Black women are blessed with thick strong hair that can be styled in different ways. If you are a black woman looking for an easy to manage option, cut your hair short. When Afro hair is trimmed away to open up the forehead, it can display your strong facial features prominently. Whether you keep your natural curls or get your hair straightened, there are many fun hairstyles you can try.

Short hairstyles for black women often have a back to basics look, in which the hair is cropped to reveal the ears. These sparse hairstyles come from tribal traditions, and go well with the defined facial features of black women. To give your hair a trendy look, you can cut it very short, with layered strands framing the sides of your face. To get a punk look, try edgy hairstyles such as undercuts, with razored patterns on the side of your head. You can also wear your hair very short and keep it neat with a hairband. If natural Afro curls are the look you want to work with, there are many hairstyle options you can explore. Short dreadlocks are a great option, and you can also try soft rounded hairstyles framing your face. Here are some cool hairstyles.
