Resumo: Aesthetics in women produces subjectivities, feelings and positions that lead to perceptions. The objective of the research was to investigate the relationship between the use of natural hair by black women and their subjective well-being. Exploratory descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, with 12 women from an Afro-entrepreneurship association. Based on interviews analyzed using the thematic content analysis method, it was investigated how the option for hair in its natural structure was related to black identity and subjective well-being. As a result, there was a recovery of ancestry, a process of liberation from aesthetic standards and acceptance, corroborated by self-care and self-esteem that increase subjective well-being, with repercussions on quality of life. The practicality of using natural hair appears as an element that facilitates the daily lives of the participants.

El objetivo de la investigación fue investigar la relación entre el uso del cabello natural por parte de las mujeres negras y su bienestar subjetivo. Estudio descriptivo exploratorio, con enfoque cualitativo, con 12 mujeres de una asociación de emprendimiento afro. A partir de entrevistas analizadas mediante el método de análisis de contenido temático, se investigó cómo la opción por el cabello en su estructura natural se relacionaba con la identidad negra y el bienestar subjetivo. Como resultado, hubo una recuperación de la ancestralidad, un proceso de liberación de los estándares estéticos y de aceptación, corroborado por el autocuidado y la autoestima que aumentan el bienestar subjetivo, con repercusiones en la calidad de vida. La practicidad de utilizar cabello natural aparece como elemento que facilita el día a día de los participantes.A estética em mulheres produz subjetividades, sentimentos e posicionamentos que levam a percepções.
