Short natural hair is a beautiful statement, but sometimes, you might crave a little extra styling inspiration. Whether you have a TWA (teeny weeny afro), a tapered cut, or hair that's just starting to gain some length, there are tons of gorgeous ways to embrace your texture. Let's dive into some simple yet stunning natural hairstyles that are perfect for short hair.
1. The Classic Wash-and-Go
-
This style celebrates your natural curls and coils in their purest form. Simply cleanse, condition, and apply your favorite styling products. Let your hair air dry or use a diffuser for definition.
2. Mini Twists
-
Twists are protective, versatile, and gorgeous on short lengths. Create small, two-strand twists all over your head for a defined and elegant look.
3. Finger Coils
- Finger coils create springy, eye-catching definition. Work in small sections, applying styling products and twirling your hair around your finger.
4. Bantu Knot-Out
- Bantu knots themselves are cute, but the real magic happens with the knot-out! Unravel your knots for a bouncy, textured style with plenty of volume.
5. Slicked Edges
- Add instant polish to any short style by slicking down your edges. Use a bit of edge control and a small brush to create swoops and swirls around your hairline.
6. Accessorize!Embrace headbands, scarves, hair clips, and other fun accessories to elevate any short natural hairstyle.
