african american?
Q. why don't some people don't like to be called african american? they liked to be referred to as american. You are of African descent, so i don't get why it's bad to be still called African. My parents are directly from africa. I was born here so I guess I'm african american, right?

A. Well a lot of American blacks are mixed with European, American Indian, or something else. That's kind of stupid to think that, just because we look black that all of our genetic history comes from Africa. My great grandfather was Irish, my grandfather was half Scottish, my dad is half American Indian, I look black. What am I supposed to call myself? I'm just an American.

African-american?
Q. Would you say that Egyptian, North African, Lybians, Malagasis, Mauritanians,... who lives in the U.S. are afro-american even if they are not black or muslim-american if they are christians,... ? How would you define them, saying that they are not lying on the street whith a bullet hole ? So, African-american is a racist term which does not includes the non-blacks, right ?

A. in the literal sense of the word African-American, wouldn't that encompass anyone who has lineage back to the actual continent of Africa? oh and by the way I know a lot of Africans that are Christians. and what's with the lying in the street w/ a bullet hole reference? you seem quite ignorant, maybe you should do some actual research before you ask another question like this.

A. You should generally choose "African American," but, culturally, the fundamental difference between African immigrants and American blacks (which is not an outdated term), is the legacy of slavery in the US. The legacy of slavery still has some people seeking reparations for the injustices done to American blacks, and sometimes black people feel that African immigrants cannot feel the same way they do about the past because they aren't descended from slaves (usually).

A. The skin condition that you concern yourself with has to do a combination of a few things amongst African American men. The first one is the way that they get their hair cut. It is usually cut very close to the skin. The type of oil that they put in their hair to make it manageable. The grade and texture of the hair and finally dirt and sweat. Now combine all of this together and this what you have. Most African American males use some type of oil in their hair to make it look nice. What this also does in the process is close the pores on the scalp and around the neck area so now the scalp can not breathe and some of the hair follicles are now trapped under the skin. The next process is the cutting of the hair. This will make the… [cont.]

A. You might want to try olive oil products for her hair, it smooths it out and it can help it from fuzzing up so much. A lot of heat and humidity after a while can do that as well so make sure to comb it softly and to use the whole olive oil kit when needed and as directed.

A. While you are transitioning start using natural proucts. Natural hair performs better and is more manageable when maintained with natural products and I noticed that when transtioning my hair was easier to deal with when I used them as well. Deep condion your hair and do protein treatments every two weeks, every week do a hot oil treatment and massage your scalp. Get a scalp "grease" that does not contain petroleum and mineral oil but has natural oils in it like shea butter to apply to your scalp for growth. Mineral Oil and petroleum clog the pores and can inhibit growth so go as natural as possible. Stay a way from black hair care products in stores as they usually have mineral oil in them.

A. there is no particular reason for a newborn to be born with straight hair. for starters i have a new baby girl that was born with straight hair. I myself am not mixed but not all "African Americans" have whatever you describe as "African American hair, some of us have pretty fine hair. neither is her father mixed. Not to be catty, but i felt like this question was very ignorant. Too many people see Africans as these natty haired individuals, and that is so not how everyone is. Some of us do have nice hair w/o being chemically treated.

A. First things First...does your friend have a press or a perm? With a perm flat-ironing is much easier because you're hair is pretty much straightened already but with a press it's a little more work involved because you have to press your hair first before you flat iron, which means you have to be extra careful not to expose your hair to too much heat and create breakage and dryness. You will need: 1) A Flat Iron 2) Sectioning Clips 3) Spritz (not hairspray or oil-sheen) or Anti-Frizz Product 4) Tail Comb 5) Blow Dryer 1. Wash Hair (optional: While hair is wet you use a frizz control product) 2. Blow dry hair until hair is 100% dry. You are just removing the moisture, so there is no need to straighten your hair at this point. That… [cont.]

A. yes you can wash braids. Try Surge Plus 14, or S Curl or Carefree Gold, or a spray for braids, you can mix it with wildhairgrowth, castor oil (olive oil, tea tree, jojoba) and water. But keep it clean and moisturizer it daily. Some days only do cowash-conditioner. Braids is a good way to gain growth. Keep it mosit. Even bag it sometimes. Use moisturizers first then oil to seal in the mosit. You might get an inch a month with the braids, normally it is half inch.
