I often hear women complain that they don’t know what natural hair styles to do with their short hair. Short hair can be fun. I actually did more styles when my natural hair was shorter than I do now because it was less time consuming. Here are some general tips for shorter hair
– Do not focus on protective styling if your hair is not yet shoulder length, just keep your hair well moisturized
– Deep condition and keep your short hair well moisturized, I encourage you to use oil on top of your moisturizer
– Do not give in to the temptation to use heat frequently to do styles on your short hair, use rollers, twists, and braids to stretch your hair
– Have fun with your short hair by adding accessories like headbands and flowers
– Finger comb and stay away from picks, use a seamless comb or shampoo comb if you do comb your hair
