Hairstyles - African American Hair Braiding Styles

African Americans generally have thick black or brown curly hair. Although there are many styles that can be tried wit this hair type, braids are one of the most common and popular of all styles for Afro-American hair. ... To texturize your hair, apply a small amount of mousse (or styling balm or gel) evenly through partially dried hair to create volume and texture. Working from the underneath of the hair use your fingers to lift, tease and tousle the hair as you blow dry. Select small sections of hair, use your fingers to scrunch and apply heat. Direct the airflow of the dryer from the ends of your hair towards the roots to maximize fullness. If you prefer, you can use a dryer with a finger diffuser to give even more tousle. You can also use a small curling iron to touch up the ends if you wish. Then work molding or styling paste through with your fingers to create texture. Avoid using combs or brushes on the finished style to maintain absolute tousle.
