There are plenty of options for styling almost-shoulder-length hair.
Due to the fact that African-American hair is typically coarser and thicker than most other hair types, people believe it is difficult to style. However, this type of hair is actually quite versatile. With the help of styling tools, you can wear it curly, straight or somewhere in between. For African-American women with hair that reaches just above their shoulders, there are several hairstyles that will flatter the length and texture.
Instructions
1. Wear a bob style. The basic bob requires the hair to be cut uniformly with the ends between the chin and the shoulders. If your hair is very thick, cut a heavy bang to go with the look, if desired. If your hair is thin, a "swoop" bang is more appropriate. Fashion an angle-bob with the hair shorter in the bang and becoming longer in the front. Cut one side slightly shorter than the other. Maintain your bob by blow-drying it and using a flat iron.
2. Wear your hair slightly flipped, similar to the hairstyle of the 1950s. Smooth the hair from the roots, using a flat iron. Flip the ends slightly to obtain a windswept look, using a small curling iron. This look works well on hair that is layered.
3. Put soft curls in your hair and add volume, using hot rollers. Heat your medium-sized hot rollers and roll 2-inch sections of hair around each roller. Secure the rollers with the pins that come with them. Remove the rollers once they have cooled. Spray the curls lightly with a holding spray. Alternatively, pin up the curls so they pile on top of the head with soft tendrils hanging down around the face.
4. Wear your hair naturally curly. Wash, condition and moisturize your hair, then let it air-dry. Avoid touching it too much as naturally coarse hair can easily become frizzy. Add a holding gel after moisturizing your hair, if desired. Elongate the curls a bit by grabbing small sections of your hair and pulling so the curls are stretched. Blow-dry the root area using a concentrator attachment and straighten it slightly to cause the hair to look longer.
