Yes, they can! I am black and my hair is just below my bra strap. I think that the main reason black peoples hair doesn’t seem to grow is because when women perm/relax their hair they weaken the bonds in the hair. This causes the hair to be more prone to breakage. When the hair is not cared for with extreme protection it tends to break off and the ends are usually terribly split. Therefore it appears as though the hair doesn’t grow. Trust me it does. Also when women like myself wear their hair natural (no chemicals) it usually shrinks up when its dries after washing (unless you do something like braid or twist it). My hair is very very curly(think mini shirley temple curls). Usually I just shake and go because the curls don’t frizz too much. I straightened out my hair the other day and everyone at my job was totally surprised at the length. They had never seen my hair straight before. Anyway, yes blacks can grow long hair!! You just have to take care of it. Relaxing/perming destroy hair. Oh yeah, there are some people who, due to genetics, just won’t grow long hair. And that’s regardless of race, creed, color, geographical location, blah, blah, blah. Peace and Overstanding
