Afro Hair
Designed as an extremely thick hairstyle it features very tightly curled hair. Typically, this will be designed into a rounded shape; however, it is possible to have a square shape instead. This style originates from Africa and is most often linked to African American people, or someone of their descent. It is possible to have the afro extremely short, or you can have an extremely long afro style.
Asymmetric Cut
This style could be either extremely long, or it can be extremely short. Typically speaking the haircuts are short to medium in length. The style of the cut is generally shorter on one side, and a bit longer on the other side to create an asymmetric hairstyle. There are several celebrities who have adopted an asymmetric cut including Rosie O’Donnell and even Cyndi Lauper.
Bouffant Hair
Coming from the 17th century of Western Europe the bouffant is a style that is typically characterized by the hair piled on top of the head. From the top of the head the hair comes down the sides of the head. Much less popular in recent years many older adults still enjoy a well designed bouffant haircut.
Dyed Hair
Dying the hair has often been extremely popular for older adults in order to ensure that there is no traces of gray hair. While this has typically been associated with older adults, many younger adults also look towards dyed hairstyles to change up their appearance. Some of the most dramatic changes involve changing from dark brown or black hair to blond, or even blond to dark brown or black. With a wide range of colors available, it is possible to significantly change appearance by just a simple dye job.
French Braid
This hairstyle begins with several sections of hair at the very crown of the head and as the braid extends down the head, additional hair is added in small sections. The braid continues down the head even past the hairline to convert into a standard braid that continues for the rest of the hair. A frequent alternative to the traditional French braid is the Dutch braid, which is quite similar, but rather than crossing hair over the other hair sections, it crosses the hair under the hair.
Fringe
The UK version of bangs, this is a style that can be combined with many other hairstyles to create a beautiful framing effect for the face. Women as well as men are both able to find a large number of hairstyles that include fringe that can be either unique or conservative.
Natural Afro
This is the hair that is typically found on people of African descent, which has not been altered in any way by chemicals. This means hair that is not treated with a perm, straightener, relaxer or any coloring techniques. The hair is typically extremely difficult to style, but extremely soft to the feel.
Permed Hair
Officially called a permanent wave, a perm is designed to provide curls and waves to hair. The exact definition of the curl depends heavily upon the exact perm treatment used on the hair. Curls can range from extremely light, to quite tight. After the hair has been permed a while it will start to grow out, and can require touch ups occasionally to smooth the appearance. A perm can be successfully combined with a large number of hairstyles to create a unique appearance.
Pigtails
This is a hairstyle that typically starts with a single braid and extends out the back of the head. The style does have some variations that can include having multiple pigtails all extending from the head. The reasoning behind the name is the braids of a pigtail often resemble the tail of a pig when they are completed.
Razor Cut Hair
This haircutting style involves the use of an extremely sharp razor that is shaped like a knife to actually cut the hair. It is frequently used to create extreme texture in the hair, and piecy appearances. Typically, razor cut is reserved for extremely short hairstyles; however, it can be combined with longer styles to still provide a stunning result. The razor used is different from a standard razor so that it does not damage hair and provides the sharp, crisp results desired.
Sisterlocks
This is a carefully planned technique for controlling hair that is designed to allow you to quickly and easily change the style of hair, without treating the hair with any harsh chemicals. Designed for women of African descent this is intended to be the perfect solution for having all of the stylish hairstyles without the need to continuously treat the hair with chemicals.
