Woven Royal

Stand your crown. Curl care as beautiful as you.

Creators of the Afrona, this unique hair wrap combines fashion and functionality by protecting curly hair without flattening it. Designed by women with curls, it is made with high-quality and breathable fabric.

The Afrona is perfect for everyday wear and for protecting curls for sleep. It keeps curls defined and healthy, while looking stylish all day long.

We believe hair care should be as beautiful as the women who wear it.
