🪮I love Natural Hair🪮
Especially African Kinky Hair
Coily hair and afro hair is one of the most delicate types of curly hair. It is usually classified as Hair Type 4A, 4B, or 4C which translates to; Kinky, 'Coily' or Afro. Coily or afro hair has a very tight curl pattern and there isn't much space between the coils. In most cases the hair is left by relaxers or straightening chemicals and is instead allowed to express its natural curl or kinkiness. Not only is African hair often coiled, it also has a unique texture. The presence of an amino acid called cysteine also contributes to coil and curl of your hair. Afro textured hair types typically have a high concentration of cysteine which form strong bonds with each other, creating tension which causes hair to bend and curl. In pre-colonial African societies, Black hair was seen as a symbol of a person's identity. Popular styles like braids, twists and dreadlocks were used to symbolise a person's tribe, social status and family background. 🪮🪮🪮💕
