Hairstyles for Black Men
If you’re like most black men, facing the prominent dilemma of how to style your hair. You may have tried all the hairstyle options available to you, but your coarse mane never seems to cooperate with the style you have in mind. Regardless of your preference for short or long hair, you can find a way to wear your tresses with complete style and utter sophistication. So, choose from amongst these urban hairstyles modeled by some of today’s most stylish leading men, and you’ll be turning that mop into a magnificent coif in no time.
The close shave
Want to make your problem hair disappear without going bald? Then ask your barber for the close shave; it’s the black man’s buzz cut. Jamie Foxx sports this style best; it helps him look refined in his red-carpet getups and laidback in his every day street wear. So, the close shave is the perfect all-around haircut for a man with a hectic schedule and a varied lifestyle because it’ll complement any look you try to pull off.
What it says about you: You’re a suave, refined man, who centers his professional life around order and structure, and his personal life around being the life of the party.
The total shave
Many men fear the idea of going completely bald up top; the idea of prematurely losing your hair before its natural time might seem like scary territory, but the many black men who opt to go for the total shave route show that being bald is nothing to fear. Take Tyrese Gibson, for example; this singer/actor/model shows off his shiny noggin with a sense of refined class and true style. And since you don’t have any hair to fuss over, you can spend more time perfecting that dapper getup.
What is says about you: You’re sophisticated and loaded with confidence and sleek sex appeal.
Well-coiffed ‘fro
Why not work with the hairstyle Mother Nature gave you? For the urban man of style, the well coiffed Afro is definitely a contemporary spin on a vintage style. Lenny Kravitz sports this hairstyle best, mixing his chic rock-star style with an uptown 'do. But you don’t have to be a guitar god to rock this mini ‘fro; any man from the student to the professional can make this vintage style work, so long as his wardrobe is as trendy as his hair.
What it says about you: You’re a stylish, uptown man who’s not afraid to take risks with his look or with his professional and personal life.
Short dreads
Long, unkempt dreadlocks haven’t really been in style for quite some time. But if you are a dreadlock fan, there is a sharper, trendier way to do this 'do. Singer and guitarist Kele Okereke from the Brit group Bloc Party knows exactly how short dreads should be donned. Like every other style tip this season, take some inspiration from the Brits and try out the organized chaos of the short dreads. For the young, urban man, this style will definitely complement any laidback look he bears.
What it says about you: A trendsetter in your own right, you’re an urban hipster who knows a thing or two about maintaining taste, style and polish in line with contemporary fashion.

short or shaved The suave solution ?No Way !!
by David Agomo from Irish African. UK Home of Guiness, January 4, 2008
What a cop out!! Black & mixed race women have proved what can be done with their hair. Men can follow suite & it needn't take hours in the haidresser's. Let's move on from this black machissmo nonsense. On a male or female head, hair is hair in varying degrees of quantity & quality. The ethnic or natural look is fine: however a couple of hairstyles for a life time is dated & a drag. If your over 30 & have a full head of hair , why regard it as a problem & remove it? Let your hair as well as what,s under it be "black & proud." We black men should have as many style options as our friends the white folks.
