Afro Inspirations

Can we be genuinely honest for a second? Afros are fierce and amazingly beautiful. Whether it be your natural hair, weave, or a wig, the afro kinky look is to die for.

Let’s go over a little background history. Afros made its appearance in the late ’60s. It became popular in the early 1970s among the members of the Black Panther Party. Other reasons were due to the smooth and cost-effective maintenance of wearing your hair in its kinky natural state.

As years went on entertainers like Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Prince, and much more took the stand to rock an afro in music videos, or red carpet events now and again. This trendsetting hairstyle paved the way for other everyday African American hairstyles like dreadlocks, high-top fades, and twists.

Now you may ask what the reasoning behind why people have been sporting this unique hairstyle lately? Its simple, Afros can be worn as an alternative or as a symbol of black pride. Either way, this bold hairstyle can be the ultimate unique look. Most importantly we are loving these versatile Afros that celebrities have been seen rocking as well.

It’s riveting to see kinky hair and Afros being worn more now these days, primarily by our role models and celebrities. Afros paved the way for a lot of people to start embracing the hair that they have been born with.

Times are changing, and we see that perm and relaxer sales have declined at about 45 percent in the past three years. This decrease in sales is thanks to these beautiful celebrities and role models, who show the world that there is a particular pride in rocking the hair that comes out of your head.

Remember that we are all beautiful no matter what shape, color, or hair texture we may have.
