Is an "Afro" just the hairstyle, or is it a combination of the hairstyle combined with social and cultural aspects?
[edit]I ask this question because the article has a particularly heavy focus on black people, and the culture around afro hair. Which is all fine, but clearly, such hair is not completely unique to black people, and can be found worldwide in other groups of people. For example, some white people have very tightly coiled and kinky hair, and will also grow an afro-like hairstyle naturally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C7:731:4601:7CE6:26D2:EB26:1C17 (talk) 20:47, 7 February 2022 (UTC)
