About Natural hair

Natural hair, black hair, and afro-textured hair are terms used mainly by Western people of African descent to refer to the texture of African hair which has not been altered chemically (by perming, relaxing, straightening, bleaching or coloring). It should be noted though, that not all people of African descent have naturally afro-textured hair, including many North Africans. Adjectives such as “hard”, “kinky”, “nappy,” or “woolly” are also used to describe natural hair. This hair is typically tightly coiled and soft to the touch.

Afro-textured hair is common outside of Africa because of the African diaspora and because members of other ethnic groups have hair of a similar texture. Similar hair may also be found among Black Melanesians of the Pacific and Andaman Islands and among Negritos of Southeast Asia. Just as not all Africans have afro-textured hair, some Melanesians and non-Andamanese Negritos have loosely curled or even straight/wavy hair. read more….
