How do you describe a Black person's Hair?

I used to tell them it looked like black cotton, (but that didn't score me too high on the friendship ladder). It does though, and I was only being truthful.

What do you think is the best style to wear black hair? Do funny braids or an Afro, or a shaved head look better to you?

Does that kind of hair provide padding?. Say if a black football player had an Afro and then put a helmet on over that, would that make the impact softer?

Or, If someone was evolved to have kinky hair to protect their head, then wouldn't it be foolish to shave your head? Would that only make your skull more vulnerable?

Just don't tell me Black hair is exactly like white hair, because it truly isn't.

How do you describe a Black person's Hair?

Personally, I'd describe my hair as kinky, but I wouldn't object to nappy. I wouldn't even mind the "black cotton" description, either.

I put my hair in any style that I dream up. Braids, Afro, a combination of the 2, twists, braid-outs/twist outs, Afro puffs; I can even straighten it if I want to, and wear it down. Anything anyone with straight hair can do, I can also do. My favorite style though, is the Afro. I have a lot of hair, so I pick it out, and wear it big; Angela Davis style.

I deduce that you are asking non-blacks for their perspective on this.

Though I have not surveyed the hair of every black person I've known, I would say that in general the texture is thick, coarse and difficult to manage.

What Ema-Roo needs to be aware of is that some black people use products in their hair that make it appear greasy, e.g., cholesterol, but that, naturally, their hair tends to be on the dry side. It is often just the products that make it look greasy.

As far as personal preference with regard to style, I love the look of nice corn-rowing or a short, shaped afro.

As far as padding -- who the heck knows? Ask someone black, not non-blacks.
