I LOVE wearing my Afro when it’s not braided. I feel it makes me unique and beautiful in my own right. I don’t care if others don’t like it. The ones that do will compliment me.

Wow, I'm a black American and I always wondered where older people got the idea of not letting just anybody touch/style our hair. My mother always warned me to be careful because someone touching my head could pass a negative spirit to me. I think younger ladies should be wary going to all these new 'stylists ', no telling what you'll pick up and take home with you!

I'm so proud that in 2008/2009, I took the strong decision to cut off my relaxed hair and go natural /afro, and I haven't looked back since. People told me that, I was making a mistake by cutting off my long relaxed hair, but years on, people now wish that they have an afro, just like mine. Afro forever. Afro is beautiful.

BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE ONLY RACE OF PEOPLE WHO'S HAIR DEFIES GRAVITY AND ITS GORGEOUS

I had an afro in the 70s in high school, and I had a LOT OF HAIR!! It was very easy to maintain

It's too bad we are stuck on wigs, weaves, flat irons and perms! I JUST started wearing my beautiful GOD GIVEN hair!

In the early seventies my eldest brother return home from the Navy washed and dried my thick black locks and patiently took time to pick and shape my hair into a huge Afo it was so big and round when he held the mirror up for me to view my new do I wasn't sure what to think at the time after that hairstyling event we went to visit our grandma and she was in shock ...wondering what happened to my hair my bro told her it's a new black power hair do Granny ! the look on her face was a mix of emotions💜 from that day forward I have sported an Afro through out my lifetime, as a Black Female with Feminist views I embrace the Afrocentric hairstyle whole heartedly in memory of my brother an Artist and Activist in his own right🙏💜🙏 The Afo has been a symbol of pride and Black Power for years🙏👁️❤️👁️🙏

Afro's are our earthy halo. God gave us coils because our ancestor's was born in a hot region the coils are curly so the sun would not drive us crazy by beating on our scalp, the coils break the sun down. Afro's are bad ASF! Just beautiful.

As a black woman who has rocked puffy hair I've had people look at me funny and judge me based me on my hair type and the way I look I come from a long line of family who had afros in the 60s and 70s and now in 2022 I'm the only girl in my family that gets judged by how I look

Growing up, my mom only let me wear an Afro. She never did anything else to my hair until of course I was over the age of 18. I felt self conscious of course cause these kids didn’t understand. But my mother did!

I am wearing an Afro now at 77 yrs. young 😊

Afro represent power, intelligent, freedom, self worth, and love yourself and you boldly speaks and stand within power

I love how afros look .They are like a crown of fluffiness.

I felt so free after going natural and I did it after my high-school graduation and 3 years later my hair is so big omg I like to wear my fro out and I get a lot of compliments but the people in my family asked if I was going through something or if I need money to get my hair done 😂😂 but I don't care I love taking care of my hair and watching it grow healthier.

The connection between our hair and the creator is powerful.

I love my African hair (Nigeria 🇳🇬) and cant wait for the day others feel same about their hair. ❤❤❤❤

Thank you for encouraging a young black boy like me who is trying to grow out he's cornrows... Much love from the motherland kenya🇰🇪

Also, Afros large surface tend to disrupt the effects of the sun's UV rays from overheating the brain whiles trapping pockets of air and moisture that promote cooling.

I had an Afro, but now I have locks and love them.
