How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

Other races have women with exceptionally long hair and they could care less.



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

I am an African American female and when I was little I use to run around with a towel on my head pretending I had long, blond hair. I didn't understand it then I just wanted to be pretty like the women on T.V. Now, I understand that on T. V. you see a standard of what someone else says is beautiful. It's also in magazines and such but as a child everything and anything "white" was beautiful. Now my hair is blond but natural. White people taught me to love my hair, my skin, and what ever else came with my race. They loved that I can do things they couldn't or that I never worried about being too pale. Long, straight hair is still the norm of beauty in our culture but as we African Americans learn to love ourselves, see ourselves represented in a positive light on T. V. and in magazines I think you will see a difference but until then there are a lot of grown women who still are running around with towels on their heads. Wearing Weave, I might add, did show me a little of what white women deal with and helped me love my natural curly hair. They pay big bucks to get what I have naturally and long hair can be hot and heavy. That was an awesome question. Have a blessed day!

who knows?



people have said so many stupid things to me about my hair it is pathetic



just more holdover from the mess of slavery



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

I never realized it was a big deal. Wherever I've been it has not been a big deal. Who cares?



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

agree with sunflower



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

I know, weird huh.



I am half black and I used to have very long hair and people would always say "You're not full black are you?" so I finally I cut it to make them shut up.



I'm growing it back now.



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

Because people are stupid. I'm apart of a family with woman who have naturally long hair. Its not a big deal. It's unfortunate that to much emphasis is placed on things that are not important. long, short who cares. Your hair doesn't make you.



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

i have no ideal because a lot of people come up to me and ask is my hair weave.



it irritates the hell out of me just because i have long straight hair and I'm black



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

I am not going to lie but you tend to see really long hair in other races more than the black race; there were like less than 10 Hispanic females at my school and most of them had longer hair than all the black girls in my school LOL



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

I thought Hispanics were known for long hair.



Well I don't think its a big deal. Don't know why it would be.



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

lmao that's an issue? That's fair to midlin' shallow I'd have ta say. What exactly do people say? "Oh you have such pretty hair"? Cause that's just racist....



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

Jezebel that sucks you cut your hair because of people.



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

Um....because you're a victim of something. Is that what you want to hear?



Don't be so sensitive about it. Besides....it is not really hard to figure out why some people are a bit awed by a black girl having naturally long hair. It is unusual. DUH. Why does everybody have to turn everything into some sort of victimization? Aye aye aye.....



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

becuase they think its weave so many african anericans have weave what would they think but if you do congradulations.



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

I know, i hate it. One time this stranger (Black girl) on the train asked me if that's my hair or am i mixed. I'm like who cares.



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

Because people have misconceptions that African American females only have short hair when that is not the case. I think it is stupid and shallow to view someone solely on their hair. I hate it when you are black and you have naturally long hair people need to ask if it is yours or not. Who cares, their are many women who don't have natural long hair of different races but nobody ask them. It is just hair anybody can have long hair if you maintain it.



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

Because it's not common.



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

just something to talk about...its ignorant



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

I don't know but what really bothers me is when they stick their hand in my hair IM NOT A CAT PEOPLE!!! DON'T TOUCH ME!!



How come when a African American female has long hair it's a big deal?

I know! I remember one time I had my hair cut just a little bit and people were freaking out about it. Big deal it's not like I went bald!!!!

What do you do when your hair is puffy big frizzy curls? just wondering:)?

what do you do?



and dont say shave it off or else ill just report you



What do you do when your hair is puffy big frizzy curls? just wondering:)?

You don't say if your hair is naturally curly or permed. I am not sure if it makes a difference. I have naturally curly hair (insane amounts of coarse, naturally spiral curly hair) and do get compliments all the time.



First of all, never brush or comb your hair. If you do, even if it is wet after a shower, or EVEN BEFORE the shower, you will end up with frizz and Rosanne Rosannadanna Hair.



Secondly, you probably can't condition your hair too much, but adjust according to your hair. I condition my hair every day in the shower and wash it out, then often use conditioner in the place of gel after wrapping my hair in a towel to dry.



Thirdly, although you shower every day, using shampoo every day maybe too much. Every other day, with daily conditioning maybe sufficient.



Fourthly, finding the right product for your hair issues is key. It is super hard to find the right thing for curly hair. I have the extra burden of being chemically sensitive so I can't use anything with perfumes or parabens, etc. It sucks, but finally found some good conditioner: Unscented Hair Rinse by Real Purity at www.realpurity.com The shampoo I use is Fragrance-Free Shampoo by Pure Essentials. You also may like Whole Foods own brand 365 for shampoo and conditioner. A deep conditioner that I just found is Smooth As Silk by Giovanni at Whole Foods. (I think the deep conditioner may make my hair a bit frizzy if I don't follow with Real Purity's Hair Rinse.)



