Just because your hair is short doesn't mean you can't fit "healthy hairstyle" and "beautiful" into one sentence. Twists do not have to be boring. Twistouts do not have to look crazy. Play your styles up with a beautiful clip, scarf, or headband. Put a spin on a simple twistout with partial cornrows in the front or a pompadour. Wear protective and low manipulation styles ... but HAVE FUN and FEEL BEAUTIFUL while you're at it! Healthy hairstyling does not have to be bland. HEALTHY STYLES FOR SHORT NATURAL HAIR:
Twists (protective)
Braids (protective)
Finger coils (protective)
Bantu knots (protective)
Twistouts (low manipulation)
Braidouts (low manipulation)
Coilouts (low manipulation)
Combinations of the above (protective/low manip)
Wigs over braids/twists/cornrows (protective)
Strawsets (low manipulation)
Sew-ins (protective - when properly done and cared for)
Kinky twist / braid extensions (protective - when properly done and cared for)
Etc.
Here are some PHOTOS of protective & low manipulation styles. I did these when my hair was shorter. (Hair length was approximately 4 to 6 inches.)
