1 About straight hair
Straight hair appears to be a new feature in human evolution.
The benefits
- It must provide some biological advantages for hair health. It has been observed that oily hair is usually straight, and it is extremely rare for people to have both curly and oily hair. One theory suggests that the oil secreted by the sebaceous glands into the hair shaft can move down the shaft of straight hair more easily.
- Research suggests that early humans migrated "out of Africa" to Europe and Asia. During the Ice Age, thicker hair may have been good for protection against the cold. This may have been a positive choice during the cold and dry ice age.
2 African American hair
To keep it healthy, African American hair produces large amounts of protective oils called sebum. African American hair produces more oil than Caucasian and Asian hair. However, the oil does not spread evenly along the hair fiber because of the tight curls. Without lubrication, the fibers become dry. This causes the hair strands to become more brittle, which leads to hair texture.
The brittleness of African American hair adds to the illusion that it cannot grow. Tight curls create stress at every turn of the hair fiber. The hair strands become brittle, making them prone to breakage. As a result, tightly curled hair tends to stay quite short.
3 The characteristics of black women's hair
Black women spend a lot of time and money caring for their hair.
- They take their hair seriously because hair affects their mood. Black hair is completely different from all other hair While the hair of other races may be straight, wavy, or curly, most black hair has varying degrees of tight curls.
- It may be spiral, spiral, ringlet, zigzag, or curved. This is why it tends to grow upward rather than downward and can form anti-gravity shapes like exploding heads and puffs.
Black hair does grow Black hair does grow.
- All human hair grows at the rate of half an inch per month, depending on your health and genetics. Long hair is more about how much hair you keep after you break it. Dark hair, because it is curly, may be weaker than straight hair.
- Every bend in your hair represents a weak point in the hair shaft, which makes it more prone to breakage. This means it needs more care to avoid breakage. As a result, they tend to have shorter hair, but that doesn't mean it won't grow.
All options for black women.
- Perms When non-black women refer to perms, they usually refer to the chemical process that adds a permanent curl to the hair. But black hair is inherently curly. Therefore, when we say perm, they refer to permanently straightening our hair. Hair weaves For weaves, a woman's real hair is braided into cornrows or other scalp braids. The excess hair is then woven into these braids using needles and threads made specifically for weaving hair. Hair extensions Hair extensions are like weaves but usually do not require cornrows as a base. Depending on the type of extensions, hair can be added by weaving or even special glues.
Natural hair.
- This is usually dark hair that has not had its texture altered by chemicals. Some people go a step further and don't use any chemicals or anything that doesn't exist in nature. Natural hair is a big deal.
- Straightening their hair with chemicals or hot combs has been the only way for black women to look decent for a long time in most of our experiences. If you want to be pretty or have a good job, your hair better looks as unblack as possible.
Don't wash hair every day.
- The key to truly beautiful shiny, healthy hair is to balance the natural oils they all produce. If you have straight or wavy hair, the oil will flow down the hair shaft fairly easily. But if your hair is very curly or kinky, the oil will have difficulty getting through those loops.
- So while non-black people may wash their hair often to avoid excess oil, black women are more concerned about keeping what they have or adding more oil. If you wash your hair every day, your hair will become dry and unhealthy.

After the above discussion, we know the evolution of straight hair, the characteristics of black women's hair, and the fact that African Americans can grow straight hair under demanding conditions. Sufficient care and patience is the key to growing straight hair.
