Fresh Short Bob Hairstyles for Black Women
We’ve grown accustomed to longer curly hairstyles, as length is known for controlling frizz. But is a shorter hairstyle a no-go for African American women? Not at all! “A bob is an excellent choice for curly and Afro hair, as it allows you to experiment with shapes and customize it to fit your curls,” says Larry King, salon owner and hairstylist to celebrities like Gigi Hadid, in a *Glamour* column. We’ve seen plenty of stunning short bob styles for natural hair, including corkscrew, fluffy, round, and square shapes. The bob also works beautifully for relaxed hair, weaves, and braids.
