AFRO-TEXTURED HAIR














       It is said that Afro-Textured Hair is a term used to refer to the natural texture of Black African Hair that has not been altered by Hot Combs, Flat Irons, or Chemicals through Perming, Relaxing, or Straightening. Afro-Textured Hair appears and feels denser than its straight counterparts. Each strand grows in a tiny spring-like, Helix shape. It also conveys a dry or matte appearance. Its unique shape additionally renders it very prone to breakage when combed or brush.

       There are a great deal of products out there (natural hair care products) used in treating Afro-Textured Hair. Just to list a few;
 1) Black Soap for (Shampooing) West & Central Africa
 2) Shea Butter with a yellow variety for (Moisturizing) West Africa
 3) Shea Butter with a white variety for (Moisturizing) East Africa
