Being forced? By who? Nobody's forcing you to do anything.

I've seen people of all races with hairstyles I really don't think suits them, but am I going to go up to them and say "why have you dyed your hair blonde when you look like Michelle Obama?"? No, that's a jackass thing to do.

And oh "it's unnatural!" - Yes just like living in a house, wearing clothes and keeping yourself warm with central heating. If "natural" is what you care about, ditch all your personal belongings and go live in the nearest forest.

Hyperbole much? Yeah, my opinion is that it looks like crap when people mimic other races hair. This is a forum for expressing opinions. I don't know why you say this as though it's some magical end to the discussion.

I couldn't do an afro.

My hair is naturally straight.  The moment I washed it I'd likely look like I've been struck by lightning!

Besides, the kinky hair is not just a black phenomenon.  Here is Anne Lamotte, a once wonderful writer who now writes novels so Christian I despair reading them.

She's white and blond.  Here is her hair in it's natural state:

Here's how she wears it since a couple of black girl friends taught her how to deal with the kinky hair she didn't like:

Should she straighten it because she's white?  May she not wear dreadlocks?
She looks part black.

Not seeing the black tbh

Also random but kind of related tangent - I'm wondering who did Rachel Dolezal's hair. All this time she had the world fooled she was mixed, but some zealous woman or gay out there knew her hair wasn't naturally curly. It's a mindfuck tbh.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

My husband has very coarse hair that grows up and out but not down. It doesn't even curl but just frizzes. I could see if he was a female doing twist outs to turn that frizz into pretty curls.

This is sort of off the subject but the discussion on curls interests me.

BQ, you gave a number and letter for curly type hair. What would my husband's hair be? He keeps it very short. I went to the naturally curly site and  I believe that my oldest daughter has between 2b and 2c.

I don't see my son's type hair listed in the photos on this site either. Like my husband, his hair doesn't grow down, but he has definite curls in his hair. My husband's hair doesn't really curl. It just frizzes out in a cloud.
