In the past, people used to believe only long hair made women look feminine and attractive. Thanks God, now everything has changed and girls are even proud to wear chopped locks. This is much more interesting and thought-provoking than an ordinary medium to long hairstyle. However, with fine strands of hair it is essential to apply proper care and use adequate styling products.
A healthy haircut is very important. The recommended structure of thin hair for black women is a layered ‘do with a lifted top. Avoid thinning the tips because the already-lacking volume disappears completely.
Many celebrities have fine hair but they don’t think it is a problem. They make a start from what has been given to them naturally and improve it with styling, dying and drying their hair carefully.
We’ve gathered the 70 most outstanding hairstyles for black women with thin hair right below
#1 Fast and puffy
Nearly everything beautiful is so hassle-free. This so-called ‘hedgehog’ style is easy to reproduce with layered cutting (the upper part gets more length and volume) and styling the bangs across the forehead with flimsy combing. A ruffled-up top will never betray this girl’s trouble — her thin hair.
#2 Rebel style
Rihanna is well-known for her rebellious yet attractive appearance. The A ‘do like this is a cool solution for girls who can’t decide between a very short and just short length. One sleek short-cut side is a neighbor of a sassy quiff curled at the edges.
#3 Bangs rule the game
Caramel and black strands, the main part of the hair combed to the front and neat shaving from the back side — is that enough to look glamorously? This black female says ‘Yes!’ This slightly distorted but still cute hairdo draws attention to nice facial features (very cute eyes, a perfect face shape, and glossy skin). Nobody will even notice the thinness on your head!
#4 Natural coils
The easiest way of styling your hair yet staying looking smart is to leave its natural curly structure. Sprinkle your tresses with a light fixation product or create a ‘wet hair’ effect. Ringlets are a charming feature of black ladies, so it is always a great idea to put an accent on them.
#5 Textured pixie
As a matter of fact, short hair for African Americans is even more convenient than long hair. Slight ironing and ruffling make a cute and magnetizing pixie look that catches the eye. One important thing is to layer the strands correctly; the top should imitate the area of super volume and the sides are to frame the face to put forward each girl’s best features.
#6 Cornrows and ringlets
This pic is not, in fact, about short hair but, rather, about hairdressing strands to achieve an illusion of wearing it short-cut with the help of ringlets and side combing. How you do it: Plait cornrows at the sides to make them look sleek and create an added puff by leaving genuine ringlets at the tips. Also, use specific haircare solutions to support easy brushing and styling.
#7 Glossy pixie
Such a pixie cut is comfortable, sexy and rather feminine. Even fine hair looks neat and healthy with just a few simple actions — drying with a volumizing effect and arranging side bangs that subtly cover one cheek. One thing you need to keep in mind is that you must trim your strands quite often to maintain the same shape.
#8 Black cutie
It’s not necessary to wear makeup to accentuate beautiful eyes and plump lips. Instead, try a hairdo similar to the one above. One of your sides is almost shaved while the other one features long bangs varying in color and straightened just enough to bring out the oval of your face. It’s charming and so easy to do!
#9 Bold and frank
Short and fine hair is a challenge but not a curse. With hairdressing corresponding with your character and mood, you can express your individuality and show your real ego. Lift the top, play with the tips, use haircare products to add volume and keep smiling. You don’t look sweet now — and it’s intentional, isn’t it?