Lastly, I found that when I do some sort of coloring or lightening to my hair, it will tame the frizz a bit but leave the big spiral curls.



Curly hair is so hard. The magazines never give the right tips. It took me two decades to figure this stuff out. Crazy!



Yours in perfect curls . . .



Good Luck



What do you do when your hair is puffy big frizzy curls? just wondering:)?

I straighten it.



But you could shave it.



What do you do when your hair is puffy big frizzy curls? just wondering:)?

First, if you're not using a salon quality shampoo and conditioner, start. Generic store shampoos and conditioners are not required to have a balanced ph and can mess up anything you've done chemically to your hair and make it that much worse.



For curly hair I would recommend the Catwalk Curls Rock shampoo and conditioner. It's fairly inexpensive, very concentrated, so you don't have to use very much. And they also have a line of products that will help keep your hair under control.



The alternative option, which I don't recommend as highly, is getting your hair relaxed. But that is a harsh chemical process and after a couple months starts to look really funny when your natural curly hair that's been growing starts to show.



What do you do when your hair is puffy big frizzy curls? just wondering:)?

you straighten it. it will be a lot easier if ur white.



for me



its



really hard.



you can also get a perm.



if you want to keep you curls, you can get it texturized or twisted.



just look up 'texturizer' or 'twists' and you'll be able to see what it is. =]



i have really dry frizzy big curly hair. so i know what its like.=/



What do you do when your hair is puffy big frizzy curls? just wondering:)?

My hair is wavy and frizzy. but i have started using sun silk anti poof. it works pretty well. better then any other shampoo i have tried. also try herbal essence none of your frizzness. use the shampoo, conditioner, and the leave in creme. this works great too. used this before i startes using sun silk. both work great.



What do you do when your hair is puffy big frizzy curls? just wondering:)?

You can use a shampoo and conditioner that tames curls like Organix Curling Citrus Mango Shampoo %26amp; Conditioner. You could also get a smoothing shampoo and conditioner like Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk, Soft %26amp; Silky Vanilla Silk, or Smoothing Shea Butter shampoo and conditioner (I love all of Organix's shampoos and conditioners, if you can't tell already).Organix aslo makes a curl reactivator that is good at keeping curls under control and not frizzy. For more frizz control, I reccomend TRESemme Anti-Frizz Secret Smoothing Creme (it works so well and it doesn't weigh down your hair).



Just a few tips: never brush your hair when it's wet (frizzy %26amp; poofy), try to limit how often you heat style your hair (if at all), and try to get your hair trimmed every 6-8 weeks to keep it healthy. Rinsing your hair in cold water right before getting out of the shower will help smooth the hair shaft and make it shiny. =)

How big do you need your hair to get cornrows?

do you need a big big afro can somebody show a picture then



How big do you need your hair to get cornrows?

...as long as you have a little bit more than just enough to grip some people can do them with just that much hair...I personaly won't even atempt to braid someone's hair that isn't even just around an inch long...go to a braiding shop because usually they can do cornrolls with short hair because they are so skilled...

In what direction do you put hair rollers in your hair for the big loose curls?

Front to back



In what direction do you put hair rollers in your hair for the big loose curls?

idk! but i reallllllllly wanna kno!



In what direction do you put hair rollers in your hair for the big loose curls?

idk the length of your hair, but i have long hair with many layers. At the top of my head i roll them under to produce volume at the top. Once you get to the bottom layers it doesnt really matter as much because I have a lot of hair (i use every single one in the set and sometimes need to re-use a few). Experiment with some hot rollers on an off day and see whats best for u!



In what direction do you put hair rollers in your hair for the big loose curls?

I MOST OF THE TIME PUT THEM IN THE TOP THEN WORK MY WAY DOWN THEN TO THE BACK LEAVE THEM IN FOR ABOUT 15MINUTES THE LONGER YOU LEAVE THEM IN THE LONGER THEY WILL STAY.



GOOD LUCK

I gave her $70 back because i know thats alot of money to spend on hair. Now the big problem is i absolutely hate my hair. I am just depressed and i dont like the way its making me look, my confidence has went down, its dyed dark and i usually go light. The question how do i tell my mom when i havent had the hairstyle a month? Should i give her $100 dollars say thanks again and just explain i dont really like it?
