I think braids are very nice, and it seems like it would be a convienent way to take care of your hair, no fro experience but I just like the way braids look.

Well if you want to keep the natural look I say go for the braids. I braid my hair all the time, not extension braids but I think mostly all types of braids look nice if they're done right. With dreds, you might not like them on yourself after you get them so I wouldn't recommend them. Perm and color could be really nice if you don't mind putting chemicals in your hair. It's fine to experiment with different styles. And if you try the other styles and don't like them, a short afro is always nice :)

Depends on your face shape and your lifestyle, and how much effort you want to put into maintaining a style. I could answer you better if I saw your picture.

Many people look CUTE with a short Afro! How about a "wet curl" look? Maybe a marcel wave? Black people are SO lucky to have a versatile hair texture that lends itself so well to dramatic and "shapely" styles. I'm serious. I'm a white lady with wavy hair that goes all frizzy in dry weather and all kinky in humid weather. Here in my neck of the woods (Texas), there's no real in-between. Sometimes I get so jealous of black people who always seem to have control, no matter the weather. You're lucky, girl! No jokes here!

Why don't you try microbraids? (with extensions, of course) If you keep your hair moisturized, they should stay in good condition for weeks, at least. My roommate has very short hair (African-American) and every couple of months I braid her hair in tiny microbraids with the extensions you can get at Sally's.. try using two different colors of hair, like a dark blonde and a darker brown.

OOooohhh, I like pretty clips with glitter and sparkles. There are so many pretty hair clips now!! Butterflies and flowers, especially. They look GREAT in shorter hairstyles. You can make some yourself. Going to an arts supply store, and buying pretty fake flowers, hot gluing them to cheap metal hairclips,and you have made a beautiful hair accessory. Fingerwaves are also very nice, last about a week, and don't stress your hair too much. Twists take forever, but look nice, also. Gel the sides down and do some cute spikes at the top, that is a very cute style. Good Luck, I hope you find some useful suggestions!!
