❤ Style short afro hair - Twist-out or braid-out
If you have the time and a little patience to practice, these are great short afro hairstyle to try. They’re also considered a protective style but a bit funkier. You’ll also get great patterns once you unwind them!

Getting the perfect twist/braid-out requires (you guessed it) a good hair care routine and common problems include lack of curl or definition. If your hair is dry or weak you won’t get the look you’re looking for and you’ll damage your hair through twisting it.

With when styling, follow your hair care routine as normal, wash your hair, blot it (don’t dry it out as twists will work better with slightly damp hair) and then detangle your hair. Once that’s done, moisturise and section your hair before twisting.

If your hair is too damp - whether because of product or water - your twists won’t stick, so be sure to give your hair time to dry and wrap your hair up before bed.

❤ Style short afro hair - Side part

Want to try something different with your short afro hair but don’t have the time to go all-in with a slightly more complex (and time-consuming) style? Why not try a side part?

It only takes a couple of minutes; start by washing your hair, moisturising it and then applying an oil. From there, take a comb and place your part. Once you have a part, you’ll need to apply some strong holding gel (make sure you use one that’s all-natural and leaves no residue). After the gel is applied, use some clips along each part to keep it in place.

To set the gel, use a blowdryer to dry the roots and then slide the clips out and you should have a fixed side part!

❤ Afro - Finger coils

Of all the afro hairstyles on this list, this one probably takes the most time but you can get defined curls once it’s done. If you don’t want to twist or braid your hair, it’s a no-fuss option which only requires your fingers and your styling products.

Start by washing your hair as normal but leaving it wet. Apply a curl cream (again, we would advise using something natural) and separate your hair into sections. Then start twirling the hair of each section around your finger.

Once your coils are dry you can stretch them or separate them further to get a bit more definition and volume. It’ll take some time but it’s a fab look that will last a week!

So who said you can’t have cool afro hairstyles with short hair? If you just dedicate a little time to it in the morning (or evening), there’s no short afro hairstyle that you can’t do!

AFRO 1990s and 2000s
The afro saw some resurgence in both the 1990s and the 2000s. These afros would take varied forms, some incorporating elements such as braids, beads or twists, as well as various sizes, from close-cropped natural hairstyles all the way to expansive afro wigs.
Some African Americans who have been known for wearing afros or afro wigs during these two decades include NBA basketball players Ben Wallace, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Beasley, as well as musicians Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Macy Gray, Ludacris, Questlove, Cindy Blackman, Wiz Khalifa, and Lenny Kravitz. Beyoncé also donned a large afro wig for her role as Foxxy Cleopatra in the 2002 film Austin Powers in Goldmember.

AFRO
An afro is a bushy hairstyle produced by a natural growth of kinky hair, or specifically styled with chemical curling products by individuals with naturally curly or straight hair. The hairstyle can be created by combing the hair away from the scalp, dispersing a distinctive curl pattern, and forming the hair into a rounded shape, much like a cloud or puff ball.
For people with wavy or straight hair, the hair style is created with the help of permanent hair structure-changing creams or gels and/or other solidifying liquids to temporarily hold the hair in place. Particularly popular in the African-American community of the late 1960s and early 1970s, the hairstyle is often shaped and maintained with the assistance of a wide-toothed comb colloquially known as an Afro pick
