Gabrielle Union with Thick Flippy Shoulder-Length Black Haircut

Gabrielle Union made a splash with modern flippy black hair kissing her shoulders. Her "hot new cut and color" helps project the image of a strong, confident, stylish black woman. Great choice!

Garcelle Beauvais (NYPD Blue) cut off her hair and now looks very different with a short black hairstyle. It's got a few layers and enough small waves to look sexy.

Michael Michele has an extremely curly black haircut for her medium-length hair. It does look full, but it could be a high-maintenance style trying to keep frizzy hair at bay.

Queen Latifah, the comedienne and cosmetics model, conservatively styled her black hair completely straight.

Kelly Rowland lets her natural creativity shine through once again in an absolutely fabulous brand new short black hairstyle with red hair highlights. Her latest cut would be her third hairdo with red streaks (see sidebar). This one is the sexiest style of them all; it's also more fun and feminine.

Mya may have taken her haircolor style cues from Kelly or at least followed the ladies color trend. She's also got a similar red hair color, but her coverage is more even with fewer highlights.
