Afro-textured hair is a term used to refer to the typical texture of Black African hair that has not been altered by hot combs, flat irons, or chemicals (by perming, relaxing, or straightening). Each strand of this hair type grows in a tiny spring-like, corkscrew shape.

The overall effect is such that, despite relatively fewer actual hair shafts compared to straight hair,this texture appears (and feels) denser than its straight counterparts.
