The natural hair movement has its roots in the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. At that time, Black people were beginning to challenge the white beauty standards that had been imposed on them for centuries. One way that they did this was by embracing their natural hair textures.

The natural hair movement gained momentum in the 1970s and 1980s, as Black people continued to fight for their rights and to define their own beauty standards. This movement was led by a number of influential figures, including Angela Davis, Nina Simone, and Miriam Makeba.

In the 1990s and 2000s, the natural hair movement continued to grow, as more and more Black people began to embrace their natural hair textures. This was due in part to the increasing visibility of Black women in the media and entertainment industry, as well as to the growing popularity of Afrocentric styles.

Today, the natural hair movement is more popular than ever before. Black people of all ages and backgrounds are embracing their natural hair textures, and there are now a wide variety of products and resources available to help them care for their hair.
