African American Hairstyles

African American women's search for societal acceptance often encompasses struggle between natural and socially constructed ideas of beauty. As an essential component in traditional African societies, cosmetic modification is ritualized to emphasise natural features of blackness. Defined by social occasion such as childhood development to maturity, indicators of marital status or the group to which you belong, beautification of the hair and body play an essential role. In our racially conscious society, presenting a physical image and being accepted is a complex negotiation between two different worlds.Lois Corbin, an experienced hairdresser in the Harrisburg area, has seen styles come and go. She owns and operates her own salon and caters to the many different needs of her life long customers. Not only is her salon a place where hair styles are created, but it is also where confidence and relationships are built. Here Mrs. Corbin talks about how hair is both a physical and emotional statement .The classic bob hairstyle is one of the most popular hairstyles to be sported by African American women. Angular cuts on the back and sides impart an asymmetrical look to the bob cut. A bang can also be added to the cut, resting just above the eyebrows. The length of the hair at the back can be kept shorter than the hair length at the sides. Layered hairstyles are known to be in fashion at all times. Straightened short hair, with layers on the sides and at the back, is a good in-between style for those who are growing their hair long. Layered hairdo can be kept as short as pixie length or can be kept longer as well for a more versatile look. You will have to tell your hair stylist the exact length that you want for your hair, when you go for layers.

Short Curly Hairstyle


This hairstyle is a great example of using different styling methods on various sections of hair to produce a look that combines all the sections into a premiere look. Emilie de Ravin uses this gorgeous hairstyle to match her demure look but the hairstyle is versatile enough to match any style. The front of the hair features great facial framing and softening features by using the slightly angled fringe to cover the forehead region and focus attention to the eyes. The locks are curled and have a springy look and the ones near the front are styled close to the face. This hairstyle does an excellent job at facial framing which is why it is flattering to many facial shapes but it does not do well with showing off earrings or other accessories. Styling will require a curling iron, some styling products, and a brush to create the fringe and hair separation. Women will find the hairstyle more time consuming to create but the hairstyle does show just what can be done with trendy short hairstyles.


Bob Hairstyles


This is an incredible hairstyle worn by Katie Holmes and shows how to change up the chin length bob to create an alluring style. Katie takes this chin length bob and adds a sleek off-center part that is then pinned behind the ears. The sleek front part sweeps slightly over her forehead and really brings out her delicate facial features. The hairstyle also combines perfectly with the one shoulder strap dress and big loop earrings. She has used this simple hairstyle and created a trendy look that compliments her whole attire. Women often do not realize how a simple change in their current hairstyle can produce many other, lovely hairstyles. Styling the hairstyle is not hard either using some styling products and a round brush to create the sleek look at the front and the comb the hair behind the ears. Many women will find this short trendy hairstyle very flattering.
