Terrific Long Hairstyles for Black Men

Terrific Long Hairstyles for Black Men

If nature and your parents’ genes have blessed you with beautiful healthy hair, there’s a sense in growing it out and styling smartly. At least you won’t look like every second guy in the street. Speaking of long hairstyles for African American men, the first thing that comes to mind is braids, but not only. Here you’ll find only the most eye-catching long hairstyles for black guys.

Shoulder-length natural curls are a classic Afro look. Most men wear them centre-parted, opening the forehead, or in a sort of swept to one side style if texture allows. Younger guys can try A-line styles with free coils falling on the forehead and cheeks. Another fun male style suggests trimming your curls in a rounded shape with the longest hair standing upright on the top.

Black Men with Long Hair

Dreadlocks are super flattering for African Americans and, definitely, look cooler on men than on women. These create a fantastic look when being scattered over your shoulders and top of the back. For a more formal style it’s enough to gather them into a low ponytail.

If a fancy braided look seems more appealing to you, try neat cornrows running vertically off the forehead. Most men dislike overly fancy styles, sticking to classy patterns, like this one. More versatile braided hairstyles can be viewed in the gallery braids for men.

Twists are fun and manlier than braids. A full head of thick curls is a treasure, but a man always needs to look neat and fresh. Twists keep luxurious coils off your forehead and face and offer a classy pattern that is alternative to braids. Even hair extensions look cool in long twisted men’s hairstyles.

Kinds of African-American Hair:

Short Hairstyles For Curly Hair

Short Hairstyles For Curly Hair

The volume that curly hair can give a short haircut has no rivals. You will need no styling product to boost the volume sky-high! But if you do not have naturally curly hair, you can always get it.

Today there are many curl boosting products available for every woman who wants to rock curls. Also, heat appliances will come in handy to achieve the most gorgeous curls ever. Just use them with precaution, that is, do not overheat your tresses. But if you wish to get curls heat-free, you can always use good old hair rollers. It might take more time to curl your tresses with them, but they are your safest option.

Short Hairstyles For Wavy Hair

Short Hairstyles For Wavy Hair

If you have naturally wavy hair or prefer waving it, you can still pull off a shorter cut. Waves will add body and movement to your pretty tresses. Just wash your tresses with a moisturizing shampoo and then condition them as usual. Towel-dry them a bit.

Next, apply curl enhancer – pick the brand you prefer, but it is advisable to use products that also offer heat protection. Thus, you will not only wave your tresses but keep them shiny and healthy, as well. Blow-dry your tresses, tousling them with your fingertips. Finish with hairspray, though this step is optional because the curl enhancer normally allows for extra hold.

Amazing Braided Pigtail Styles for Girls

Amazing Braided Pigtail Styles for Girls

Is there anything more fun than a little girl with pigtails? We think not! Be inspired by these amazing and beautiful hairstyles. Whether you are styling hair that is short, medium, long, straight or curly, you’ll be sure to find something to try out that will stand out.

Pigtail Styles for Girls

Most of the following girly hairstyles with pigtails involve braids with ribbons and lovely bow ties, cute twists or unusual partings. Some hairstyles look intricate, but there are also simpler ones, suitable for beginner level.

#1: Criss-Crossed Low Ponytails with Ribbons

This is a beautiful hairstyle for girls with long hair. Two inside out French Braids are criss-crossed in the back to create a very interesting design. Adding in a pretty ribbon really takes this braid to the next level. The overall effect of these French braid pigtails is really beautiful.

#2: Braids, Buns and Bows

Take your braiding skills to the next level by creating a basket weave effect. A traditional braid suggests three strands, but this one uses four or more strands to build an intricate and very unique braid. Hair is parted right down the middle with a basket braided down on either side. The braids are secured and then twisted up into cute little buns. The crowning pieces of this hairstyle are the adorable hair bows on top of each bun! There is a lot going on here, but it’s truly an inspiring look to try!

#3: Double Heart Braid

This double heart shaped braid actually appears harder to achieve than it really is. The inside braid was sectioned out and braided after the outside one was braided and out of the way. After both braids were created and secured into pigtails, a pretty ribbon was weaved into the braid for a more formal and intricate result. Finally the deep purple flowers were attached to each ponytail. This would be a great look for a flower girl.

Quick and easy hairstyles for school

Quick and easy hairstyles for school

The countdown to the new term is on. Whether you’ve got a child starting in reception or a preteen going onto senior school, having the right hairstyle is essential. Here, we offer some school hairstyle inspiration with a little help from kids’ groomer Hester van Overbeek

Loose pigtails or plaits

How to do girls’ hair for school in five minutes or less? Opt for the on-trend loose pigtails or plaits. This easy school hairstyle works particularly well for girls with wavy hair (or you can cheat with this styler). Start with a quick once through with a wide-tooth comb, split the hair into two parts of roughly the same size and then place a thin band about half way down to create a loose ponytail. Vary it by adding a loose plait in each side.

Dutch braids

This hairstyle continues to be a hit among schoolgirls of any age and happily, it’s not as hard as it looks. Divide the hair into two portions using a fine-tooth comb to get a neat parting down the middle. Divide the hair on each side into three sections near the forehead. With a Dutch braid, you fold each portion of hair under the next. Grab extra strands of hair every time you take a section of the plait towards the back of the head. Follow the shape of the head as close to the scalp as possible. Keep it as tight as you can and that way it should last two days

The super-quick boys haircut you can do at home in four easy steps

1. Spray the hair wet and section the top of the hair (over the crown of the head) with a clip.

2. Spray the hair again and take vertical sections of the hair between your fingers. Cut downwards with the scissors. Repeat all around the crown of the head.

3. Now take the top layer and slice in with the scissors at an angle – not in a straight line. Take the fringe between your fingers in sections and cut into it at an angle.

4. Blow-dry the hair before using clippers – never use them on wet hair. Use the clippers to tidy the back with no attachment on slow and controlled movements

Soft tussled locks

For boys with longer hair, give it a quick comb and then use texturing cream or a salt spray and gently twist it with your fingers. Ta-dah! This is perhaps one of the quickest and coolest hairstyles for school.

The top-knot

Do a high ponytail and tie with a hairband. Now fold the hair into a bun and use the other band to tie it in place. Make it wispy by gently tugging at it – that way it looks more natural. This is another practical school hairstyle that you’ll be doing in less than two minutes before you know it.
