Afro
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.〔(Garland, Phyl, “Is The Afro On Its Way Out?”, ''Ebony'', Feb 1973 ) Last retrieved Feb 20, 2010〕〔(Sherrow, Victoria, ''Encyclopedia of hair: a cultural history'', Greenwood Publishing Group, 2006, p. 21-23 ) Last retrieved Feb 20, 2010〕 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, much like a cloud or ball.〔〔〔(Mercer, Kobena, ''Welcome to the jungle: new positions in Black cultural studies'', Routledge, 1994, p. 104-113 ) Last retrieved Feb 20, 2010〕〔(Hair Designing - A Complete Course, by Various, Global Media, 2007, section 2 ) Last retrieved Feb 20, 2010〕〔("Modern Living: Beyond the Afro", ''Time'', Oct 25, 1971 ) Last retrieved Feb 20, 2010〕
In persons with naturally curly or straight hair, the hairstyle is typically created with the help of creams, gels or other solidifying liquids to hold the hair in place. Particularly popular in the African-American community of the late 1960s,〔〔 the hairstyle is often shaped and maintained with the assistance of a wide-toothed comb colloquially known as an ''afro pick''.〔〔〔
== Etymology ==
''Afro'' is derived from the term "Afro-American".〔 The hairstyle is also referred to by some as the "natural"—particularly the shorter, less elaborate versions of the Afro—since in most cases the hair is left untreated by relaxers or straightening chemicals and is instead allowed to express its natural curl or kinkiness.〔〔
