Afro Hair Inspo: 11 of the Best Afro Styles to Love
Afro appreciation post ahead...
Inclusivity is a huge thing in fashion right now and we’re hoping it goes beyond just being a trend for many companies. As we’ve been paying close attention to the fashion scene both on and off the runway, we are definitely seeing a big increase in the amount of women of color, especially those with natural hair textures, captured by street style photographers. What better time to embrace afro hair inspo than during the celebration of World Afro Day which occurred on September 15th.
To celebrate, we’ve rounded up some of the most inspiring pictures of women with afros that are sporting their look out and about, loud and proud. Read on:
Afro Hair Inspo from Women On The Go
1. Brown Afro
Doesn’t this image give you so much life? This is the perfect representation of a woman who is proud of the skin she is in as well as her hair texture. Make your ‘fro stand out by adding a hint of color or simply by accentuating your natural hair color the best way you can.
2. Clean Cut
Take one good look at this cut and we’re sure you’ll notice what we notice, too. There isn’t a strand of hair out of place. Precision is everything if that’s the look you are going for. To upkeep a style like this, there’s not skipping hair appointments.
Don’t let anyone tell you any different, wearing your natural curls in a voluminous wash and go style is definitely a way to wear your afro textured hair. Use TRESemmé Flawless Curls Defining Gel to style and fluff it up for a maximum impact.

4. Edgy Afro Hair Inspo
Who said that you can’t achieve the “I woke up like this” look with afro textured hair? To recreate the style, stretch a few sections out to create the jagged yet edgy effect of this style.
5. Fluffy ‘Fro
Admit it. This fluffy afro style makes you just want to feel it for yourself. Word of advice: Hands off! Appreciate the look from afar. You can definitely try it on your own though. Wash hair with Sheamoisture Raw Shea Butter Deep Moisturizing Shampoo and Sheamoisture Deep Moisturizing Conditioner and apply Sheamoisture Raw Shea Butter Deep Moisturizing Detangler to detangle and soften. Blow hair out and fluff with an afro pick.
6. Blonde ‘Fro
On the hunt for blonde afro hair inspo? Consider your search over. To maintain this look, be sure to incorporate a purple toning shampoo like Bed Head by TIGI Dumb Blonde Shampoo to keep brassiness and yellow tones under control.
7. Mid Afro Style
If you are looking for a signature afro hair length, consider this mid afro style. Not too long and not too short.
8. Texture Play
Hello, texture! You don’t always have to wear a super neatly groomed style. Texture adds so much character to your look and makes for a great photo-op!
9. Tapered Afro
Not into round cuts? Opt for a tapered afro instead. This cut adds dimension to your style.
10. Long Afro Curls
Want to add drama to your look? Brush out your curls to create a voluminous afro effect.
11. Round Cut Afro
Let’s take a moment and appreciate how perfectly rounded this afro is. Love the shape? Take this afro hair inspo to your stylist to get this look for yourself, too.
