Nappturality

Patricia Gaines, using the web identity "Deecoily" first coined the word "nappturality" in 2002 and created a website of the same name that year.

The term has been used primarily by African American women who have chosen to exclusively wear their hair in its natural, afro-textured state, free from chemicals intended to straighten the hair.

Several commercial hair products and websites have capitalized on the success of the term nappturality.

[3] Examples of napptural hairstyles include afros, braids, twists, puffs, wash and gos, bantu knots and many others.
