The best way to feel brand new? A striking haircut, of course—indeed, they don’t say ‘*new hair, new you*’ for no reason. And what better way to make a statement than to **go short**; it won’t go unnoticed, and you’ll have an entirely new look to play with. Of course, black women’s hair demands a slightly different approach to caucasian hair: that **glorious thickness and texture** can be both a blessing and a curse. But, if you pick the right short, relaxed hairstyle, your hair will be your loyal ally.

**Okay,** so what are the best short black hairstyles?

From sleek bobs to spiky styles to faded cuts, the world is your oyster. Plus it goes without saying, short hair absolutely oozes attitude. And, gone are the days when short hair was considered less than feminine (have you *seen* Amber Rose?)—*au contraire, *nothing says you own your femininity than a short hairstyle. Plus, it gives everyone a clear-as-day view of your glittering earrings, so there’s that.

While ultra-short black ladies’ haircuts demand a little more maintenance, as long as you’ve got time to pop in for a trim every few weeks, you’re golden. On the other hand, short cuts on the longer side (yes that’s a thing), can be left to fend for themselves a little longer. **Natural afro hair** fares beautifully on the shorter side, while if you’ve chemically straightened your locks, you can easily rock an elegant bob *a la* 90s Kelly Rowland (still *so* in, FYI).

So, we’ve compiled the ultimate guide to the best short haircuts for black females, so you can maximize that resplendent texture and volume, and make it work for you.
