Black women’s hair, whether dyed, straight, kinky/curly, long or short, all stem back to tribal AND Afro-anthropology.

In Sudan, Chebe women are known for their extremely long hair. In Ethiopia, women style their hair with clay (often red) as a sign of beauty and class. In Nigeria, women often utilize woven yarn to stretch their hair much like feed in braiding hair or interlacing hair extensions.

Realistically, it is fact that all appearance phenotypes originate from Africa, and not simply the first human record. So— commentary like “I just like my woman natural”, is often just anti-black rhetoric that is rooted in a projected perception that pre-supposes the natural state a black woman.
