Picky Afro Style
A: Well, our website here at Hairfinder.com offers a section on hairstyles for African-Americans and others of African descent. You can find links to hairstyles for African-ethnicities here.
As for the basic, picked-out afro style, it generally requires hair of a specific texture and wave pattern (namely coarse, and curly to kinky), which is cut in a uniform layered cut.
The cut is created by selecting a length and creating a traveling guide where the hairs are cut to the length of the segment that was cut immediately before. This segment is then used as the guide for the next segment's cut.
The hair is then generally styled using a tool called a pick, which is a wide-tooth styling tool with a handle perpendicular to the spine of the teeth of the tool.
