There are so many techniques for black hairstyles today, it's sometimes difficult to keep up with the sheer number of looks available.

The traditional look - involving relaxing & perming to achieve a soft and smooth texture - is still popular with many black women despite the threat of damage caused by chemicals and overprocessing. When undergoing perms and coloring, the experts advise that the perm come first before applying the color, ideally several days later.

Then there are the increasingly popular twists, braids, weaves, cornrows and dreads (just to name a few!) that celebrate cultural styles and natural black hair textures which have the added benefit of being much easier to maintain.

No matter how you choose to style it, black hair is naturally prone to breakage due to it's lessened inability to maintain moisture. So the experts also advise choosing a style that minimizes stress on the hair, and maintaining the lowest levels of heat when blow drying - and the less combing, picking & brushing the better.
