Black Hair Styles! What do we really mean when we say Black Hair Styles? Celebrity Tracie Thoms, shows you how a natural black hair style would look. Unless we’re talking about natural hair and how to style it, anything else is patterned after hair styles worn by Caucasians.

When you put a relaxer in your hair, what are you telling yourself? I know some of you do it in order to save your job or get a job. Some of you feel that you look prettier when your hair is straighter. Some of you hate your beautiful black hair so much until you dye your tresses “Blonde”. After all you’ve been told that “Blondes” have more fun.

You’re so busy trying to be accepted by others that you loose site of who you are and your unique beauty. How much trouble have you had with your scalp and health since you put that relaxer in your hair?

Your skin is the largest organ of your body and whatever you put on your skin, penetrates into its deeper levels, thereby going into your blood stream, your bones, your muscle and your organs. Did you know that studies were done on African Americans with perms after they died and found a film on the brain that morticians say are a direct result of putting these chemicals in your hair?

Well what does all of this have to do with Black Hair Styles? You relax your hair in order to change its molecular structure. You want more versatility, so you feel that by putting a perm relaxer in it, you’ll get that “change” you’ve been looking for. But what happens when, your hair begins to shed or thin? Are you really getting that style you wanted?

Ok I’ve beaten up on the perm/relaxed hair long enough. Not quite, but I’ll let it go for now. But What about style? In all fairness, African American Hair comes in all kinds of textures - kinky, curly, wavy and yes naturally straight. So how do you begin your style show with your hair.

What Determines The Hair Style You Choose For Yourself?

Your face and its shape, your hair and its texture, the shape of your head and the spacing of your eyes will have a lot to do with the black hair styles that you choose to wear. Two strand twist, locs, and braids can all be styled as mohawks, french rolls, pony tails and more. You can also wear blunt cuts and bobs.

Just because your hair is in its natural state doesn’t mean that you have to forego any styles that you might want to wear your hair in.

Hair Accessories for Your Black Hair Styles
