According to Wikipedia Afro, sometimes shortened to 'fro and
also known as a "natural", is a hairstyle worn naturally by people
with lengthy kinky hair texture or specifically styled in such a fashion by
individuals with naturally curly or straight hair. The hairstyle is created by
combing the hair away from the scalp, allowing the hair to extend out from the
head in a large, rounded shape, much like a halo, cloud or ball.
In persons with naturally curly or straight hair, the
hairstyle is typically created with the help of creams, gels or other
solidifying liquids to hold the hair in place. Particularly popular in the
African-American community of the late 1960s, the hairstyle is often shaped and
maintained with the assistance of a wide-toothed comb colloquially known as an
afro pick.
The style was popular in the 80’s but then it began coming
back but with different variations. Both men and women can rock the afro
Hairstyle as it is simple to maintain and keep. All you need is your natural
hairs and let it grow out. It is mostly common for Africans since their hair is
frizzy and natural. Styling is just combing it out or you can put a band at the
front to make it different. Would you wear an Afro hairstyle today?
