Having long hair is great, but it can be time-consuming and expensive. This is why some women will choose to keep their hair short, so that daily grooming can be minimized.

However, every woman still wants to feel feminine and beautiful regardless of the length of her hair. To do this, she may choose to add a little bit of her personality, along with the creativity of the hairstylist into her look.

If you’ve been thinking of getting a haircut but are not sure what it will look like on you or whether you will still be able to keep your feminine look, then look no further than this post because I will be sharing many feminine natural haircuts that will elevate your beauty and make you feel more beautiful than ever!

These hair cuts are also ideal for women who choose to do a big chop after transitioning or before fully going natural. So rather than getting a traditional haircut that may make you miss your hair, you can opt for one of these edgy haircuts.

For a unique look, you can dye your hair and won’t have to worry about hair damage since your hair is still short. If you’re concerned about looking masculine, you can add an accessory such as statement earrings, necklaces, and makeup.

The good thing is that these haircuts can be worn to a casual or formal event, the workplace or out on a date if you wish.

How to Maintain Your Hair While in a Fade

One of the upsides of keeping your hair short is the low maintenance you get to enjoy. This means that you can just stick to your usual was day routine if you can’t be bothered with the upkeep that natural hair requires sometimes. But if you want to grow your hair out a little bit, so that you can switch up your hairstyle whenever you want, then there may be some upkeep required to maintain the hairstyle.

If you want to wear a twist-out, cornrows or some sort of a braided hairstyle, you will need products like a curl-defining cream, hair gel, foam mouse and a leave-in conditioner to maintain your hair. You will also need to maintain your regular shampoo and deep conditioning routine.

How Often Do I Need to go for a Touch-up?

This depends on how fast your hair grows and the type of look you’re going for. But I will suggest a weekly or biweekly touch-up. This way, your design will remain fresh and new.

All you need to keep this hairstyle looking fresh is to wet your hair in the morning, apply a hair gel of your choice and brush your hair into waves.

To accessorize this hairstyle, add a chunky hoop earrings and a necklace of your choice.

3) Afro Coil Fade with Design

If you still want to leave some hair on your head, so that you can have something to work with, you will be best served with this haircut. To get the curly look, you will need a really good twist and loc gel, along with a twist sponge to define your coils.

Pair it with a thick necklace and gold stud earrings, or something similar to your own style.

4) Shaved Sides & Multiple Studs

Make your fade cut super edgy by getting multiple stud earrings and a Daith piercing. The earrings are totally optional, but if you’re looking for a truly edgy look, this is definitely a great one.

Who says getting a haircut will make you look like a man? You don’t even need a lot of accessories to feel feminine. The good thing about leaving some hair on your head as opposed to shaving everything off is that you can get creative with your hairstyle, without spending too much time styling your hair, since you don’t have much hair to work with.

5) Simple design shaved side

Sometimes you just want something simple for your hair that still shows your personality. A shaved side with simple silver hoop earrings can achieve that for you.

If you’re not into elaborative designs, you can still get a simple design and you will still feel beautiful. The good thing about fade haircuts is that you can get new designs every month, if you wish. So if a particular design is starting to wear off on you, you can just wait a few weeks for your hair to grow out and you can go back to the barber for a new style.

6) Statement Earrings & Design

Put on gorgeous statement earrings and a statement necklace and rock any fade style.

A design like this definitely does not take 5 minutes to create and requires serious craftsmanship. It may seem like a style that’s mostly for black men but that is not the case. Black women can rock it like no other.

Swooping, pointed designs create such an interesting effect, and paired with hoop earrings, it can really bring out the feminity in this short style.

Navy Blue is not seen as a typically feminine color, but it is and it looks fantastic alongside a simple edgy design

35) Pink Fade Haircut on 4c Hair

It might seem risky to dye your whole head such a bright color, but on the bright side, since your hair is already cut short, there’s not much to lose if you decide to cut it all off and try again. It’s a great way to try different colors and experiment with looks. You can always find hair pick earrings to wear with any color you choose.

41) Summer Color Edgy Fade Hair Cut

Yellow compliments our skin so well so why not dye our hair to match the summer sun? Adding geometric shapes is just the icing on the cake for edginess. Add a pair of earrings in the shape of our continent, Africa to add even more regalness and brightness to this style.

42) Turquoise Green Fade  Splash of Color

There’s nothing edgier than adding color to your fade cuts- but if you’re nervous, just try out a hair paint before committing. You do always have the option of cutting it and starting over which is a win/win situation in my book.
