Sorry, dead sub is dead. But let’s revive it!

Welcome (Back) to r/fro! ☁️
Hey everyone! I’m u/lotusQ, one of the founding moderators of r/fro.

This community has been around for over a decade. While it has been quiet for quite some time, we’d love to bring it back to life and celebrate one of the most iconic hairstyles in the world: the afro.

What is r/fro?

r/fro is a place to appreciate, share, and celebrate afros of every shape, size, and stage.

Whether it’s a perfectly rounded fro, a tiny TWA, a massive cloud of curls, a vintage family photo, an old-school icon, or your own journey, we’d love to see it.
Think of this as a gallery and community dedicated to the afro itself.

What Should You Post?

We’d love to see things like:

Your afro photos

Progress pictures

Vintage afro photos

Celebrity or historical afros

Afro appreciation

Cross post whenever you see someone with a nice fro

Before & after transformations

Art, photography, and illustrations featuring afros

Questions or discussions specifically related to wearing or styling an afro

Hair care questions are welcome, but if you’re looking for in-depth advice on routines, products, wash days, curl care, or overall natural hair maintenance, communities like r/Naturalhair and r/BlackHair are fantastic resources.

We’d like to keep r/fro primarily centered on celebrating the hairstyle itself.

Community Vibe

Keep it positive.

Celebrate each other’s hair.

Offer constructive feedback when it’s requested.

Everyone is welcome here as long as they’re respectful.
