The Afro Hairstyle: History and Significance
The term "afro" is derived from the term "Afro-American, " which refers to people of African descent living in the United States. The hairstyle gained popularity during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s, symbolizing pride in cultural heritage and a rejection of Eurocentric beauty standards. The hairstyle is characterized by its voluminous, rounded shape and natural texture.
Afro-hair is called natural hair because it is the unprocessed, unaltered state of black hair. At 3thirty Salon, we encourage healthy hair growth and optimal curl formation for afro-hair.
