Hairstyles For Black Women



Thin hair can easily affect your self confidence. Although, this is the case, the good thing is that there are a number of hairstyles that you use to cover the annoying patches:
Bangs
These cover the bald patches very easily. Once you have placed the bangs you should sweep the remaining portion of the hair forward towards your jawline and cut it so that it conceals any bald patches that you might be having.
For ideal results you should ensure that your hair is chin length and styled in such a way that it naturally sweeps forward.

Layers
Layers aid in framing your face and you can easily curl them to easily conceal your bold patches. The layers not only create a sense of texture to your hair, but they also give your hair body and volume.
Although, the layers are great to have, you should avoid placing the layers on medium to long length hair unless your hair is curly. This is because the layers with straight hair reduce volume and require extra styling time. A good hairstyle to place layers one is the bob or pixie cut.
When adding the layers you should experiment with different parts. For example, you should try the side, messy, and zigzag parts. As rule of thumb you should settle on the part that not only covers the bald areas, but looks great on you.
Ponytail
If you have bald patches at the crown of the head, you should try using ponytails. All you need to do is to sweep your hair up and pull it back so that it rests directly on top of the bald patch. To make your hair look long, you should curl the ends of the ponytail.
If you have larger patches, you should twist the ponytail into a coil and wrap it around so that it creates a bun. If you want to create a chignon, you should fold the ponytail in half and tuck half of it underneath the actual ponytail and pin it in place.
If you are wondering what a chignon is, it's a full hairpiece that is worn as an up do and comes with a variety of forms such as braids, curls, and twists. If you have short hair and you want a longer look, you should try using weaves or extensions. To avoid pulling your hair at the roots, you should go for a weave that is lightweight.
