Today’s pixie haircut is a revolutionary way to showcase the modern African American woman’s beauty. The perfect pixie haircut for black women these days looks different than it did in years past. Around twenty years ago, a pixie cut was simply a short cut with symmetrical sides and back. Then, the hairstylist might put some layers up top. Now, the cut has evolved to include things such as overcuts and undercuts also. Pixie haircuts make a bold statement. They showcase your confidence and independence. As long as celebrities like Halle Berry and Rihanna continue to rock pixies on the red carpet and professional hairstylists continue to introduce new variations, pixie haircuts are here to stay.

Professional hairstylists in the black hair industry have incorporated shaved sections into their beautiful artwork for many years. From mohawks to shaved sides with intricate designs, black hairstylists have used shaved hair techniques to push their service to a higher level of fashion. Shaved hairstyles require an expert barber cut technique. It’s very easy to cut the hair at an incorrect angle and ruin the intended haircut. Professional hairstylists are incorporating shaved haircut techniques with more traditional shear over comb trends to create fascinating black hairstyles. Always utilize the services of a professional hairstylist to ensure you end up with the perfect shaved hairstyle.

One of the most popular haircuts for Black women today is the bob. Bob hairstyles have been around since the early 1900s. Famous Black celebrities like Josephine Baker and Esther Jones made bob hairstyles fashionable for Black women in the 1920s and 30s. Bobs are known for being easy to maintain also. There is an endless variety of hair color techniques and layer lengths that can be incorporated into any bob haircut. These options give professional hairstylists the ability to keep bob haircuts at the forefront of the fashion scene for many years to come. This particular bob features a custom hair color and graduated layers.

Long hairstyles are set apart with the addition of layers. Layers help to add definition and movement to your look. Well-placed layers will allow your hair to move and flow. Your hair will sway whenever you move, and then fall right back into place whenever you stop. Layers help to accentuate hair color also. Instead of just having your hall fall in one place, layers are a great way to spice up your look. Multi-dimensional layers allow you to have a larger variety of choices when it comes to styling your hair also. Make sure you use a professional hairstylist if you’re planning on a layered hairstyle though. Once it’s cut off, it’s gone.

Precision haircuts on naturally tight curly hair are becoming more and more popular. Professional hairstylists continue to push the boundaries in the industry toward natural hair. They now include precise angles and layers on naturally tight curly hair also. In this image, we see a custom hair color technique over a mohawk hairstyle that includes a longer bang. The shear over comb cutting techniques gives the impression of a swept bang to one side also. Black hair fashions have always pushed the envelope when it comes to multi-dimensional, trendsetting haircuts. Today’s professional hairstylists can give you the same precision haircuts on your natural tight curly hair.
