Urban hairstyles

Hair type is an extremely important factor to consider when creating a hairstyle. If only things were as simple as walking into a salon and saying ‘give me short bob’. Perhaps in your dreams. The reality is all hair types are different and can’t accommodate all hairstyles. Black hair for example, generally requires special care due to its natural fragility and texture. But there are many gorgeous urban hairstyles that don’t require as much maintenance as one may think. Whether hair is short, medium or long, it can only benefit entirely from a style that best suits ones features. The same can be said for any head of hair.

The best way to prevent damage to hair in general is to select a style that is low maintenance and cut closer to the head. Longer black textured hair and urban hairstyles are susceptible to long-term weakening and have a natural tendency to dry out due to the curved follicle. The afro is a perfect example of a hairstyle that doesn’t go against the natural growth of black hair. It’s easy to maintain because it merely requires a pick and some moisturizer. Braids are another popular style that are versatile but shouldn’t be worn for a long period of time as tightly done, they pull on the roots of the hair and can create hair loss if done too frequently. No matter what the hair quality, ponytails are always in style and as timeless as any hairstyle can get. They suit any type of hair texture and show off any beautiful face. The only difference is where on the head the ponytail is worn; low on the head, pulled up high or sitting dead center in line with the ears. Urban hairstyles aren’t limited because of their hair texture but they are definitely more prone to damage so be cautious when considering any type of hairstyle that will require hair treatments, possible hair breakage, or hair pulling.
