In what style does black people's hair naturally grow?

Thinking back to the seventies to the 'afro' hairsyles of bands such as Jackson 5, Huggy Bear and others, is that the natural way it grows? Considering the effort it takes to make cornrows, plaits and to straighten it I was just wondering. If it is, how come the tribes of africa don't seem to wear their hair in this style?



Please don't think I'm racist, I am just curious. Hopefully if you are reading this you won't mind answering - sorry if you are offended I did not mean to offend you.

o.k I am black so I will answer. I don't know if I fully understand the question but I will give it a try. the texture of the Afro hair that you see well that's the texture of our hair. its what it looks like when its combed out. obviously we have varying textures.



we corn row our hair because its easier to keep that way than the Afro because that tends to get tangled sometimes. Our hair grows in curls rather than straight like most other races.



Cornrowing doesn't take that much work sweetie we are used to it so its like clock work for us.



Make a black friend and maybe you might get to see what his or her hair is like. we really are like everyone else we make good friends. We love our hair and would be o.k with letting you see what its like and feel it. because it is the way it is we can do so much with it.

it naturally grows in a afro,



but if you wash but dont comb it will turn in to dread locks,



most tribes in africa have there hair canerowed, but there hair is still natural becasue they aint got know chemicals in there



In what style does black people's hair naturally grow?

I should imagine that all hair grows straight on all people no matter what race or they are, and the different styles are then applied either at home or at an hairdressers.



In what style does black people's hair naturally grow?

curly



In what style does black people's hair naturally grow?

It grows afro but in this day and age we've got to look nice thats why we style it cus it looks tidier as well.



And how comes europeans use extensions, colour and plaits?



same reason for style purposes.

I am a professional hairstylist and i recommend you don't change the color. Black is very hard to lift. It wants to go gold or red. You need to go to a salon to do it so once they lift the color with bleach they can redeposit an ashy color on it so it will look good. It never looks natural though. I dye my hair black and i also have experimented with a few highlights to lighten it up and i always go back to black. It just is hard to match anything with it as the contrast is so much. tan skin nd black hair is very attractive and exotic looking. maybe change the cut but keep your color the way it is.

What hair style & color is more punkish?

I want to get my hair black with red tips or red streaks. When I say red I mean bright red, probably. I might just get dark brown with black streaks.



What do you think? also post a hair style that is punk/scene.

I have full, beautiful hair. Any styles?

Any styles I can use? I'm 13 with long, black hair like a herbal essences girl. Its full bodied, but mostly straight though, and when i go out, i just put it in a ponytail. Any suggestions?



I have full, beautiful hair. Any styles?

If ur hair is like medium long length (a lil'longer below the sholder) and ur hair is all one length, I always do my hair half up half down (and I make sure my hair is sleek and strait before I put it up).



I also put my hair in a high pony and I make the strands hanging out wavy with this Paul Michel gell I use when I get out of the shower.



http://z.about.com/d/fashion/1/5/2/g/1/o...



And you could always get a cute cloth headband (its more comfortable) that wraps around your head with a cute bow or lil'button, and either make ur hair wavy with gel or straight.

I love this too! Its is very elegant if done right! But does take some time. I suggest taking a shower first so your hair is wet, and comb so ur hair is neat in 2 parts. Then you will need to make one clean bun on the back of ur head on one of the sides you parted by pulling it back,(as if making a pigtail) and making sure you get all the hair up in your high bun.Tighten with a rubber band around the bun or fasten bobby pins around it. Repeat on the other side bun. Tip:You could always braid it first then make a bun. and when U braid it bobby pin it son the ends of ur braided hair go upwardlike this:

And bright,neon, retro or antiqued looking clipss that are big or that actualy hold look great too (if ur hair is thick).



http://shefindsmom.com/blog/images/uploa...



And lastly I love to make lil'pigtails right below my ears(not the high ones) with my hair dangling down either wavy or braided! I suggest puting a rubber band in it first be4 the braid though.



http://www.saracorwinphotography.com/ima...



And always remember-there are a TON of hairstyles out there I havent even all completly mentioned like knoting ur hair, (I suggest this w/ short hair) or a making a lil'bow loop thing right be4 you take out all the hair of your ruber band! But if u want a DRAMATIC change, go to the salon and if u wear it DOWN all the time get layers(dont do this if you like ponies) or cut it short! Talk w/ur hair styler 4 more tips!



Hope this helped!



I have full, beautiful hair. Any styles?

sounds like your really into yourself.......with an "herbal essences girl" hair, i guess i wouldn't worry much. lucky you.



I have full, beautiful hair. Any styles?

why wont you leave your hair down since you said its like herbal essence type and its straight. Usual girls have have to straighten their hair everyday but lucky you its already straight.



