THIS week people across the globe celebrated all things natural, admiring the beauty of Afro hair.
On September 15, people took to social media to showcase their natural locks, giving the world an insight into the pride amongst the Afro Caribbean community on World Afro Day.
World Afro Day aims to highlight positivity in the black and mixed-race community by celebrating the beauty and history behind the Afro.
As part of our celebrations over at W I P E D magazine we wanted to highlight five celebrities who have recently rocked their Afro.
1. Viola Davis
The how to get away with murder star has shown us how to flaunt our natural hair over the past few years.
We love that Viola has continued to parade her natural hair across her roles in film and TV such as Lila and Eve and Widows.
2. Tracee Ellis
Known as a ‘celebrity hair icon’, Tracee is constantly championing her natural hair both on-screen and off-screen.
The actress, most known for her role in sitcom Black-ish, has gathered a large amount of support for her relatable hair care posts on Instagram.
With a follower count of 9.4 million, it was no surprise when Tracee announced her new hair care line called Pattern.
Pattern specialises in textures 3B to 4C Curls.

The 9-1-1 star switches from wigs to natural hair and we love the transition.
No matter how she wears her hair, the 62-year-old star doesn’t look a day over 40.

Actress Amanda Seales who recently left her presenter post at The Real, was always co-hosting the show with her thick and healthy hair.
