Rounded Afro

Medium • Coily

A rounded afro is natural coily hair grown to about ten centimetres and shaped into an even, round silhouette, with soft volume and the coil texture visible at the surface. It is also simply called an afro. It takes ten to fifteen minutes to moisturise and pick out.

The shape comes from a dry cut that follows the curve of the head, so it grows out evenly. Picking from the root lifts the volume. The shape is refreshed every six to eight weeks.

Who suits a Rounded Afro?

  • Coily hair, 4a to 4c, with medium to high density
  • People who want volume and a strong natural shape
  • Long faces. Full, rounded volume at the sides makes a long face look shorter and wider.
