There are so many techniques for black hairstyles today; it’s sometimes difficult to keep up with the sheer number of looks and hairstyle ideas available.
The traditional look – involving relaxing and perming to achieve a soft and smooth texture – is still popular with many black women despite the threat of damage caused by chemicals and over processing.
When undergoing perms and coloring, however, the experts advise that the perm come first – before applying the color – ideally several days later to give your hair time to recover between treatments.

Then there are the increasingly popular twists, braids, weaves, cornrows and dreads (just to name a few!).
Choosing cultural styles and natural black hair textures also have the added benefit of being much easier to maintain. No matter how you choose to style it, black hair is naturally prone to breakage due to it’s lessened inability to maintain moisture.
What’s the solution? Opt for a style that minimizes stress on the hair, and maintain the lowest levels of heat when blow-drying. And the less combing, picking & brushing the better!
Not only are these styles easier to live with they also help you maintain the vibrant, health of your hair which is naturally the basis for all beautiful shapes and styles.
