Waterfall Devacut

Consider a very long, luxurious, signature Waterfall Devacut on for natural black hair. This is the type of locks that create a stunning high messy bun or just a low bun. My favorite thing is the drama that the length brings. A close second would be the additional curls that the added shaping in her interior brings.

African-American hairstyles like this are for black girls who have either thin hair with a very strong curl pattern that doesn’t dilute much with length or those who have a weaker curl and don’t mind heavy maintenance and diffusing with each cleanse and condition.

Very Thick Curly Hairstyle

With this very thick curly hairstyle is a great way to bring out your natural beauty and confidence if your hair is of African American descent. It’s also incredibly flattering, as the curls will make any face shape look more symmetrical. To achieve this style, communicate with your stylist about using products specifically tailored toward naturally curly hair. And don’t forget to use heat protectant before styling!

Full-Looking Natural Curls

If you want to achieve full-looking natural curls with the right styling techniques, it’s possible! Whether you have 3a or 4c hair type, your hairstylist can be helpful to get you the look you want. To create this style, start applying a curl-defining product and use an appropriate size curling iron for your hair type. For extra hold, finish with a light mist of hairspray.

Boho Gypsy Braids

Can I say how much I love boho gypsy braids? They’re always so flattering, and they make a statement. I’ve found that the best way to achieve this style is to start with braids and then add smaller hair pieces for texture. To keep your look lasting longer, try to use a hairspray that won’t weigh down the hair too much. With proper care, you can be sure your boho gypsy braids last!

Lightly Curled Long Bob

This lightly curled long bob is a soft and sweet hairdo that speaks volumes. Try adding curls just to the ends of your long bob for a sweetly chic attention-grabbing style.

Finding the perfect round brush is difficult, but Olivia Garden’s 2-inch 100% natural Boar Bristle Round Brush works well to achieve a perfectly smooth blowout. When curling hair, don’t curl any higher than mid-ear to achieve the perfect curl on the ends look. This style will be for oval, triangle, and oblong face shapes.

Box Braids with Passion Twists

Make a statement with a unique fusion of box braids and passion twists! Perfect for African-American women, these two styles of braiding offer the best of both worlds – the thickness and volume of box braids paired with the soft and natural look of passion twists. Achieving this hairstyle requires the skill of a braider who has experience with both techniques, so be sure to do your research and find someone who can execute this look.

Long Frizzy Curls

Another great African American hairstyle is long frizzy curls. When done correctly, this look can be very flattering and stylish. To get the best, you will want to use a light-hold styling product like mousse or curl cream and scrunch your hair with your hands for natural definition. For extra hold, finish off with a light mist of hairspray. If you’re looking for more volume at the roots, try using a volumizing powder before styling.

Thick 3C Spiral Curls

I’ve found that thick 3c spiral curls are some of the best when you want a long-lasting hairstyle. Each strand is tightly wound, giving your hair volume and bounce for days. To keep them looking fresh, use a leave-in conditioner to maintain their shape and hydrate the strands. With proper care, these curls can last up to two weeks!

Elegant Side-Parted Long Black Hair

Try the elegant side-parted long black hair look. I’ve found that one of the best things you can do to make this style nice is to choose a professional hairstylist with technical expertise. The stylist should be able to help craft your mane into a polished, beautiful look. To get the most out of this style, communicate what type of look you’re going for and ask for specific advice on how to style it.

Bouncy Touchable Curls

Bouncy touchable curls are the perfect soft style for your natural hair. You get the most out of your curls when they’re set on Flexi rods. My best advice is to ensure that your ends are trimmed and healthy so that you can wear your curls with a lot of movement.

Gorgeous Long Crochet Braids

You can always get the full hairstyle you want with gorgeous long crochet braids. The install doesn’t take much time, and this is a great option if you decide that you want something quick and cute. I suggest you work with your stylist to determine what curl pattern is a good fit for you. There are many crochet curly hair options.

Mid-Length Beautiful Middle-Parted Curls

These mid-length beautiful middle-parted curls are a great look for African-American women. I’ve found that it’s flattering, and my best advice is to keep in mind how you want your hair to move when getting a haircut. Tell your stylist you want an even cut with soft layers at the ends to get this style. When styling, use curl cream and air dry or diffuse for natural-looking curls. Be sure not to overwork the hair, as it can create frizz.

Light Brown Protective Braids

Protective braids are an excellent choice if you want a short-length option. If you care about longevity, ask for the Ghana technique. Ghana techniques continue to wrap around each braid at the roots. And, it keeps the cornrows protected. You can wear your hair for a couple of months with proper upkeep.

Unique Braids with Beads

If you’re looking for a creative protective hairstyle, try unique braids with beads. I suggest to ladies who embrace their ethnicity and go for different braid styles. Plan to turn heads with such a unique spin on tribal braid designs.

Hydrated Curls

Women on their natural hair journey will love how easy it is to style these hydrated curls. Hydration and moisture are the keys to healthy curls, so be aware of your hair’s nutrient intake and daily moisture. The number one thing to remember is that not every product works for every hair type, so ask your stylist what products and at-home practices are best for you.

