Why Undone Natural Hair Is The Next Big 4C Hair Trend

Away from the protecting bubble of trend week, I questioned how the rising ‘undone Black hair’ pattern interprets into actual life. Bear in mind when H&M shared an ad with a young Black girl whose hair wasn’t slicked down right into a “neat” ponytail? There was genuine uproar. Perhaps it’s as a result of the phrase “undone” feels too near “unkempt” — which, to make clear, isn’t what I’m speaking about right here. All Black people know {that a} wholesome pure afro takes a major diploma of labor, dedication, and funding in nice merchandise and instruments to take care of. It takes a number of work to look so free. But, ‘undone pure hair’ on this context means kind 4 ‘fros that haven’t been over-manipulated; not slicked or stretched, or styled and outlined with the twist-out methodology. I do know what you’re considering, ‘haven’t you heard of the wash-n-go’? Whereas just like the undone pure hair pattern, hottest wash-n-go strategies are preoccupied with attaining curl definition, and for some 4C gworls, the outcomes could be hit-and-miss (and feels extra like a ‘wash-n-stay-home’). To be ‘undone’ means no defining gels, no up-dos, no ponytails, no mohawks, no cornrows — merely washed, detangled, conditioned, brushed, picked wholesome, lovely afro hair.
