Short Hairstyles for Black Hair

Black hair is perhaps the most common hair color all over the world. Most Asians have this hair color; African Americans and Africans generally have black hair; some Hispanics and even Caucasians may be born with black hair too.


This hair color is indeed a classic one that many non-black-haired celebrities often choose to have their hair dyed in order to sport a black hair. This hair color looks good in all skin types too. It complements dark skin perfectly, and provides an attractive contrast to fair skin.

Whether short or long, shiny black hair looks beautiful and sophisticated. So if you have black hair, you can opt to sport a short or long hairstyle. If you go for a short hairstyle for your black hair, here are a few hairstyles to choose from. But first you need to determine the shape of your face as short hairstyles can either make you look good or bad depending on how your choice affects your facial features.
Then you need to consider the texture of your hair. If you have frizzy hair, it is usually best to have a short cropped hairstyle. If your hair is wavy, a short shaggy hairstyle like Halle Berry’s would be perfect. But if you have fine straight hair, you can have a lot of short hairstyles to choose from. You can opt for bobs, cropped hairstyles, page boy haircuts, or a wind-swept look.

The next thing to consider is your lifestyle. If you live a modern active lifestyle, you may go for very short hairstyles that are easy to manage. Your personality may also be a factor in choosing a short black hairstyle.
Short black hairstyles look classy and sophisticated especially if they are soft, shiny and smooth. Whether your hair is straight, curly, or wavy, you should make it a point to take care of your hair properly so that it glows with good health and strength.

Short Bob Hairstyles

Short bob hairstyles can be very elegant, sophisticated and fashionable. Depending on your hair type and color, you can choose from among several trendy bobs that complement your facial features very well. A short bob hairstyle works best for straight hair. Here are a few bob hairstyles that you may want to try. But be sure to ask your stylist of a certain hairstyle that complements the shape of your face well and start from there.

Best for light-colored and straight hair

A bob that flows down the neck and curves inward with bangs that reach the eyebrows would look great in women with fine straight hair. The sides should frame your face by keeping them level with your jaw.

Another famous bob is one sported by many models. It is unequally parted to one side and drops in shags framing your head and face.

Then you can also try the Paris Hilton bob – parted on the side, cut unevenly at the back and on the sides. This looks very elegant if you know how to wear it.

Best for straight dark-colored hair

A bob that exposes the nape, curves inward framing the head and face and is parted either on the middle or on the side is perfect for straight dark-colored hair. A variant of this short hairstyle would be one that is slightly longer flowing down just above the shoulder blades.

Another one is the one sported by Selma Blair. The hair is cropped at the back and sides framing the head. The front which is parted on one side is also cut unevenly dropping in shags to the side.

Best for wavy/curly hair

A bob hairstyle also looks great in women with wavy hair. The hair is cut short in uneven lengths just below the ears, allowing the hair to wave naturally. There is no definite partition on the front and the curls and waves are allowed to fall in disheveled charm. For best results, use mousse to create this elegantly casual look.
