Best: Alicia Keys

Keys' voluminous hairstyle is what curly haired girls dream of. Shorter recommends that women with this curly texture shampoo at least every other day to maintain thick, full curls. Got curly hair? Shorter's advice: "I don't think curly hair should have a blunt bobbed style or bangs."

This article could not help black women in any way. Washing your hair with shampoo every other day is the WORST advice you could give to a black woman. Our hair is dry and washing so frequent will make it brittle. Most natural females co-wash. Next time I advise doing research before trying to give advice.

So, all the best and "sexiest" hairstyles for black women are the ones that look like white women's hair? Very few black women have hair textured like that. Not even a nice try.

I agree that pulling hair too tightly, can cause damage to your hair line and or edges ! Although Ashanti looks awesome here ! As long as this isn't an everyday style, she'll be fine !

I have hair that is really coarse and curly, but I'm not African American?!?! Most of those chicks have fake hair anyway...

This is a really racist article. Why focus on just African Americans? I mean really, just be more considerate.

I have to agree with ajhutch! Why would ciara's hair be under the worst?
