Afro hair curlers are hairstyling tools specifically designed for coily and tightly coiled hair textures. They are typically made of flexible materials like foam or plastic and come in various sizes and shapes to create different curl patterns.
Afro hair curlers have been an integral part of Black hair care for centuries, used to add volume, define curls, and protect hair from breakage. In the 1950s, the invention of the perm rod revolutionized the use of curlers, providing a more permanent curl than traditional methods.
