Young person, it saddens me that your eyes are so closed. The texture of a Black person's hair varies just as the color of our skin varies. Please pick up some history books and read about the history of our country......and open your eyes. There are Black people that look as White as you, and because your eyes are closed you can't recognize.

I know a lot of mixed people (black/white) have many natural different colours of hair, such as, black, red, various colours of brown and even blonde. I have naturally thin curly not nappy hair, it's brown and I have red and blonde natural highlights. My sister on the other hand has thick straight, light brown hair, with natural blonde highlights.

Name : Lindsey, Gender : F, Race : Bi-racial (white/black), Age : 15, City : Hamilton, Ontario, State : NA Country : Canada, Black people do not have only black coarse hair. Our hair and skin color runs the range from kinky and black to straight and whatever color. True, many blacks are not naturally blond and blue eyed, but every ehtnic groups has traits that are predominant to that group. It is easy to not notice the differences when you are not a member of that ethnic group. Also one thing that many people seem to forget is that Africa is a country populated by a wide range of people from a vast number of tribes that all have different appearances. Since we are of African descent and mixed with many other ethnic groups, we have as many skin tones, hair textures and shapes and sizes as there are colors in the rainbow.

Name : Michelle20572, Gender : F, Race : Black/African American, City : Bedford, State : OH Country : United States, Education level : 4 Years of College, Not all black people's hair are the same color, textures, etc. Some orginally born with blond (most albino black people were born with black hair), or brown, black, and so on. I had seen some black people with natural curly hais, straight hairs, etc. We're all just different. There are reasons for everyone to be different. Why do most hispanic, and other religion have same color hair? I never seen different hair color or anything. I do see alot people who dyed their hair color. I know I have dark brown hair. When I gets my hair perms (black people perms which straighten hairs etc) its turns red, ligh brown, and can see alittle blond. Its always become that color if I wash my hair and dry it hen straighten it with a hot comb or perm (not the curly hair type of per). My baby brother who is now 9months has blond hair and few brown hair. There are black people with thick,thin, or in-between hairs. I had seen many different things in most people around here. I'm just saying what I believed and know.

Black people have, who knows how many, different skin tones. So white people have different hair color. Its just another difference that we have. So what?

The colors can be from black to dark blond (I have yet to see a black person with naturally blond hair). And their hair are really not that coarse at all. It only looks so because most of Blacks have kinky hair, but it's actually quite soft. There are as well Blacks with straight or wavy hair with coarse texture.

Name : Mark22112, Religion : Christian, City : Tangerang, State : NA Country : Indonesia, Occupation : student, First off, White skin, scientifically is a recessive gene. Blue eyes is also a recessive gene. Brown skin and brown eyes are Dominant genes. Being blue, green or gray eyed is actually the absence of melanin in the eye pigments, almost as in albinism. So to summarize it,White people, as well as every other race, are the recessive offspring of darker people. Also darker people are more in tuned with the earth,in general. That is why we put 'soul' into everything we do. It has something to do wiith over genetic makeup.

When you say most of us have some white blood, what are you trying to prove? You being an educated man should know that are skin tones vary so much due to the amount of melanin we have,at times it may have something to do with us being of various ethnicities.

Name : lina, Gender : F, Race : Black/African American, Age : 14, City : new york, State : NY Country : United States, I am black and i have long straight black hair while my little sister has brown (almost blonde) hair. Some people i know have nappy hair, some wavy, and some straight. You must not have seen many black people because that question is ridiculous.

Name : Mia20628, City : Atlanta, State : GA Country : United States, The hair strands on our hair are falat llike ribbons while others of other races range from round to elliptical. Also it has been scientifically proven that the darker gene pool has the widest variety of genes. Not that we are evloved and all we are just varied.

Name : J21094, City : L>A, State : CA Country : United States, African Americans come in every color or shade you can think of, that's why I prefer 'colored' over black. My dad is rather dark and has the typical coarse black hair. My mom is an octoroon, having only one grandparent that is 100% black. She has naturally straight red to brown hair. So I came out with reddish brown skin and wavy dark brown hair. Black people come in every color from black to white have every texture of hair from nappy to bone-straight and every color from blue-black to blonde, (yes blonde but not bleach, more like ash blonde).

If our hair were smooth, our hairs would have been seriously damaged by the intense heat from the sun's light. That's why our hairs are tightly curled in, so that wouldn't happen. The coarse texture in our hair does not have the genetics needed for our hair to be different colors. I hope this has answered your question
