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.

This hairstyle literally forms a visible pattern of
close-cropped, tight, uniform waves and ridges of hair around the head.
This is achieved through the aid of special pomades, brushing and
sleeping in a special wave cap or "durag." Dramatic without being over
the top, this hairdo is best for men a casual, more flamboyant
personality.

This is literally the much shorter, toned-down version of
the '70s disco afro. It may look casual, but it requires careful cutting
and styling for hair to achieve the same rebellious stand, without
making a mess. Rock singer Lenny Kravitz sports this hairstyle. To make
this look work, it's best to pair it with a trendy wardrobe--perfect for
a stylish, risk-taking man.

If you like the bravado of Jamaican dreadlocks, but hate
long unkempt hair, you can try "short dreads" instead. Just like the Bob
Marley hairdo of old, hair is sectioned off into locks, and allowed to
grow. But instead of a long mane, hair is grown to only a few inches
off the scalp, creating a subtle shock of locks. You can take your
inspiration from Uti who wears this hairdo with style. This look is best
for laid-back, urban hipsters.
