Natural hair
Hair worn in its own texture, without relaxers or straightening, and the movement that promotes it.
Also: natural hair movement
Natural hair is hair that has not been chemically straightened, worn in its own curl pattern. The natural hair movement, strongest among Black women in the United States, Britain, the Caribbean and Africa since the 2000s, encourages wearing afros, twists, braids and locs instead of relaxing hair. It builds on the 'Black is beautiful' movement of the 1960s. It has also pushed for laws such as the CROWN Act in the United States against hair discrimination at work and school.
