Let’s face it. We’re in the year of “it’s LIT being black”, and still non-black cultures expect us to be ashamed of our natural hair textures.
Not happening.
We’re in a natural hair revolution and the narrative of kinky hair stories has shifted to a new dynamic. We’re unapologetic about it.
#AfrosBreakTheInternet is a collection of glorious natural hair pics from people of color unafraid to rock their hair in its natural state. Twist out goals, growth stories and an all around affirmation of pride.
Ask.
Someone start a #Afrosbreaktheinternet
