Whether you have a pixie cut or teenie weenie afro (TWA), I want to share with you 6 beautiful short styles for growing your hair out. The good thing about short hair styles is that you can wear them anytime whether it is winter, spring, summer or fall. Also, I’ll share the products you can use to achieve these amazing styles.

This cut is one of our favorites because it’s still short but it allows you to grow out the top and the back of your hair. Plus, who doesn’t love a super chic mohawk. This style was done by Chicago, IL stylist @oluchizelda.

#5

While some would consider this a pixie cut, it’s actually a lot longer and is more of a mid-length cut. Moreover, this cut is great for someone who wants to maintain this length without needing a relaxer. In addition, this style was done by Baltimore stylist @britanyrese.

This style is sexy and chic and features longer hair in the front. However, since the hair is not shaved, but just tapered in the back it is a great option for growing out a pixie cut. This cut was styled by Atlanta Stylist @rozie_katore.

    Lovely Styles!

  • Rose says:

    I’m a 53 y/o African American. My hair is very thin. I tried a sew in for the first time 2 Months ago for the fullness and I didn’t go back to the stylist that installed the sew in. I let my stylist take it out and OMG So much of my hair came out, and my hair is now even more thinner than before! I’m so depressed I thought about cutting it off in a short style with hopes it will thicken back up. Then I thought about getting the sew in once again to keep from combing it with hopes that will help. Please advise I’m so depressed I’ve had long hair all my life but wanted to try something different due to the thinness!! My hair is also permed
