• Consider a short and stylish hairstyle.sexy black woman image by MAXFX from Fotolia.com
  
  Young women often prefer hairstyles that are trendy and stylish, just as with clothing. Black women have hair that presents particular challenges, because African-American hair tends to be thicker and more coarse than other types of hair. Because of that, the ends get much more dry and brittle as the oils from the scalp don't always make it to the ends of the hair. That's why a short hairstyle is ideal because it's easier to maintain and the hair is usually much more healthy.
  
  

Asymmetrical Bob

• An asymmetrical bob is a variation of the traditional bob hairstyle. In an asymmetrical bob, one side of the hair, or even just the bangs, is a different length than the other. It is best worn by young black women with slightly wavy or relaxed, straight hair because it's a geometric cut and the straight hair shows that off. If the hair is just wavy, a straightening iron will make it nice and straight.
  
  

Curly

• A wild and exotic look for young black women is short hair that is kinky and natural. This is for women who have hair that is in its natural state and not relaxed. The hair on the sides and back should be about 4 or 5 inches long. On top, the hair should be left longer, layered and pulled off the face. This curly style is easy to manage.
  
  

Pixie

• A pixie hairstyle shows off a youthful face and neck. It's also easy to wash and style. For a young, black girl who likes to change hair colors often, a short pixie cut is ideal as the damaged hair is cut off so frequently. There are a few versions of the pixie cut. One version has the hair cut short all over: back, sides and front. Another version has the sides and back cut very short, but the top and front are left longer.
