Short Hairstyles for Black Women to Inspire Your Next Big Chop
September 30, 2022Short, Relaxed Hair
Straightened short hair looks great with choppy, layered fringe. Call us obsessed, but we’re taking this look modeled by @napolinaoa to our next hair appointment.
Short Platinum Haircut
This short platinum haircut, styled by NYC-based hairstylist Daryce Willis is proof that curls and color are a perfect pair.
Bowl Cut
Bowl cuts are cool again, and we think the look below by @jastanae may have something to do with it.
Waves and Curls
This combination of waves and curls (created by hairstylist Tynisha Barnes) is particularly chic and a fun approach to a short look. We recommend using the L'Oréal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Curls Refresh and Reshape Leave-In Spray or the Carol’s Daughter Coco Crème Curl Perfecting Water Coco Mist to give dehydrated curls a boost in between styling.
Short Protective Hairstyle
Switch it up and try a short protective style — we love this braided look created by LA-based braider Tanasia. It’s a fun way to change things up without permanently cutting your hair.
Pincurls
Hairstylist Patrice Bowie takes finger-waves and curls to a new level with the look below, which is too cute for words.
