Afro-Textured Hairstyles

Hi guys! I’m adding a separate category for afro-textured hairstyles to my CC templates. Can anyone list all of the hairstyle names that should be included in this category, please? Also, if you could also suggest what this category name should be, that would great. I’ve gotten some suggestions that is should be called “Afro-Textured Hair” but if you believe there is a more appropriate name, please let me know. Thank you!

EDIT: I’m also getting suggestions of naming the category as Black/Protective Hairstyles from black creators in this community. Please let me know which one I should go for?

  • Afro-Textured
  • Black/Protective

Your welcome (:

I’ll send males in a sec (:

This arent updated, but I made them some time ago, and thougt well nothing wrong with shareing them anyway.
and yes double dutch is in two, because its not a black hair style, but it looks very much like the double braids which are, with out the name I dont think you would could say which it is

I would sugest to call it curly hairstyles. Since even its rare even white looking people can have 4A curls

Yea, they definitely can. I don’t think anyone’s denying that, although I’m not sure. But there’s a difference between 3-type and 4-type, and a lot of people mistake 3-type hair that’s been brushed out as 4-type.

can be as said I do not insist on the category :blush:

I personally think “Afro-textured hair” is fine as a category name if you’re not gonna remove all the afro hairs from the other categories. If you are, I’d say keep the 3-type hairs at least in the other categories as well as the Afro-textured category. If that makes sense :thinking:
