The Afro with natural curls defined and structured with the coils/twists hairstyle.
Coils/Tortilles are a hairstyle that defines natural curls, regardless of their size. The curly strands are twisted around themselves to create a more defined look. Hair often simply called "kinky" is naturally curly and therefore has the ability to curl. This can cause it to shrink or stretch.

This hairstyle does not work on chemically straightened, relaxed, burnt, or heat-damaged hair. It is best suited for well-nourished and hydrated natural kinky or curly hair.
The length of the extensions is chosen according to the size of your natural curls. The smaller the curls, the thinner the extensions should be to avoid creating a loc'd appearance if that's not what you want.
Small curls are more visible when they are separated into individual sections. The more sections there are, the more volume there is. And the visibility from a distance also varies depending on the size of the curls. The thickness of the hair sections during the defining process is chosen according to the size of your natural curls. So, the smaller your curls, the smaller the sections you should use so that the hair can spring back and not form locs.
More information on the different buckle sizes can be found here.
There are different techniques for achieving this hairstyle:
- A fine-toothed comb, preferably conical in shape, is used on a detangled section of hair. It is placed at the root of the hair and rotated along with the hair, working downwards to the ends. Continue working downwards as curls form on the hair.

- The fingers, each strand of hair is twisted around itself on a finger.

- a wand , the wick is wrapped around the wand and the wand is twisted on itself.


The hairstyle currently called "Afro" is simply the appearance of natural, loose (untied) curly hair, which takes on different appearances (volumes, lengths, sizes, etc.) and different textures depending on the manipulation of the curls desired by the wearer of this hair, the size of the natural curls, the degree of nutrition and hydration of the hair, the thickness of the hair, the health of the wearer of this hair, the mood of the wearer of the hair and the environment (cold, snow, rain, sun, limestone, heat, etc.).
Today, Afro hairstyles come in many different styles to suit everyone's taste.
Thanks to our natural hair versatility, we have the choice between the curly state (defined natural curls), the so-called "kinky" state (loose curls), or stretched hair (loose curls).
