HOT BIKINI GIRL: Short Curly Hairstyles for Black Women

The one thing I do not do is brush my hair! The typical response given to such a statement is, "How are you able to manage it?" I merely just run my fingers through my hair (when wet in the shower and during the application of my hair serum) eliminating any large knots or even dreadlocks that may have formed. Note: Dreadlocks will form if curly hair is always up or put in to a bun frequently. By not brushing or combing my hair, the curls remain intact and do not have to worry about the curls looking much shorter than they are. Also, not brushing eliminates any curl nests that would normally form towards the back of my head. I have relatively long, brown, bronzed curly hair. Similar to others with the same hair type, my hair looks shorter than what it is. It took years to determine the right cut and style for the type of hair I have. If certain areas were cut too short it would curl up higher than another section. The biggest issue was to make sure the hairdresser did not cut the front straight across, but to cut at an angle that would lie perfectly with the shape of my face. Note: If you find a hair dresser that cuts and styles your curls the way you love, continue using the same stylist. Do not waste your time exploring other salons to see what else is out there.

Often at times, I will decide to do something drastic to my curly hair look. It could be cutting it as short as possible without looking like an afro or getting it highlighted lighter or coloring it darker. As with any type of hair that has been colored or highlighted, the upkeep is the hardest! I spend at least 2 to 3 hours at the hair salon (majority of the time spent applying the color and tin foil) and over $250 towards my bill. These salon splurges usually occur every 6 to 7 months, so choosing a color tone that will look good 7 months later is the key. As the curly hair grows out, the color should continue to look natural and effortless.

If you are looking to thin down your thick or curly hair, Thinning scissors are the best options. It helps to tame thick and curly hair, thereby making it more manageable and presentable. This is not used to perform haircuts but only to remove volume from thick, unruly or curly hair. They are also used to help create texture or blend layers in straighter hairs, so that they look more natural. There is a certain way to use these scissors. If you have long, thick hair or wavy hair, you need to comb your hair and work in sections. The cut should be made between half the length of the hair. This should be repeated all though out. Repeated cuts should be made only if additional thinning is required. If the hair is curly, additional cuts may be passed at the mid length of the hair. The focus here should be at the places that are thicker. Scissors with fewer teeth is ideal for curly hair.

These scissors can be got at all beauty supply stores and come in different prices depending on the brand and quality. Some of these scissors are coated in titanium to increase the sharpness and life of the product. These scissors are also chosen depending on the amount of hair that needs to be removed. For instance the scissors with many teeth will remove the least amount of hair while the one with least teeth will remove the most amount of hair.
