Model Janaye Furman shares the message and process behind her handcrafted Afro picks.
Soon Furman was wearing the pick at Paris Fashion Week. “People backstage would be like, ‘Do you know there’s something in your hair?’ and I’d be like, ‘Of course I do,’” she says with a laugh. “And then people on the streets would be like, ‘That’s cool, what is that?’” She found herself stopping to explain its meaning everywhere she went. “I realized so many people don’t know about Afro picks and what they mean,” Furman says.
We understand we’re different colors, but if you break it down, there are so many more things involved—our rituals, our cultures, our religions,” she says. “It can be a political statement as it was for the civil rights movement, and that’s exactly what the Afro pick’s history is, actually. It’s been here for 6,000 years, dating back to Egypt, where they were made as status symbols with different groups in Africa.
