With the natural hair movement in full effect, many black women are
chopping off their hair and getting back in touch with their Afro-textured roots. For a lot of us however, the thought of having boy
short hair can be intimidating. Here are simple tips to help you rock
your TWA (teeny weeny afro) with confidence and class.
Say yes to accessories
Just because your hair is short doesn't mean that you can't still
accessorize like a pro. Wearing headbands, hair combs, or even flowers
in your hair adds a feminine touch that will help keep your short cut
from appearing too masculine.
Add a pop of color
When your hair is short, playing around with a bold color is a great way
to spice up your look. Just be careful not to overdo it, and if you do
color make sure to condition your hair regularly as hair dye can cause
damage and lead to breakage.
Play up your best feature
When your hair is short it draws more attention to your face. Get
creative with your makeup. Accentuate your best facial feature with
bold, flattering colors. You're beautiful, and now without all of the
extra hair hiding your face you can really show it off.
Long earrings and low cut necklines
Short hair often causes the neck to appear longer, which can be really
sexy if you know how to play it up. Long dangling earrings and low cut
necklines are extremely flattering and a great way to further elongate
your neck. Another great option if you cut your hair during the warm
weather months is to take advantage of tube tops and other shirts that
leave your shoulders bare.
Switch up your look with head wraps or braid when bored
The downfall to having short hair is that your styling options are
limited. If you get bored, or just feel the need to try something new,
experiment with an Erykah Badu style head wrap. There are tons of styles
that you can accomplish with a wrap which gives you versatility, and
with different colored fabrics you can have a wrap to match every
outfit.
Play around with your new cut. It's frequently said that less is more, hair doesn't have to be an exception!
