50 Best Shaved Hairstyles for Black Women Ideas in 2022

March 4, 2022 by Lorene Kendall 2 Comments

Shaved hairstyles for black women aren’t everyone’s piece of cake. Rocking a semi-shaved or completely shaved head like a total diva isn’t easy – it takes courage, attitude and a personality that is equally outgoing.

Still, black women, in particular, look absolutely stunning with creative shaved hairstyles.

The fact that they have gorgeous, naturally curly hair makes styling a shaved haircut even more fun, especially considering they have options like faux locs, twisted braids, and mohawks.


When it comes to shaved hairstyles, you just need to be brave enough to take the first step – after that, you have limitless possibilities for styling! So have fun exploring these fabulous shaved hairstyles for black women!

If you previously had shaved the side of your head for an edgy pixie cut and you now want to grow your hair out, do it with style. Gently comb down the shaved part to your side and style the rest of your pixie in soft waves.

2. Playful Afro on Short Hair

Make the most of those bouncy, adorable, tiny corkscrew curls. Shave the sides of your head and let your curly locks playfully jump around above.

Buzz cuts are super cool for girls with beautiful faces, but what if you took yours to the next level? Put some attitude in it and shave a part to your side for instant glam.

4. Double Edge Shaved Lines

As you have noticed, pixie cuts are one of the biggest trends for shaved hairstyles for black women. To make your pixie even more eye candy, dare to shave another line halfway between the top of your head and your ear.

We all love embracing our feminine sides. Channel your inner 50s diva and go for a retro pixie with shaved sides, dyeing the top part silver. Style those waves in a gentle side part and be ready for everything!

6. Ponytail Up, Shave Down

Even if you do decide to experiment with shaving your head, that doesn’t mean that you can leave parts of it long. Try out a precise undercut and leave the top half of your hair long and silky. You can style it in a perfect high ponytail or even a messy bun.

7. Curly Shaved Mohawk

Make your naturally curly locks stand out more than ever before with a funky mohawk. This is one of our favorite shaved hairstyles for black women as it combines femininity with that sassy edge we’re crazy about.

8. Curved Line on Short Natural Hair

While straight angles are definitely a trend among shaved styles, adding some curves can have an amazing impact. For a more dynamic look, opt for a curved line along the side of your head.

9. Double Shaved Lines

The more, the merrier! This shaved hairstyle doubles the curved lines – they will look awesome on teeny weeny afros too! Let those beautifully curly locks bounce around bordered by two edgy lines.

Use this style as inspiration, but feel free to experiment with lines in different directions and on different parts of your undercut.

13. Crimson Defined Curls

A deep, rich shade of red will always look marvelous, regardless of your skin tone. You can combine long, wavy locks with faded shaving on one side. Add another line to enhance your fierce femininity.
