Afro hair is not the easiest to maintain, but it has the advantage of being easily transformable:from curls to straightening, through weaving and extensions, the styles are numerous and always very trendy. It is this diversity of hair choices that an Internet user, known by the pseudonym of Melanin Mamis, wanted to highlight by encouraging Twitter users to "post photos [of them] with 4 different hairstyles under the hashtag "# BlackHairChallenge”, in other words “the afro hair challenge”. And many Internet users responded to the call, celebrating the beauty of black and frizzy hair through different selfies, posted in number 4, 6, 9 or even 12.
A user evokes for example his passion for hair transformations:“4 photos is not enough, 100 haircuts in 1 year “, she writes in the caption of photos on which we see her hair sometimes with a smooth square, sometimes with a wavy square. Another young woman even broke the record, advancing to wear 300 haircuts a year, including short, very long, honey-colored locks or even red hair. All of them have one thing in common:that of proudly displaying their natural hair, even if for some the hashtag is an opportunity to “stock up on ideas for the next radical changes ". And the trend has also been followed by men on the social network, including a certain IEatFatKidsFood who even presents the names given to the different styles:"fountain", "sunrise" and "Loc Dog", character with a slightly whimsical hairstyle from the American movie Spoof Movie . In any case, we love this diversity of styles!
