Awww,only loved the number three hairstyle
I loved looks one and four. Four was especially helpful to me because my hair LAUGHS at banana clips, lol. They are a joke to my hair. I tried a frohawk with three small ponys but it lacked fullness. I’m gonna try this method soon.
Same here–loved 1 and 4. Not sure about the other two. I’m post-BC and only 5 inches long, though. So 4 is the only one I like that I can pull off. Glad I don’t have to use fifty combs to do it :-)
awww,I tought I’d finally find something creative and nice for my 6 inches long hair, but I guess it was too good to be true…cute hairstyles tough.
same! lol
Loved ALL the styles. I feel like you get the most impact w/MEDIUM length hair. I need to put my hair in a protective style to get at least 2-3 more inches. But I’ll DEFINITELY be keeping these in my style arsenal :)
Yeah her hair isn’t really short like mine is so the first 3 styles are a no go for me :(
beautiful. I wish more sites would showcase short and medium length styles more often or just give the balance. I feel it would encourage more people with that length to take a change and wear their hair as such more often.
I love three and four!
Disappointed, I didn’t see any styles for short hair, but I liked the styles that I may wear in the future. I guess short is subjective.
I agree with Emah…this hair isn’t exactly short. I can swing a shorter fro hawk, but my twist out looks nothing like that. Guess I should look for Black Girl Short Hair for help ;-)
My hair is about 6.5-7 inches in length and I only know how to do 2 styles right now: #3 and #4. Granted, my twist out isn’t as long as hers, but I think it looks just as nice. I get more height and volume because my hair doesn’t grown downward at all.
I’ve also gotten compliments on my fro-hawk too. Ladies, don’t let her hair length fool you. You don’t need a lot of length for #3 and #4. Especially if you wear flowers or hair clips to show a little color/flavor.
I think I’ll try #1 next weekend. I do worry that I don’t have enough length to pull that off, but I’ll never know if I don’t experiment and give it a try.
She is one of the few people I follow on YT. Her hair is about the same length as mine and her styles aren’t at all intricate and hard to do. I always look forward to trying them out.
I had to trim a good bit of hair last night due to SSKs *shakes fist* so my hair is too short to do these. I still think you can modify the styles for your length. She is so pretty and so are the styles. Thanks for sharing : )
I’ve done all 4 of these and love 1, 2 and 4. I’m a very lazy natual so a whole bunch of individual twists are to much work for me but I can rock a Fierce flat-twist out by only doing 10-12 flat twists.
Ditto…flat-twist out is my go to style
This is adorable if only I knew how to flat twist :(
I’m trying the first style tonight
This is good. That in between length can be tricky. This is where I am. I’m currently doing a kinky twists ‘regimen’ as my hair grows like weeds in them. Out of sight-out of mind but when I take them down my hair’s out for like a week. These style suggestions are great. I may try one.
A couple of these are cute but I wouldn’t necessary call the lengths “short”
She’s such an adorable goofball; I had fun watching her. And I liked all the styles. I’m planning to wear a variation of the first one for a formal event this weekend :-). I hope I see more of her videos, too.

Love them but I think the need is for protective styles. Unfortunately for me, I get fuzzy quickly and my twists knot up.
I like the Grecian updo…it is one of my favorite styles since I got to mid-length hair.
