[Naptural]/[Napptural] is a combination of the word [nappy] and [natural].\n\nIt can be used to describe a lifestyle of a person of African descent and/or their hair in it's unaltered state by not putting chemicals ([relaxers], [perms], [texturizers], [dye]) or heat applications ([hot combs], [flat irons], curling irons) in or on their hair to change the [texture] and/or color of their hair.\n\nPeople of African descent describe their hair as [kinky], [coily] and [curly].\n\nThere is much debate about whether the word naptural means 100% unaltered hair or not.\n\nMany napturals color their hair with commercial dyes and still consider themselves naptural, which is accepted within the naptural community.\n\nMany napturals also use [henna], which is a flowering plant used as a natural, permanent dye to color hair.\n> I decided to start my naptural hair journey and am no longer relaxing my hair.\n
