Afro hair is a specialist field within the hairdressing and cosmotology world because it is so different to European hair. Although there are some hair stylists that do work across both hair types they are rare. One such stylist is the World renowned Errol Douglas who has moved African hair styling in the UK into the main stream and definately away from the traditional afro or black hair looks.
