Shaggy cuts are perfect for thick, coarse hair and one of this year’s most popular cuts. Shags are a totally cool and fresh way to wear short bob hairstyles. For black women who want something totally up-to-the-minute, add a smooth, sleek fringe to create a fabulous contrast with the shagginess in the rest of your cut.

Curly bob hairstyles
For black women with coily curls, take advantage of your natural advantage and copy the fabulous new twists and mini-ringlet looks that are so cute and crisp. We’re in the 21st century now and it’s time to embrace the wonderful range of styles that highlight our wonderful hair textures!

Choppy layers
Short bob hairstyles have moved away from the perfectly groomed look and now choppy layers are the way to look ‘hip’. I love these new styles as they work with my kinky, frizzy hair and, for once in my life, I can let the natural volume be free as ‘big hair’ is another big trend in contemporary styles.
