Long natural hair always gets a lot of love so I wanted to create a post showing the beauty of short natural hairstyles. This roundup showcases Black women rocking all types of short natural hairstyles from baldies to low cuts with bold colors, and tapered styles with undercuts.

I organized the images from the shortest styles to medium-sized afros because I thought that would make the most sense, and make it easy for you to view the styles as they begin to grow out.
