Why is it so hard for non-black people to understand black hair?

I am tired of being the black representative for our hair in my office and other places. The fact is we can't ever ever wash and go. Unless you are mixed with something else. If you say you can and you are black you are lying. Somewhere back in your history is something other than black because we can never wash an go.

Braids are braids not extentions (non-black people get extensions)
Weaves are weaves not wigs
Corn Rolls are corn rolls not jail house braids
Dreads are dreads not braides.

Talk to me people tell me what think or what you know

Korea girl, she meant black as in of AFRICAN HERITAGE, not black as in color? I thought you guys had a better educational system than us americans did.

But I feel you on the being the black representative. But I do have to make a few points

I do have extention braids LOL
I HaTE when people call them corn rolls
And my family is jamacian and they never call them dreadlocks. They call them locks, dreadlocks were what the euro settlers in the Caribbean called them because they thought they looked dreadful lol.

ANd if you have locks or individual braids, you can wash and go lol.

Im not nit pickin at u sweetie, i'm just trying to make you smile. I had one of those days last week. But i find what you are talking about to be only the case here in the states.

Like that korea girl. Her response was that you were talking about hair COLOR, not hair of a race. Other countries dont think like americans do as far as differences between races.

I met this Japanese guy who plays tennis at the university here. He is from New Zealand. I couldnt tell what nationality he was (Chinese, Japanese, Mien, etc) so I asked. He said, I am A New Zealander. I was stuck for a min and figured he didnt hear my question so I asked him again. He said the same thing AND he had an accent. He didnt say, I'm Japanese-New Zealander, because they dont separate like that. If you are born in New Zealand, then you a New Zealander. Not African New Zelander.

Now dont get me wrong, i know that not ALL places outside of the US are like this but this continent has a majority of those kinds of issues.

Next time a coworker asks you something about our hair, get them a book, or tell them. At least they are asking and becoming educated rather than wallow in their ignorance like their parents lol. I know it sucks being the designated high priestess of all things black, but once people know about things, they are likely to share them. They ask you because they feel comfortable and are curious. Think of them like little children. Kids will ask you what ever pops in their head lol. You cant ask them why they dont understand lol.
