What is National Afro Puff Day?
National Afro Puff Day celebrates the iconic puffs of black girls and women alike. The natural hair movement of the 70s allowed black people to reclaim their beauty and naturalness and has experienced a rebirth with a new generation of black women embracing their natural hair. The afro puff is not just a hairstyle it is a connection to our heritage and a style just about all of us have worn. Some afro puffs are adorned with bobbles, jewels, barrettes, ribbons, and wraps. This day is about expression and fun.
