The ‘Afro Pick’ is not only a functional tool but a cultural symbol amongst the twentieth century African Diaspora, particularly with the new and growing appreciation for natural afro hair textures and grooming.

The ‘Pick’ originally dates back to 4000 B.C. during Ancient Egyptian Civilization where intricately engraved wooden wide-toothed combs were used to style Afro textured hair.

The University of Cambridge Fitzwilliam Museum has on display the oldest Pick to date, from Egypt. The symbols contained on these ‘Picks’ contained cultural and political references, demonstrating their role in providing status and pride as well as fashion within ancient civilization.

In 1972, at the heart of the ‘Black Power Movement’ and resurgence of Afrocentric 70’s sentiments, the original plastic tool termed the ‘Styling Pick’ in its black fist form, was patented and commercialized by a man named Anthony R. Romani. The hundreds of combs and picks on display in museums today show that, over time the design of the ‘Pick’ has stayed true to its roots and has not changed.
