Elaborate Afro-textured Hairstyles

“The tightly spiraled hair of Africans makes it possible to design and shape it in many ways impossible for the straighter hair of Europeans.”

-Thornton, John. Africa and Africans in the making of the Atlantic World, 1400-1680. Cambridge University Press. 1992. p. 230
