be transformed with the right style. From mini afros and super short cuts like mohawks and mohawk-esque styles to tapered looks – long curls add the perfect amount of body that frames any face beautifully. Sides should be trimmed neatly above ears while length falls lusciously over shoulders. If you want to make a statement with your short afro, add colorful streaks for an eye-catching style or a sleek faux hawk with side patterns for easy maintenance and stylish appeal. If you have long curls, try this pineapple updo worn by actress Yara Shahidi to achieve a protective style with minimal fuss. Loosely tie your coils into two loose buns on either side of your head, leaving out face-framing tendrils at the front before spraying with non-crunchy hairspray to secure it all – an effortless look suitable for any special event or casual gathering!
