African American hair can be difficult to care for. Because of the texture, it can take hours to style and cannot be washed on a daily basis. Therefore, transforming your stubborn long hair into a short eccentric haircut might be a great option for you! Since short hair is significantly lower maintenance, an increasing number of African American women are choosing to get short edgy haircuts which often are modeled after famous women such as Rihanna.. There are products which will help keep hair moisturized, but the best options are to let your hair air dry as much as possible, and to avoid heating products all together. Additionally, because wet hair is weaker than dry hair, it is wise to use a wide tooth comb after showering, rather than a thin toothed comb or general hairbrush.