I have full, beautiful hair. Any styles?

if you want something different, why not get a haircut. layers look good

Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

I was considering going to a white hair salon my friend says she's in and out in 45mins to an hour, which is my main reason to go. I am not interested in perming my hair but to wear a cute very short but feminine style. I have very thin curly hair, and they always struggle with it when I go to a black hairstylist. please help



Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

I don't think this is a racist question. It's simply inquiring about someone's skills and knowledge. I have gone to both black and white hairstylists. I've been to (2) white stylists, and neither was qualified to do my hair. They "assumed" the products they used on their regular clients would work. I learned that you have to ask their qualifications and if they have had the necessary training to style, perm, cut, and otherwise maintain African American hair. Some do, some don't. I have since met a white hairstylist who can do my hair like nobody's business! She's great! BUT she trained and has had experience.



I think the people who said it was racist, did not fully understand the question. Yes, ANYBODY can "cut" hair, but not EVERYBODY can maintain just anybody's hair.



Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

yes



Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

doing a black womans hair is differnt from doing a white womans hair.



it also depends on the person doing your hair



Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

a good hairdresser, will be able to cut / style any type of hair.



just check with the hairdresser, and explain what you want, and i am sure they will be honest, and tell you if they can or can not do it



Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

Umm not sure cuz i go to an all black salon too, since they know our hair more, but im guessing yes since they studied hair in college(i hope) and i guess they would have to study every hair type right?



Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

I think a white hairdresser could if they have have experience and knowledge. Just ask her if she's comfortable with cutting your hair or if she has a suggestion of someone who could



Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

Yes. Just tell them what you want done to your hair and as a professional they should be able to make it happen easily.



Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

Yes. I've seen it;) However, I would be skeptical if your friend hasn't cut a black person's hair.



When I was in the Army, I got to know my hairdresser pretty well. She was Asian and cut white and black peoples hair. She did have a different kit for each race though.



Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

You should definetly ask the hairdresser if she has done your type of hair before. And yes, your hair and color is a factor. Black people have different types of hair and if she has not dealt with your type of hair it can be disasterous!!!



Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

well not to chew you out but that question is racist, how many black people do you think would be offended if the question was phrased Can a black person do this or that?



with that aside if black people can do it so can white people that is the way it works heard of the civil rights movement? We are all EQUAL there fore we can all do the same things. now to further answer your question, African Americans have tougher hair that is harder to work with then white hair, if a white hairdresser had enough black clients i do not see why he or she would not be able to do a black persons hair



I hope this answered your question



Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

Of Course! I'm sure if the stylist has had plenty of experience with that hair type why not? If your friend goes then you should too.



Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

Wow! That is not a racist question and I am white. I think hairstylists get training and practice on all types of hair in school, but I would ask the stylist if she is comfortable doing your hair, because you already know it has a different texture that Caucasian people's hair. I have very thin straight hair and am always afraid of a new stylist scalping me, as it takes forever to grow back. Good luck in whatever you choose!



Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

You sound racist...anyone can cut anyones hair



Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

um, this is not racist. It is a question that any peron with different type of hair would ask. If you feel comfortable going to this hairdresser, do it.



Can a white hairdresser cut/style a black persons hair?

Sure they can, as long as they're proffesionals with very good experience. he/She knows exactly what to do with your hair. It's always better to bring a picture from a magazine. And you can always ask around.....

Any hair style suggestions??? Im asian, and i have long , flat, black hair. . .?

You are extremely lucky, most Asian girls I style for have beautiful thick hair.



If you do too, I suggest going to get it layered. This means that the stylist will cut your hair at different lengths throughout the style. This can give your "flat" hair volume, and it will be A LOT easier to style. Another idea is to streak your hair. Putting in highlights can give the appearance of volume and depth in a hair style. light brown to golden brown would most likely be a good decision for your hair. I would try highlights using "foil" this is a less painful method than the "cap" and it will make your hair look sexier and more sopisticated. You could also try side bangs. These bangs would not be in your face, they would fall to the side, instead of covering up your eyes. All of these things would make your hair look sexier, have more volume, and would make it easier to style. Also, investing in volumizing shampoo/conditioner would help a lot.



Hope I helped



Any hair style suggestions??? Im asian, and i have long , flat, black hair. . .?

yeah, me too



i dyed it..lightened it a bit to super dark brown. it looks better lighter, but make sure you dont over do it into a red or light brown/blonde. Asians look terrible with hair too light. if you are not going to change the color, why dont you try a different hair cut? a medium length would be nice. or a wave? there are many different things out there



GOOD LUCK



Any hair style suggestions??? Im asian, and i have long , flat, black hair. . .?

Try Light colored Highlights and then get it layered.....It will give you a dramatic new look....
