Burgundy and mahogany highlights are exceptional in black women hairstyles. The latest African American hairstyles are full of lively colour ideas and this super-shiny medium bob is a fabulous choice for a sophisticated, woman-about-town! Have a happy medium by leaving the bright color on the lower half of your hair. An angled, asymmetrical bob looks stunning with both straight hair and curls. The strong angle from a short, stacked-back to below the chin is perfectly accentuated by the contrasting ash-blonde stripes.
