From Afros to extensions, cascading curls to blazing bobs, there\'s a buzz about black hair. From pop diva Beyoncé to First Lady Michelle Obama, the rules of modern glamour are being refreshed and reinvented. Wash and wear looks are becoming increasingly popular with natural wave and texture explored rather than ignored. Extremely curly hair needs careful handling, cutting in such a way as to achieve a defined shape to support the more random elements of the style. Mixed race women with naturally curly, but not Afro hair who want to be on-trend should be asking for glamorous, wavy styles which can be dressed up or down, casual for day time and glammed up for going out.
