Women
Going Bald For A Fresh Look
Going bald had long been identified as a fashion for the male folk, until lately when ladies and women suddenly realised they could be quite appealing and inviting in bald look. That is , there is a spark of youthfulness in every lady, which best popped up when dressed in nature’s own way?
Those who have discovered this fact testify that they are at their best in low-cut hairs and, of course, you can say that again and again. For sure, this is the new lyric in town, “I am better of in short hairs”.
It’s quite amazing how the trend rolls around like a ball. Before, it was considered absurd to have a lady wear a low cut, probably because it paints a picture of one still in the dark, uninformed and in-exposed. Is that really the truth?
Perhaps you are yet to see some exquisite short-cut hairstyles that can lure you to give up your long hairs. Low cut hairs are most fashionable when left natural. Its limitless styling options are worth exploring by black women.
Styles like versatile bob with different angles, straightened, and typical African are but the few you need to highlight the youthfulness in you. Besides, the special texture of the black woman’s hair makes it unmatchable with so many lengths and styles. Only short hairs can perfectly compete the look you need to be your admirers’ model.
It is indeed the vogue of the moment, it is the celebrities’ delight. Nothing says edgy and stylish like short hair-dos. So, why not join the trendy train? No doubt, short hairs flatter black ladies just like the men.

Some wear trousers that are so tight just to showcase all the curves they possess.
Consultant stylists and etiquette experts say some fashions won by some persons are inappropriate because of how and when they are won.
A classic woman is supposed to dress properly. She should be able to wear clothes that will not expose hidden parts of her body. When such occurs, then it is indecent dressing.
Ladies should be known for two things, classical and beauty. One can be classic with minimisation. The minimum woman should go is to look good, decent and presentable.
Some ladies like wearing short skirts but no matter how short the skirt is, it should look elegant. The skirt should not be too short like the mini-skirt.
Dressing or fashion depends on the environment the persons finds herself. The kind of clothes won to the office may be different from the one won at home. Likewise, a dress won to a party may be different from the one won too swimming pool.
For one to look classical or decent, body shape should be taken into consideration.
Colours of a particular fashion can make one look odd or nice. Looking model does not mean that one should go naked or dull.
Don’t wear clothes that you need to drag from time to time in order not to expose yourself.
