Are you looking for a simple hairstyle that’s suitable for the office for your African American hair? Aside from having a fashionable wardrobe, you can use your femininity in the way you wear her hair, and how you brandish the latest style. From regular updos to layered curls extending down your back is just a representation of a defining look at the office. It proves that as an African American woman, you can still flaunt beautiful hair while following the office guidelines.

Here are some hairstyles for the corporate office:

1. Short bob

Simple makes easy and that is depicted in a short bob which you can wear to the office. This hairstyle can come in various styles fit for a business woman. You can add some personality to a chopped, layered, even cut or curly look. Of course, the bob isn’t ideal for every woman, but for those who have a round, shapely or slim face will look perfect with this style.

2. Straight and wavy

If you have straight hair, you can compliment it with a hint of waves. A style that shows versatility in your hair will likely gain some attention at the office, and lighten up your face. It’s quick and great to wear all day, at any corporate event, meeting or occcasion. Use a flat iron or curling iron to create that flawless look.

3. Easy updo or backwards style

The flipside to letting your hair down, exists in an easy updo. For the long or medium-haired woman who prefers to keep it simple and classy, can pull back the hair with a bobby pin, clip or chopsticks for the hair. During inclement weather, you can opt for this when the hair is a bit unmanageable or frazzled. In addition, you can accessorize with extra hair extensions to add fullness and length, and pull it back into a ponytail or bun. There’s so much you can do with the backwards style.

4. Classic multi-layered curl

The curly texture for all lengths – short, medium or long – adds some thickness and style to the hair unlike straight hair. And it has a long-lasting effect which is great for the office. Give the hair a layered effect in certain parts or all over the hair for a swift balance.

5. Natural, braided or locked hair

You can still maintain the natural African American hair for the office. Not only is it low-maintenance, but it liberates the hair from chemicals that is used in relaxers. Other optional styles are single braids or cornrolls going back, or refined locked hair that doesn’t draw attention.

6. Short bangs with long, medium or short tresses

Bangs are the ultimate beauty component for black hair. It adds some body in the front of the hairline with a curl, flip or cut. It’s the type of the hairstyle that’s coming back to rule all ages and ethnicities as a classic hairstyle, but especially for black women with relaxed hair.
