Short Hairstyles
By
Today’s Black Hairstyles have increased in beautiful design and diversity thanks to new formulations in black hair products allowing hair to maintain strength, reduce breakage and maintain moisture.
Long, short, and wavy hairstyles have pushed their way to “center stage” with increased functionality and beauty. Hair extensions, coloring, straightening are now made increasingly possible with advanced designs and proper hair care.
What’s new in Black & African American Hairstyles
Women’s hairstyles have become more diverse with longer, wavier cuts becoming most popular in 2008. Thanks to Beyonce and numerous celebrities, smooth, silky and wavy designs are the look. For those of you with shorter hair, don’t despair. The same techniques used for long hair apply equally to short hair as well.
Smoothing and straightening with African American hair products has become less damaging thanks to products containing Jojoba Oil. Mineral oil, used for years to clean and moisturize, is damaging to hair follicles. Jojoba oil has made intense styling more safe without as much risk of breakage or hair fall. Straightening, relaxing, perming and highlighting allow for some beautiful designs and the risk of harmful over-styling is becoming reduced.
For men, the short and tight look of the past few years is subsiding. Short, but more natural styles are coming on the scene with lengths from 1/2 inch to two inches most popular. Moisturizing conditioners, styling aids and periodic use of clarifying shampoos has allowed hair styles to maintain their luster and shine without depleting moisture.
Braids and dreadlocks continue to be the style for longer hair, but fast hair growth or extensions (or growing your hair a very long time) are necessary.
Keys to maintaining healthy Black Hair
Black and African American hair is dense and its molecular cell structure is compact. This leads to dryness. Sebaceous glands at the hair root emit sebum (oil) which is inhibited not only by the thickness of the scalp follicles, but by the often kinky or tightly wound nature of black hair.
Oils are unable to coat the follicle as efficiently therefore dryness, breaking and product build-up are common. Infusing moisture is the key to maintain healthy hair enabling advanced hairstyles.
Moisture can come from within – drinking plenty of fluids, maintaining a healthy diet of raw vegetables and fruits, avoiding moisture depleting styling, or hydration can be topically applied externally with rinse-out and leave-in conditioners and moisture shampoos.
Advances in Black Hair Products
In the past several years, two ingredients have emerged from manufacturers that have helped dramatically improve black hair products. One, LusterPlex, an active ingredient in many hair products, has been shown to greatly enhance the shine, sheen, silkiness and manageability of black hair care. Used primarily in shampoos and conditioners, it was originally formulated to add shine to long, smooth hair.
As often is the case with many products or ingredients, it found uses far more diverse. In studies it has been shown to improve tensile strength, strengthening weak or breaking hair, and greatly increasing shine, while softening – allowing for a new range of hair designs.
Two, Jojoba Oil has now taken its rightful place as a replacement for mineral oil. Often used to aid in styling, cleansing or to add hydration, mineral oil leads to damaged follicles and thinning. Jojoba oil naturally deep cleans and hydrates and leaves hair stronger while effectively removing dirt and product build-up that often lead to flakes and flaking.
Though used as an active ingredient in many hair products to increase cleansing, it is often combined with other “actives” such as Panthenol or Trichogen to soothe the scalp or increase hair growth.
Black hairstyles are beautiful and luxurious – and maintaining proper health and strength has enabled straightening, relaxing and perming to accelerate beautiful styles without damage and breaking.
Whether you’re looking for smooth, straight and highlighted designs, or prefer short and natural, today’s black hairstyles now provide beautiful, celebrity-like selection with black hair care and advanced active ingredients.

There are many styles that would be appropriate for little girls, and just as many that are not.
You have to consider how thick her hair is, what type of hair she has, how much skills does she have to look after it, and how much patience her mother has! These all are very important.
If she has straight hair, and fairly thick, a short bob with straight bangs would look wonderful. You are showing off the straightness, and the sleek look of smooth healthy hair. It will need frequent trims to keep it looking good, so keep that in mind too. Thinner hair can look good too, but it is harder to keep it neat.
If she has curly or wavy hair, the bob won't look that nice. I would suggest a short layered cut to show off the curls. Something like a pixie or gamine is what I have in mind (look up those words). It will be easier to keep as the curls will give it some movement and shape. Again, as soon as it gets a little too long, it will droop and look untidy.
For a child of 10, you don't want something that is going to be a lot of work to keep looking neat, especially if she is a very active child. Mothers usually don't have all that time to spend on a child's hair. If the child is not at all interested in taking some control of her appearance, you also want a very easy-to-manage style. As she gets older, and has some skills in doing her hair, she can let it get a bit longer, but then the responsibility of keeping neat is up to her. If she can't do that, then it will have to be short again!
Remember: the shorter the hair, the less work to keep it neat.

what kind of treatment do you do with your hair? my hairs about the same length if not shorter, but i do more of a curled look…idk if my texture can pull off those looks, but im gonna try!!!
September 18th, 2009 at 10:18 pm
The best way to get ideas is to look at celebs with round faces. (Michelle Williams and Kelly Clarkson are two.)
Avoid super blunt cuts and chunky bangs. Layers lighten the roundness.
Short hair can be flattering for a round face, but it has to be cut the right way. Also consider your hair type. A cut that flatters a round faced person w/ curly hair may not work for someone with straight hair.
