Box braids always make a statement.

And that includes bob-length ones.
Were in love with the bright blonde box braids Amandla Stenberg wore at the 2020 Oscars.
Asymmetrical Pixie
Short hair looks its most fabulous when it has a distinct cut.

Just take Gabrielle Unions gorgeous asymmetrical pixie hair cut from the 2019 Vanity Fair Oscar Party as an example.
It was equal parts edgy and glam.
We adore the style Janelle Monae wore and those loose tendrils that framed her face.

And of course, we cant forget to mention the eye-catching gold wire she threaded into her bun!
Braided Fauxhawk
Issa Rae loves experimenting with her natural hair and you should too.

High Pony
Having short natural hair doesnt mean you cant go back to basics.

Just take a look at Logan Browning with her ultra-high ponytail.
If your hair is short enough, itll resemble a topknot with its perfect puff.
Dont worry, you’re able to try a tapered cut like Samira Wiley.

Its a great way to get the best of both worlds!
Everyone looks great with a tapered afro and its easier to maintain And style.
This goes for all wavy, kinky, curly hair textures, Rabiu says.

Pineapples are a part of the natural hair bible.
Just ask Kerry Washington and her defined curly pineapple from the 2018 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

Rabius expert tip for this look?
Its simple, Water is your best friend for styling.

Jurnee Smollet-Bell certainly did during the Birds of Prey premiere.
We love the height she added to her hair when she swept it back into a faux pompadour.
The stray pieces she left out were another nice touch.

Her balayage ends brought out the overall dimension and shape.
Those sleek waves she paired with it were simply stunning!
Statement Side Pony
The side ponytail is not reserved for high schoolers.

Retro Hair Flip

Even better, she threw in a few layers for added dimension!

One word: flawless!
The results will be fantastic.

Were fond of the very symmetrical cornrows Winnie Harlow wore to the 2019 GQ Men Of The Year Awards.
Six braids were all she needed to polish off her look.
Even better, she doesnt have to be flashy to look stunning.
