Resumo:In recent times, identity movements associated with the representativeness and acceptance of natural hair have been experienced. Taking on the threads as they are has been a form of empowerment and a cry for freedom in the face of oppression experienced under Eurocentric aesthetic models. Whether in Brazil or in Africa, an exaltation for the acceptance of natural hair gains strength. This is the context of the article Capillary transition reports under the eyes of a curly, whose purpose is to address processes experienced by some women in Mozambique who change to show their natural hair. The focus is on your experiences. For this article, a document review based on bell hooks theoretical precepts was used, complemented by the convenience sampling technique. The data were gathered through an application applied to Mozambicans who use social networks (Facebook). Taking into account the results of the research, it can be said that most of the interviewees consider the transition process to be good, feel satisfied with the choice and agree that the products for natural hair are expensive. It is worth mentioning that many of these women have chosen to treat their hair at home.
