You will notice that most of the women in these videos have longer natural hair (Can’t really find nice styles by the shorter hair ladies, but if you know me, I’ll add my own spin on it to make it work for my length. If that means more sections, then so be it. If that means no hang time, then pin it up. Whatever the style–I make it work! You may need to do the same. 🙂

I will try and make ALL these styles work for me and then make a post pics of my hair with the corresponding video link so you can see that shorter hair can be styled.
