The afro is a hair style created by combing out natural growth of afro-textured hair, or specifically styled with
chemical curling products by individuals with naturally curly or straight hair.The hairstyle can be created by
combing the hair away from the scalp, dispersing a distinctive curl pattern, and forming the hair into a rounded
shape, much like a cloud or puff ball.
For people with wavy or straight hair, the hair style is created with the help of permanent hair structure-changing
creams or gels and/or other solidifying liquids to temporarily hold the hair in place. Particularly popular in the
African community of the late 1960s and early 1970s,[3][5] the hairstyle is often shaped and maintained with the
assistance of a wide-toothed comb colloquially known as an Afro pick.
