The research aims to analyze the construction of the afro hair of the female characters in the work O tapete voador (2016), by Cristiane Sobral. It is considered that women's hair has long been demarcated by disqualifying adjectives that seek to naturalize the racism that is so present in social relations, whether in the world of work, in the Church and also in the daily lives of black women. To this end, we carried out bibliographical research with a descriptive and explanatory nature, in addition to following a qualitative approach and taking as research objects the short stories “O tapete voador”, “Pixaim”, “Metamorfose” and “Renascença”, present in the collection O tapete voador (2016). As a theoretical foundation, we sought Candido (2006), Woodward (2014), Hall (2003), Alves (2010), Munanga (2009), Hattnher (2005); Mattelart and Neveu (2004), Kilomba (2020), Fanon (2020), Santiago (2012), Gomes (2008), Perrot (2019), among others. The results show that, reading the selected stories in comparison with the theory demonstrates hair as an element that reinforces and gives new meaning to the female body, in addition to serving as a mark of gender and ethnic empowerment, the feeling of belonging to the black community and, of Otherwise, it would be to delegitimize the identity of the black woman, to make her move, to negate her as a woman.
