Many black women choose to wear their hair in unconventional styles that stand out in crowds while complementing their body type. Whether your hair is curly or straight, a faded haircut works beautifully for black women. Not only can it work with any casual outfit, but hoop earrings also pair nicely with it!
Pixie Cut
Pixie cuts are perfect for fine hair as their finely chopped layers add volume and body. Try opting for one like Rihanna’s that features face-framing bangs; salt spray can create an authentically messy texture for an eye-catching style. Chocolate brown hair color adds warmth and depth to any pixie cut, creating an appealing yet contemporary style. Additionally, this hue helps wavy or curly styles stand out.
Short Bob
The short bob is definitely your answer for an effortless look that takes minimal styling time and looks great with any natural texture. Not only is this style extremely chic and fashionable, but you can also add color for added variety! A bob with side-swept bangs will widen and balance out your features and can make a cute statement regarding hair style. Pair this look with any beautiful clips or headbands for an oval or oblong face shape!
Short Afro
If you have a short natural afro, add some drama with a shaved swirl design for added drama and feminine charm. This style works particularly well on TWA cuts as an alternative to faux fro-hawk or mohawk cuts. Model Maria Borges gives a fresh take on the classic TWA look with her sleek front-zone and use of ORS edge control gel, creating an effortless smoothness without the effort or fuss of complete blowouts. Pastel hair dye colors such as mint green or dusty lilac add another low-maintenance option for short natural afros, providing soft, warm shades that complement skin tones while emphasizing unique textures.
Hard Part
Hard part haircuts are an effortless way to add style and freshness to any haircut, particularly military buzz cuts or similar techniques. Use quality hair products like ours for optimal results that keep this eye-catching detail looking slick. Complex parts make an elegant design statement in quiff and pompadour styles and shorter hair or fade haircuts. This style features a clear razor line separating longer from shorter locks to create contrast and is commonly known as a shaved line or defining part haircut. A tricky part adds crisp, stylish design details that work with most contemporary haircuts.
Shaved Sides
Women’s shaved side haircuts look fantastic and can set you apart. Easy to maintain and suited for wearing multiple styles – adding designs on top can add dimension. Example of this style includes using a comb-over fade or bowl cut for a unique and standout look, or you could try a short quiff or mohawk hairstyle with shaved sides for something else entirely. Taper fade haircuts offer another excellent solution for men seeking shaved sides haircuts: thick-haired people may prefer this style which pairs nicely with beards and will save time on touch-ups.
Cropped Short
There are various styles to consider when it comes to styling short-cropped hair. From the pixie cut made famous by Mia Farrow in Rosemary’s Baby to Twiggy’s Mod style, there will surely be a cropped hairstyle suitable for every individual. The Gamine cut is another popular way of wearing cropped hair, providing another great way to draw the focus back onto your face and eyes. This style helps accentuate both aspects of your look. Add some flair and pops of color with headbands or statement earrings; this will elevate your look year-round! Likewise, if you have dyed your hair, remember to use color-safe shampoo and conditioner so it won’t fade too rapidly!
