No.... It all depends on the texture of hair you have and how long the hair is. ------------- |

Nappy is subjective. Meaning it depends on who your talking about and who's opinion it is. In Africa men with straight hair is looked at as outsiders. In America nappy hair is seen as bad, Not in the Civil Rights Era! Now we are bombarded with MTV and BET with high yellow people with straight hair saying they got good hair and we got nappy hair if it's not like theirs. This is a touchy subject that we should all look to our African history in this country and in Africa and see where the word nappy came from and why. ------------- Look to the skies and keep your eyes on the prize!

the reason i dont like my nappy hair (which isnt that nappy on the first place) is how much it hurts to pick when i had my braids |
... thats the reason i cut my ish to get waves. i still wish i had my joints but we can do this wave thing for a while too i guess

Me too! When I was a little boy my mother wanted me to wear an Afro, which everybody including white people sported back then, but I couldn't because my hair was too "nappy" for a pick or a comb. So she had cut it all off until I got old enough to cut it off. Now I cut my own hair and still cut it all off. But now I sport waves and ladies love it! And so do I! So it's all good but it still bothers me a little that my natural hair is called nappy. ------------- Look to the skies and keep your eyes on the prize! I been through Hell but, STILL I RISE! |
Now that I'm a MAN I understand that Black people are not very well accepted as themselves in America period. You'll learn! But it's all good. Posted By: BIGGMike

That one thing that I don't like is for people to make fun of other people. I knew this kid who was mixed and the kids in my hood would tease him and I would get so angry at them. My mother is light skin and she told us horror stories about people picking on her. Every since then I'm kinda protective of mix kids. We have to remember they are apart of two different cultures and this makes them speacial not wierd. My grandmother is part Brazilan and African American. My pops is Jet Black just like my grandfather who was born in Logos, Nigeria. I'm dark skin with nappy roots. Most Americans are of a mixed back ground even if they don't look like it. So nappy hair is everywhere. ------------- Look to the skies and keep your eyes on the prize! I been through Hell but, STILL I RISE! |
