Choosing the Best Style
Types Black Men’s Hair Styles
The best hair style is one that is suitable for the individual’s face
shape and hair care preferences. For example, a long, round afro may
not be the ideal choice for an individual with a round face, because it
will only accentuate that shape. At the same time, someone with a very
narrow face may seem disproportionate if they choose a large afro.
Furthermore, afros and cornrows require rigorous care to keep looking their best, while shaved styles, shaved heads, and buzz cuts need
frequent trims to be stylish.
Longer Natural Afro
Styles can be adapted to different men’s preferences, however.
A smaller afro could have tapered sides to better suit particular face
shapes, and a buzz cut could have a longer top to help elongate a face
and reduce the frequency of trims.
There are many varieties of men’s hair styles that work
well for African-American men, but the most popular styles
include:
·Buzz Cuts: A very short style typically shorn with ·
clippers, these are easy to manage looks that can be maintained in seconds. Because black hair is so curly, the buzz
cuts are typically far shorter than for other ethnic groups in
order to control the curl. The edges of the cut along the hair
line may be sharply defined or left with a natural definition.
·Shaved Styles: A shaved style is longer than a buzz
cut, and often features ridges, geometric patterns, or even
words as part of the distinctive style, usually along the back
of the head or neck. The sides of the hair style may be tapered to shorter lengths near the hair line or sideburns.
·Dreadlocks: This long style is favored by men with
Jamaican or Caribbean backgrounds, and consists of thick
twists or braids covering the head. The hair may be only as
long as the collar, or it may extend to the waistline.
·Cornrows: This ·braided style keeps hair close to the
scalp in medium-thick braids, unlike the ·micro braids preferred by women, which are longer and thinner. Cornrows
are actually a type of small ·French braid.
·Afros: An afro or “fro” is a · natural hair style where
the hair stands out in a halo or puff around the head rather
than being confined, ·straightened or trimmed. Some afros
are only an inch or two long, while others may be several
inches in length for very pronounced styles, such as were
popular in the 1970s.
·Shaved Head: Many black men opt for shaving their
heads completely to eliminate any hassle with confining curly
hair. Shaves must be redone every few days to keep a neat,
clean style.

About Black Hair
African-American hair is naturally very curly and the curls have
the strength to last through many different styles. While this may be
desirable for women’s styles, many men prefer short, discreet styles
and tight curls may be a problem. Some men, on the other hand, embrace the natural vitality of their hair and proudly sport ethnic black
styles that suit their personalities.
