African Hairstyles for Men Part 1

People of African descent tend to have coarse, very curly hair that's flattered by specific hairstyles. This has been especially difficult for men. For the longest time, men of African descent were limited either to plain cropped hair or flamboyant styles associated with rap, reggae or ethnic African tribesmen.



But at the turn of the 21st century, much has changed. Forget the hair-raising afro-halo, long Jheri curls, cornrows or the "hi-top fade." According to AskMen Online Magazine, today's African hairstyles ideas for men are modern, sophisticated, and can suit a wider range of personalities.




Classic Cut

  •  Hair is cut to a length and volume that adds to or flatters the overall shape of the skull, yet is short enough to remain unaffected by wind or movement. This hairstyle suits conservative, traditional personalities.

Sculptured Shave

  • This is the black man's military buzz cut, except it's got a highly-sculptured hairline. You get the same freedom associated with going bald, while still having hair that can go anywhere from red carpet to street. This will suit men who want to look like a fashionable rake, without the fuss.
    You'll need a skilled barber to get this suave hairstyle. The key is in getting an even close shave throughout your head, and in shaving a sharp, well-defined hairline to frame your face shape properly.
