Black Men Hair Styles
82Black Men Hair Styles
African-American hair can be found to be naturally extremely curly, which also means they can put with many different types of hair styling. Many African American men prefer short, subtle styles and may find tight curls to be problematic. Others embrace their distinctive hair and wear it proudly. There are hair styles out there that can please both these types of men, with some styles being more popular or common than others.
Buzz cuts refer to a very short hair style that is usually shorn with clippers. This is best for the man that has little time and is busy, as it is easy to manage and only takes a few seconds to maintain. Due to the extreme curliness of black hair, buzz cuts tend to be very short so that the curls can be controlled. The edges of the hair cut along the hairline can be defined sharply or left to go its natural way as preferred by the wearer.
Shaved hairstyles are a bit longer than buzz cuts, and can feature some designs such as ridges and geometric patters, and sometimes even words. These are usually featured on the back of the head or approaching the nape of the neck. With this hair style the sides of the hair need to be tapered to get a shorter length closer to the hairline and sideburns.
Dreadlocks are a hair style can be achieved by interlocking coils of hair which form by themselves in all hair types. Fine dreadlocks can be obtained by letting the hair grow without any combing or brushing. The idea is let the hair get tangled up on its own, and not to rid your hair of these tangles. Special care is needed to sport this hair design, mainly when washing and re-knotting it. This hair style can be kept long, and can reach the waist.
The afro is a hairstyle that is distinctive to Africans. The hair is styled so that it juts out from the scalp. It is the same all over the head and the shape of the afro can be different, according to the preference of the wearer.
Cornrows are made up or very tight braids that are made as close as possible to the scalp as is considered comfortable. They can be made into intricate designs and shapes. These are easy to maintain and will stay in shape for several weeks, and a hair net is all that is needed to wash this hair.
Bantu, also called zulu knots, is a hair style that is made by parting the hair into many sections before twisting strands of hair into firm, tight knots. The size of the sections can be varied, as can the size of the knots. The sections can be broken into different shapes such as round, square, or triangular. If you want to be particularly creative, intricate designs can be worked out into the sections. The hair is finally twisted into a coil and the ends are secured with see-through rubber bands that are barely visible.

The Afro look is the way to go if you get it right. Some people should leave it alone, it is not for everyone.

Thank You Again!
@Lisa Luv & @kisszzl thanks for commenting on my hub. The second hairstyle was very innovative.
Thanks for the info, I've been trying for years to find the right look for my hair but it just keeps growing in all thick and curly so I tend to use the shorter look.
@jbounds I have the same problem. I would love to go for a longer look but I just can't get my hair to to act right.
Jezzz,
Not having this hair type, I have always wondered what it would be like. I have learned a lot, I had no idea it was so hard to control.
Thanks for sharing!
