Thank you naijangel posting those photos just proved what the opposition are saying! You google natural african hair and get back a bunch of photos that show EVERYTHING BUT!!!

Not to even spk of the fact we cant compare african americans or those from the carribeans to pure africans.  African hair is WEAK and cant grow long! Its pattern of growth doesnt allow it to be combed down or held in a pony! sister locks was probably a soln the immigrants came up with to tidy it up a bit. These men should think before they start running mouth! The same men that start saying 'why dont u look like the woman on tv' will be lamenting 'why isnt your hair natural' u cant have it all mate!

Yes African hair is fragile but it does not mean it cannot grow. Hair in its natural form(off your scalp) with all the chemicals will stagnate the growth. I personally know African hair can grow because I have family members(pure Africans) back home who have naturally long hair. And I can also speak for my own hair(pure Africa) which grows but I have been cutting it and shaved it off completely not too long ago. Some of my white friends are even shocked to how  quickly it grew in length.

Those images on google whether weave or no weave shows the natural hair(from scalp). I have been to many hair shows and I know African hair does not just consist of "nappy, matted" hair even if you are not "fulani, east African or mixed". There are different variation of kinky hair"nappy" not every African has matted, pepper grain/corn, wiry hair or hard to do anything with hair.
If  African natural hair(off scalp) cannot grow why is it that men's hair when left can grow to many lengths or men and women that dreadlocks? It is because they do not use all these chemicals.

If you want your natural hair to grow know how to treat it. Leave the hot irons and chemicals alone. The growth of the African hair  can be done.

The fulanis tend to cornrow their hair very tiny. I hated it so much especially when I had to take my hair out.

@Tpia, do you mean 60s in America?

no one is talking about the smell, the ooze. disgusting.

im pretty hypersensitive to smells so i know. no matter how neat and clean the babe is after a few days it starts to smell.  they walk under the sun or do acivity, sweat from the pores on their head yet no cleaning for months.

asked one once, she said something about pink oil and sprays, thats even worse, u oil up dirty scalp,

freaky, then they keep it for months, esp the hungry wannabes in naija, braids last four to six months minimum as a cost saving gimmick. thats months of having your head not touched by water, downright dirty.

funny thing is thats the easiest way to know a woman who has grown some practical commonsense, the cut the hair and wear cute little styles. check most 40 plus women, exception being the illiteratw alhajas who had a deprived upbringing and are obliged to go crazy in middle age, and the ibo women, jeez.

i wont be sleeping in the same bed with my wife or getting all cuddly if she insists on doing the damn things for sure.   but then in their favor, some men are so obtuse and ignorant that they truly lke tarts, ibo men esp.

bottomline is whatever works for u, but most definitely women that roc these things are very very dirty lazy people

Just because you have had bad experiences with weave wearers (most likely eaten all your money) does not mean you have to accuse all of them of having stinking weaves and also  laziness.

Is this what you mean?

black melanasians, however can have straight, caucasian hair.


but i agree chemicals and other treatments do damage hair, and this cuts across races in general.[/quote]I will come to you on that. I was doing research on this matter "ancient Egypt and Black hair"

[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=665782.msg8323387#msg8323387 date=1305429643]oh ok. I am sitting here thinking you had ethiopian hair or something.  [/quote]I am not ethiopian. I am a cross breed between your 60% "nappy" and Fulani hair.

Those are the Himba people(the people that colour themselves red) and hair style. They are using clay on the hair. The women's hair are of a bigger twist

@jenifa lool, oh no, my hair when dry and brushed out without cream can look "nappy" (not like yours though but Afro  ) but "un-nappifies" when I cream or wet it.

@tpia that is because they do not look after it.

Ancient Africans hair used to be long but all these chemicals and recent developments for black hair just stagnates the growth

I do not know why Africans cannot accept diversity and variation.

This ignorances kills me.

[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=665782.msg8323326#msg8323326 date=1305427638]pepper grain hair is an entirely different class of NAPPY  !!! I know a girl with that kind of hair and it made me feel so much better about mine. she's from botswana or SA. I forgot.

I don't have data. this is just my opinion based on my experiences and reality. I know TONS of natural women so I see their hair texture.

the black girl with the very long hair is usually the exception not the rule.[/quote]OK. Describe to be "nappy". You have met a few natural woman and now you have formed data on what afro hair should look like. I bet you can now tell me what an African should look like. Oh, oh maybe you can pick me and say with the exception of my skin.

The ignorance kills me.

Jennif, What about the fulanis, tuaregs etc are you going to tell me they are mixed?

@ekt,lol, Whuuuuuuuuut!! I am full black

No, she is not.

Is that how you get to phuck those white chicks?

[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=665782.msg8323287#msg8323287 date=1305426841]^ yea I know that there are varieties. what I am saying is that 90% of naija women. and at least 60% of african american women (i'm being very generous) have nappy hair.
and it's really nothing to be ashamed of.[/quote]Where did you get that information from. Where is the link to that data. Do not make me start calling you ignorant.

Please speak what you know. The majority of people with your so called nappy pepper-grain hair are in central southern Africa.

Afro hair varies in Africa and unless you have done your research or been and met every single tribe you cannot give me that percentage.

[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=665782.msg8323277#msg8323277 date=1305426722]ok I don't want to give you the wrong idea.  there are many women with "nice hair texture" or relaxed hair who also wear weaves. kandikane has corrected me on that. it
but my point really is that most of these guys badmouthing a woman with weaves won't go near her natural hair. lol[/quote]I know. The day I shaved my head and went out I heard this dude whisper to his friend "what the f[b]u[/b]ck has she done to her head"

Jenifa what do you mean not a black woman's natural hair?

There are different varieties of Afro hair not just the "nappy" coiled up one.

lol.

You dirty man

I do not think straight hair is "good" hair but I do not mind weaves and attachments. Most of the attachments I do are curly Afros.

[quote author=Jenifa_ link=topic=665782.msg8323239#msg8323239 date=1305425968]well, the women who wear extensions and weaves are typically those whose hair cannot achieve that texture naturally (called "good hair" in the black community).

ex. do you think your own hair will look like that if you grow it out?[/quote]That is not true, I would wear weave because I do not like Hot Ironing my hair and even if I do it goes back to normal when water touches it.

My hair can be like any of them but it is naturally like 5th but with curls closer together.

Ok, you have lost me, are you saying that when men think of natural hair they think of mix-race?

I think the Afro hair has been hidden for so long that men can't remember what it looked like.

lol, I don't know oo. Ask her she will tell you.


I think it's the olden days ponytail with attachments

ok oo, continue

@ekt bear, I think her hair is similar to this

The perverts are in the building.

@190 Abeg hush. Your friend phucked a goat named kate.

I can hear crackles outside of my window.

I am thinking of going out in the garden and backhanding these witches.

lol.

Similarities are everywhere. Don't mind what these people on here say.

Nah, I don't. There are different looks to the Igbo but you know when you see someone and you pinpoint what tribe they are from, that is what I mean.

You kind of have the first ones face shape

That person was just being ignorant. I have a friend who is Igbo and you remind me of her.
