A Natural Afro Hairstyle

the "Fro" Style

This natural afro style became quite the talk after famous African-American singer, Erykah Badu, wore it with pride. Widely popular in the 60's and 70's it came back as no surprise as a symbol of beautiful and natural hair. This style promotes natural, strong and healthy looking hair.
It could be hard to grow a big fro like Erykah Badu's but you could achieve that look also with an afro wig.

Instructional tutorial for wig placement

Here is a great instructional tutorial I stumbled upon. The tutorial shows and explains placement of wigs. Wig placement would differ slightly depending on the kind of wig you are using, whether it is a full wig, half wig, or a wiglet.