Short Afro-Textured Hairstyle

Short afro-textured hair has an allure of its own. Show off your gorgeous short natural locks in this super cute short hairstyle.

How to style Short Afro-Textured Hairstyle:

1. While in the shower, apply a leave-in conditioner
2. Gently dry hair with an old t-shirt and apply a generous amount of curl crème
3. Lightly twist ends with natural curl pattern.
4. Allow hair to air dry.
5. Fluff curls as desired.

For defined and conditioned curls, on your African-American hairstyles, try Kinky Curly’s Knot Today conditioner. This pixie afro style on natural curls will work for all face shapes.

Curly Pixie for Short Natural Hair

Consider an African-American hairstyle that is a perfect naturally curly pixie cut.  Ladies need to know that short hair does mean maintenance. However, it’s all in the haircut. A good haircut can make or break any style. Find a hairstylist that specializes in pivot point cutting. This allows me to give each lady a cut especially for them, their head shape, and their lifestyle. So, yes, the stylist who provides this cut should personalize it for you.

When it comes to products, less is best. This style is very soft. I use essential oils on the hair, so it’s very healthy. Heat is at a minimum. Just have fun with your hair long or short, discuss with your stylist in detail, and don’t forget to ask questions.

Naturally Curly Kinky Hair

Women with naturally curly kinky hair should try a reddish hue! Tight coils look spectacular with expertly placed red and warm-toned highlights. Be sure to ask your stylist to place several highlights around the face to draw more attention to your best features.

Stunning 3c Curls

A lightweight easy-going style for girls with 3c hair has stunning curls. 3c textured hair has a looser curl pattern and doesn’t shrink up so tight with water. If you want to wear your natural curls, keep it moisturized and allow your stylist to shape your hair when needed to keep unhealthy ends away. Middle part or side part, however you decide to wear it, natural curls on 3c hair will always be a winner.

Voluminous Bright Natural Curls

Bright voluminous natural curls are a gorgeous look on women with naturally full and long hair. Your stylist can refer to the 70s-style bangs, which help manage the front and create a stylish frame. If you’re wanting to avoid a flat one-note look, consider getting some warm highlights to add some sparkle and depth. Don’t forget to keep a serum or moisturizing cream and a finishing spray to keep the frizz away!

Sexy Copper Curls

Get into these sexy copper curls, especially if you’re wanting to let your hair be free and be worn effortlessly. Perfect for women with 3a-3c textured hair, your natural curl pattern does all of the talking with just a little moisturizer. Talk to your stylist about some balayage or lowlights to add some warm depth to your curls. Be prepared to re-define your curls most mornings. This is easily done with a natural hair curl refining product such as Cantu, or on wet hair with a softening mousse.

Gorgeous Thick Natural Curls

Gorgeous thick natural curls reign supreme once more! If you’ve got em, now is the time to let your curls shine. One of the best ways to keep your coils bouncy and happy is to deep condition regularly, and reach for a moisturizing curly mist when needed. If you’re in need of a recommendation, try Mielle Organics. Their range of curly products is sure to keep your curls healthy and happy.

Black girls’ half-shaved style is done on a natural side part, ending behind the ear. Women who wear half-shaved hairstyles are fearless and adventurous, as they are not afraid of trying something new.

Side-Parted Curly Bob Hairstyle

A side-parted curly bob hairstyle can create shape and highlight your cheekbones. Curly bob hairstyles can save you a lot of time and money when it comes to styling. However, it does limit your styling options. Tuck one side back and accessorize to personalize your style.

Dreads for African-American Women

Wavy Lob for Black Women

A wavy lob for black women can be effortless and chic with any hair texture. This look will introduce body and movement to your tresses when styled with a curling iron for soft waves. A good thing about this style is that women can go longer than a week without adding heat to it.

Chic & Eccentric Swirls and Braids

This African-American hairstyle is described as chic and eccentric by stylist Kay of Hampton Roads, VA.

This style can be worn as shown or taken out and worn as curls. Kay advises that knowing the hair texture is very helpful to determine which products to use and whether it would be better to do the style on dry or semi-dampened hair.

Feed-In High Ponytail

A feed-in high ponytail  is very versatile. It was styled and created by professional braider, Janae Brice of Georgia.

“You can put it to the side, directly in the middle, or into a large bun! This look can be worn for any type of casual or professional event,” says Brice.

Fulani Braids Hairstyle

This style is called “Fulani Braids”. Stylist Reya of the UK created the box braids at the back of the head, while the front of the head is a row of cornrows. It’s like taking parts from two separate African-American hairstyles and turning them into one hairstyle.

According to Reya, “This long hair can be styled a handful of different ways because the braids at the back of the head allow for easy styling and manipulation. Ultimately, these braids can be worn in an updo, a ponytail, half up half down, or even in a bun.”

