Abstract
Algunas mujeres afrodescendientes ocultan su cabello natural africano debido a os múltiples actos racistas que se dieron durante la esclavitud y por la ausencia de comunicación que se evidenció a lo largo de su formación como persona e integrante de la comunidad afrocolombiana. Esto sirvió para que se formaran movimientos sociales en pro de liberarla a ella y a su pelo, sin embargo, existen instituciones públicas y privadas que impiden mostrar su verdadera personalidad porque su tipología de cabello no es considerada presentable en algunos sectores de la sociedad. Por ende, varias optan por salidas fáciles: alisar sus hebras u ocultarlas bajo pelucas para así asegurar una libre interacción social. Contrario sucede con aquellas que en vez de cubrir sus raíces toman cada uno de los peinados que se crearon durante esa época colonial, los replican y generan contenidos que serán divulgados por medio de redes sociales con la intención de ir rompiendo poco a poco esa barrera discriminatoria que existe en torno a su cabello natural. Al mismo tiempo, los estilos son identificados como un emisor dado que cada uno de ellos se ha realizado con un propósito comunicativo fundamentado en la historia africana, lo que convierte a la mujer en un hito en la construcción de identidad étnica y cultural afrodescendiente a partir del arte de peinar.
Some women of African descent hide their natural African hair due to the multiple racist acts that occurred during slavery and the lack of communication that was evident throughout their formation as a person and member of the Afro-Colombian community. This served to form social movements to free her and her hair, however, there are public and private institutions that prevent her from showing her true personality because her hair type is not considered presentable in some sectors of society. Therefore, many opt for easy ways out: straightening their strands or hiding them under wigs to ensure free social interaction. The opposite happens with those who, instead of covering their roots, take each of the hairstyles created during that colonial period, replicating them and generating content that will be disseminated through social networks with the intention of gradually breaking down that discriminatory barrier that exists around their natural hair. At the same time, the styles are identified as an emitter since each one of them has been created with a communicative purpose based on African history, which makes women a milestone in the construction of ethnic and cultural identity of African descent from the art of hairstyling
