afro wig

Synthetic textured hairpiece

An afro wig is a wig styled to resemble an afro—the rounded, voluminous hairstyle of tightly curled hair worn naturally by Black people.

Afro wigs are worn for costume purposes, theatrical performances, or by those who want the look without growing their hair out: She wore an afro wig to the seventies party.