Reya recommends tying down the braids at night with a silk headscarf to prevent frizzing. It’s also important to moisturize, whatever your hair type, before and after braiding to prevent the hair from drying out. Remember that this is a protective style, so make sure you protect your hair and scalp.

Short Edgy Razor Cut for Black Women

Opt for disconnected and edgy razor-cut bangs with stunning highlights and a caramel base for black women.

Created by stylist Loriane Jackson of Chicago, this color can be achieved with Wella 7W, Blonde Brilliance bleach, and 20 volume developer by Wella. This dynamic and edgy bang was shampooed with Joico K-Pak and conditioner and molded to the shape of the head with It’s a 10 leave-in and the Nairobi foaming wrap.

Jackson states, “She was placed under the dryer for 45 minutes, then combed out. I added a pea-sized amount of grapeseed oil for styling, rubbing it throughout the hair. I used a 1/2-inch flat iron to silk out and finish the hair.”

Trendy Waves for Short Hair

Here’s a wavy look that’s classic with a modern twist! Waves are definitely trending. Georgia-based stylist Tynisha Escobar says, “The waving technique allows me to be as detailed and creative while giving a woman optimum longevity.”

Escobar adds, “I recommend this look to any lady who enjoys a low-maintenance and trendy style. It’s ideal for those with short, chemically relaxed hair.”

Side Cornrows Braid Style

These side cornrows are super edgy and worth a try!

Designed by hair artist Madaline of Georgia, she says, “it fits every woman’s face shape and it makes your appearance more appealing because it brings out your jaw structure and facial features that would normally be covered. It contours your face and neck naturally. It also makes a woman’s face look slimmer and more chiseled, no matter the body type.”

Madaline only uses one product when doing these side braids. “I use Beeswax because it slicks down any hair texture and makes it easy for me to carve my way around. Beeswax also grows your hair really fast and keeps it moisturized from the time I apply it until the time they take down the hairstyle,” Madaline explains.

Vintage-Inspired Waves

These vintage waves are very classic. The style really speaks to the vintage 1920s flapper look that has resurfaced over the past few years. Virginia-based stylist Delvina Jeffries says, “My favorite thing about this style is that it’s effortless for a stylist to achieve this look and easy for ladies to maintain at home.”

This style really works best on fine or relaxed hair. It’s a great low-maintenance, get-up-and-go hairstyle that can work with most face shapes.

Protective Bob Braids

This braided bob is a protective style for most Black/African-American women. It’s an average short bob that’s perfect for the hot summer. “What I love about it is that you can just get up and go in the mornings,” states stylist Stella Styles of Palm Beach, FL.

To recreate this look, you will need six to ten packs of braiding hair and a protective styling hair jam/grease, as well as a flamed candle or flat iron to burn off the tips into the desired length.

Styles adds, “The type of women I would recommend for a braided bob would be those who would like a protective style that is less maintenance.”

No-Fuss Hair Coils

Opt for natural, no-fuss hair. The best thing about this look is that you can see those curls with flair!

The shaved designs help to enhance her curl type. With tighter curls, sometimes the curls can get lost, but this style helps to show them off.

Loose Shoulder-Length Waves with a Side Part

Here’s a loose wave style by stylist Jasmine Flagg of Cincinnati, OH. By using this method of straightening, it allows any texture of hair to have bounce and body.

Flagg emphasizes, “My favorite thing about this style is that it is a nice, soft and elegant style. It also allows flexibility with or without chemical, since many African-American women have transitioned from using relaxers to natural hair.”

She explains, “This look rarely fails. It’s nice and sleek, yet youthful. It also doesn’t add any tension, so it’s a nice way to let your hair breathe from your normal day to day styling. The only upkeep would be to wrap it at night and cover it with a silk scarf.”

Weightless Modern Long Curls

This African-American style of locks shows a diamond shape that accentuates the facial features. It’s nice how it falls weightlessly and how effortless it looks with her defined curls. The hair was cut curly and fully dry to create this shape. The curls were cut where they live!

Use only water-soluble products to recreate this look. Innersense Organic is one of my go-to product lines! Cleanse your hair with Hydrating Cream Hair Bath shampoo and Hydrating Cream conditioner. Style hair with Quiet Calm curl cream and I Create Hold gel.

Make sure to apply the styling products on sopping wet hair, adding the cream first and finishing with the gel for hold. Scrunch the hair to remove excess water and to allow the product to penetrate. We let the hair fully dry without touching the hair.

Once this hair is fully dry, scrunch it to break the gel cast. The curls will be plumped, soft, and hydrated!

Medium-Length Pixie with Red Highlights

A medium-length pixie makes a fun, playful, sexy look. Florida-based stylist Simone Ho-Sang loves how it’s a soft style overall with just a bit of boldness to it with the color.

This pixie cut is for the black woman who is up for a soft, cute, and edgy look. It’s great for women who want to take a little risk with their color. The ideal lady does need to have a bit of density in her texture to achieve this look, though.

Sassy Short Pixie
