Short Hairstyles 2012

Fed up with the same look year after year, well why not try some of these hot, short hairstyles for black women to spice things up for 2012? Getting a new look is one of the easiest ways to leave last year's woes in the past and embrace something new. There are many ways to give yourself either a sexy or a sporty look with just a few simple tricks.

Natural: The natural look is very "hot" this year. Keeping your cut short, but leaving it natural will give you a soft and carefree air about you like Solange Knowles. There are also endless arrangements and accessories that you can try to accent your cut. Plus there is a lot to say for not having to mess with a weave everyday and the costs that it brings.

Bobs: The bob is another one of those short styles that works very well with African American and Black hair (via Rihanna or Viola Davis) that never go out of fashion. There are also many ways to switch up this look by adding curls, angles or layers to make you really stand out in a crowd. An up-do option works well that gives a "bob like" effect similar to Angela Simmons and La La Anthony. This year you are going to see bobs everywhere, so make sure you do not miss out on the trend!

The Tomboy: The tomboy is very popular right now and is an easy to manage short hairstyle for black women that will make your morning much easier and more productive. There are so many varieties with this style that you will have something new to try every day of the week.
