I agree with Elizabeth. I have searched the internet and have found way too many western styles for african americans. i’ve also found it particularly difficult to find short pretty hairstyles designated towards young people. A variety of styles like the jerry curls, waves, curls, cornrows,braids,locks, and other african-american styles would have made the gallery more acessible as well as different lengths.

Btw, where is Halle Berry?

So I’d like to summarize what’s been written and add my personal thoughts. We are looking for pictures of African American hairstyles for women that are not just weaves (which a lot of movie stars do with their hair) and reflect the diverse ways that we can style our hair (which are numerous so why is this so difficult to find!!). These include everything from afro and other natural styles, but also styles that can be done with straightened hair (chemical or heat) with the help of a stylist and even better, done at home.

Personally, I have curly natural hair that is on the finer side so I can’t do a lot of the kinkier styles. Plus I have sooo much of it and it frizzes quickly so the cute curly styles don’t work well either! I end up straigtening it a lot. So clearly i’m in need of some creative hairstyles that i can work out.

Well I am african, a truly one too but I have long and straight hair! So what’s the deal? C’mon people africa it’s 30 millions km², it’s a continent! All africans don’t look the same nor share the same futures! So because Iman Bowie has straight hair she’s no longuer african? Aren’t Mauritians africans?
Get serious!

I agree with Nicole!!! It is difficult to find new hairstyles and not the same old thing. Having something that looks more natural doesn’t mean sporting an afro. Not every black woman falls on the two extremes of down to her hips weave or an afro. If you are looking for a site on locs, kinky afros or other naturals, type that into your search field. Not that hard! For the rest of us, styles without weave that are innovative and attainable at home are definitely wanted.
