Looking for the latest best African American hair styles for black women.
The ombré highlight is here to stay and one of the most popular colour combos for winter is the warm reds, purples or blues – but what colours will we be wearing in the spring?
Spring 2018 ombré shades
It looks as if our love-affair with warm copper shades is set to end early next year and a new wave of ash-blonde and ash-brown shades will come in to cool out the best hairstyles for black women!
I’ve seen some of the preview pictures of next year’s best hairstyles for black women sporting the new ash shades, and although I didn’t think I’d like it, I have to say they do look pretty great!
Best hairstyles for black women – shoulder length trends
So – one of the major new styles for 2018 is the shoulder-length cut on thick, straight hair that’s got plenty of natural volume and a hint of defined waves in the lower lengths. If you’re lucky enough to have an oval face, the centre-parting is the key look for next year – if not just wear an off-centre parting.
Fringes are changing to the full forward straight-across fringe, or the extra-long ‘growing it out’ fringe styled to make ‘wings’ on either side of the face. And to get the final top-of-the-range finish, add a fresh, medium ash-brown ombré to add a ton of classic elegance to glossy jet-black hair!
Go platinum
For all you gorgeous gals who love all-over blonde or balayage blonde, get ready to rock the cool look of high-fashion platinum-blonde, which is all set to be the queen of the cool colour shift in all the best hairstyles for black women in 2017!
There’s a new salon product in the states, which totally stops the hair-splitting damage that bleaching dark hair to light colours always causes. It’s called Olaplex and comes with a ‘first-hand use’ recommendation from Tracey Cunningham – the ‘hair painter’ in charge of Gwyneth Paltrow and Jen Lopez’s blonde colours.
Hair colour game-changer
So Olaplex may well create a higher demand for lighter highlights in lots of the best hairstyles for black women and be a real hair-colour ‘game-changer’ for us! Look out for an abnormal amount of Barbie-blondes and platinum pixies in your ‘hood!
Best hairstyles for black women – edgy, short cuts
My personal favourite avant-garde natural looks right now are the angled bobs created on pre-dreadlocked hair.
And my other favourite, is the super-sassy new chin-length symmetrical bob with equal sides, a full straight across fringe and a fantastic jagged outline! Dyed a gentle but deep pinky-red, it’s a totallymodern look that will set your style on fire over the winter holiday season!
And that’s only a few of the fashion forward best hairstyles for black women we have ready for you in our gallery that will blow you away!
