What’s the obsession of wearing an afro during Halloween?

Many black women who choose to wear an afro during Halloween are usually not typical wearers of kinky or afro hair and they aren’t usually seen sporting afro textured hair on a regular basis. It’s possible that women who wear afros during Halloween may not be as comfortable wearing afro texture during daily life and see it as a chance to release their inner tigress.

Throughout history, afro and black hair have sometimes been considered taboo and other times—wild and animalistic! A black woman getting dressed up as an animalistic character during Halloween, will likely choose to sport an afro.

The decade of the 70s is also a popular time period that the black community has frequented for selection of Halloween costumes. There were a number of outfits seen on celebs this year who were dressed as 70s figures. Toya held a 70s Player's ball themed party and boy was she and her daughter serving up beautiful afro kinky looks!

Of course, the 70s is one of the most important decades of all for the history of the afro.

During this period, women and men began to feel liberation from the holds of the civil rights era and reclaimed the beauty and power that was always theirs.

Once the natural hair movement picked up steam during the 2010s, the feeling was almost like the 70s all over again as women decided to put away their perms and straightening concoctions and learn to embrace and rediscover their natural hair and afro-centric beauty.

Not only is the afro a depiction of beauty and power; it also oozes sex appeal.

When in costume, women love to look sexy and so that’s also a reason why many choose to wear one during Halloween. However so, afros should not solely be worn during Halloween. We want to see our sistahs who love their fros during Halloween to also love them in their daily life. Afros are a symbol of Afrocentric feminine beauty.

They are glorious and they are elegant.
