Ever thought about shaving the sides of your hair? As naturals, we can sometimes repeat the same styles over and over again to avoid too much manipulation or damage. Experimenting with length, however, is a great way to make a statement and be edgy with your style without damaging your hair!
Not feeling brave enough? Check out some styles below that will give you an extra push to go for it!

Want to embrace your curls while having a bit of fun with your shaved sides? This is the style for you! The curls are shaped in a mohawk, meaning you can rock them out with a fringe or even style into a bun. Any way you style your curls on top, you’ll still be able to see any cute patterns cut into your sides.
3. Bright colors

If you are a fan of wild colors, you’ll want to try this style. If you want to match this look but fear the damage of dyeing your hair, use the many temporary color hair chalks available on the market.

Why not jazz up your protective styles by shaving one or both sides? This gives you the option to either hide or show off your shaved sides! If you wear your braids, twists, or locs down, you won’t see the shaved sides as clearly, making your look way more versatile!
All of the ladies above are killing it with these hairstyles! Rocking shaved sides screams fierce, confident, and beautiful. You can get creative with your look by using color, patterns, extensions, and accessories.
