Ghetto Hairstyles ~ A New Black Fashion Statement

A Guide to Ghetto Black Hairstyles Some of the most popular hairstyles today are ghetto-inspired. Ghetto hairstyles are a popular fashion statement within the indigent communities in the United States. These hairstyles are increasing in popularity and can often be seen in hip hop music videos as the epitome of cool.

Ghetto hairstyles range from the simple, such as natural looking extensions, to the bizarre, with brightly colored spikes or extra long and colorful beaded braids with glittering hair accessories.

These days, it is not just residents of the poorer areas of town donning these hairstyles but rather anyone and everyone across the barriers.

Ghetto hairstyles are suitable for everyday wear but also special occasions such as prom or a wedding.

These hairstyles make a statement, both in the world of fashion and for the person who chooses to wear them and the versatility of these styles mean you can find the perfect style for you or even a range of styles you like so you can match your hairdo to your mood. There are ghetto styles for both men and women.

What Exactly is a Ghetto Hairstyle?
Ghetto hairstyles were originally sported by women with naturally black hair. There are hairstyles for long, medium length or short hair and you can be as creative as you like.

A lot of these hairstyles make use of bold colors, such as red, blue or purple, and the idea is to be eye catching and unconventional and find your own style to express yourself.

Blonde is not an unusual hair color on a white woman but some black women bleach their hair blonde and wear it braided, which can look really stunning.

Many ghetto hairstyles make use of weaves or hair extensions to increase both the volume and the length of the hair. You can spike the hair using gel or wax or tease the hair up for more volume and as a base for more designs.

Some ghetto hairstyles roll some of the hair up to make a bun and straighten or curl the rest of the hair. Sometimes the hair is flipped over the head and secured, with a combination of flowing curls and dead straight bangs.

These hairstyles usually last until the next shampoo and give a chic, retro style or an ultra modern, cool look.

Ghetto Hairstyle Ideas

These kinds of hairstyle look best when you use hair accessories. These make sure the hair stays in place and also gives the glam factor.

Barrettes, colorful hair clips and other eye catching hair accessories can lift your ghetto hairstyle to the next level. In ghetto society, hair weaves are considered the holy grail.

Hair weaves are no longer solely for black women and can also be seen on celebrities and people of other races. Hair weaves should be treated like a beauty accessory and not overdone.

 

It is also very important to match the weave with the texture of your own hair. If you are going to get a weave, it is best to invest in a good one. Your hair is on show all the time and ten dollars for a fake-looking plastic weave is not a good investment.

You can get all kinds of ghetto hair treatments and styles at a salon but don't forget you can experiment with your own hair. You can use brush-in colors for eye catching streaks, play around with gel and wax for body and spikes and even try a few braids in your hair. You can go for a touch of ghetto or a loud, proud style.

Ghetto Hair for Special Occasions

If you are going to a prom, wedding, birthday party or other special occasion, don't rule out ghetto updo hairstyles as being too outrageous. There are literally hundreds of different hairstyles to choose from so even adding some extensions and a few colorful streaks can look stunning with any kind of outfit. Ghetto prom hairstyles have been extremely popular this year.

If you are going to a club, you can use sparkly hair accessories which look great under the lights and you can go bigger and bolder with your hairdo, making use of more brush-in color streaks or teasing your hair higher and broader than you wear it in the daytime.

Hairstyles from the Ghetto - Dos and Don'ts
DO choose a style to complement your face, outfit and personality. Big, loud ghetto hairstyles bring a lot of attention your way. If you are uncomfortable with this, go with something more subtle.

DO experiment with style and color. There are so many ghetto styles to choose from, it is a good idea to find your own personal style. Choose a style and color to match your skin tone and keep it fresh and simple.

DO investigate your choices if you are considering extensions or a weave. Natural hair extensions are usually superior to artificial ones, although there is a world of difference between top quality artificial hair extensions and the plastic ringlet ones you can get for five dollars which look like a cable cord.

It is best to try and get natural hair, which will look far more natural with your own hair. Your hair is an investment so get the best hair extensions you can afford.

They are supposed to last for weeks or even months. Ask your friends about which salons they recommend or any they have had bad experiences at.

DON'T overdo it. Ghetto style might be loud and bold but that doesn't necessarily mean you need five different colors, a six inch beehive, seven hair accessories and a combination of curly, straight and wavy all at once.

DON'T assume a celebrity ghetto style is going to suit you. One of the reasons why ghetto hairstyles are so great is that they are so versatile. Maybe long hair doesn't suit you.

It doesn't suit everybody. A short streaky crop with spikes on top or a heavy, straightened bang is just as ghetto as a waist-length weave.

 

Whatever your personal style, there is a ghetto hairstyle for you. If you like to express yourself and make creative use of style and color in your hair, a cool ghetto hairstyle might just be the way to go!
