About Afro wigs

The late 1960s and '70s gave way to a cultural explosion of African American pride with many seeking to delve further into their Afrocentric roots. One distinctive mark of style among black men and women was sporting their natural hair in what was known as an "afro." Prior to a newfound sense of pride in displaying their heritage, African Americans typically used a concoction of lye or other relaxers to give their hair a more European texture. The afro hairstyle saw them rocking a full head of thick, tight curls that were teased out with a hairpick into a wild, bushy style.

Dressing up with an Afro Wig

While the Afro hairstyle originated in the African-American community, white people with naturally thick, curly hair also embraced the look, too. For a soulful '{70s} costume, you, too can be Superfly with an afro wig. Get Funkadelic like Bootsy Collins or Jimi Hendrix and sport their signature hairstyle. For a take of the much more caucasion persuasion with '70s flavor, try on a blonde afro wig and a butterfly collar shirt and bellbottoms to pull off the perfect Greg Brady look. Or, recycle the same 'fro wig for a more modern Napoleon Dynamite costume!
