You all remember the hairstyle of the 60s and 70s, the flamboyant afro rocked by the most fashionable men and women. Ooops, forgot you are from the 90s (or maybe 20th Century). Well, check any old picture from the 70s, you will be surprised Popsy was once a “guy”.

Afro, sometimes shortened to ‘fro and also known as a “natural”, is a hairstyle worn naturally by people with lengthy kinky hair texture or specifically styled in such a fashion by individuals with naturally curly or straight hair. The hairstyle is created by combing the hair away from the scalp, allowing the hair to extend out from the head in a large, rounded shape.

Well, like all things, afro went out of vogue in the late 80s. But that’s not the end. Afro is back!

The timing makes sense. Natural hair is a perfect fit for a generation that shuns Styrofoam and loves composting, hybrid cars and eco-friendly yoga clothes. “It goes with the holistic lifestyle people are trying to live,” explains Glen Ettienne, owner of the De Lux Gallery hair salon in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. “People are trying to eat better, cut back on chemicals. It’s not a phase — it’s becoming the culture.”

The real afro is just natural hair, but keeping it is not as simple as that. It’s takes a lot of time and effort grooming it. But the look it gives you is worth the sweat.

So, will you join the afro band?

Y'know, the thing with afro is, it looks great on almost everyone who cares to rock it. Just keep it neat. Had a short version during my university days. Looked so cool on me, my girlfriend insisted on fixing one too!

Oh, glory days!

Its the natural way our hair grows so can never get outdated.
Its like asking if long locks would ever get outdated for whitemen; not possible because even those without hair grooming money grow them naturally.

True, though some Afros are not "natural", some are just wigs.
