Short, long, in braids, or with a weave, your hair has its own unique style, the best black hair styles are designed to take advantage of black hair’s unique characteristics. Black hair is more fragile than most, requiring tender, loving care. With less oil production, black hair also tends to become dry and easily knotted.


There are many types of braided black hair styles available. Cornrows are small, tight plaits, close to the scalp. Twists are similar: groups of hair strands are twisted into soft plaits that drape.

Hot curlers, hot combs, and color can all damage your hair and using more than one of these can make the problems exponentially worse. Since straightening your hair removes elasticity from the hair shafts, the straighter your hair is, the more fragile it will become.
