African American hair

Whether you are a man or woman we all love hair especially the one on top. It is no wonder therefore the suffering we all go through when these strands start to drop.

Have you ever really noticed the diversity in hair amongst the peoples of this world. Herein is where the lies the beauty of hair from the soft hair of the white man or woman to the curly, coarser hair of the African.

Consider African American hair for instance. Although I never really though of it as different from my own as a child, I soon learned other wise. As my best friend from high school put it, "White folks have different hair than we do.

We have to work to make ours soft." This was peculiar to me at the time, but of course isn't any more. I've actually come to notice differences in many races and their hair types and styles over the years.

Very common with African American hair is the weave. This is a way to alter and add to the dew you already have. Maybe you want a different color weaved in or a longer style. It can all be done.

One style I've always loved regarding African American hair is corn rows. It just doesn't work the same when other races do it. Now, for those of you who don't have a clue, African American hair is drier and coarser in general. Not to mention curlier.

Hence the reason why black men may suffer a little more with razor bumps. No, it has nothing to do with your poor shaving habits.

It's actually related more to the curly coarseness of your beard. Since the whiskers are so curly, they tend to turn back up under the skin easier, hence causing razor bumps. You may want to try an electric or clippers instead of a blade.

In conclusion we should all appreciate and embrace the hair we're given. Ignore what everyonelse says and love what you got, I say!.

This is what my mother always told me. Irregardless of whether you have Chinese, Asian, Caucasian or African American hair doesn't matter. With the salon technology available now days, you can alter your hair style and color to any way, shape or form you please.

If you do have African American hair, it is wise to visit a stylist who's familiar with African American hair and hairstyles to ensure you get the results you are looking for.
