Thank you Misty 👏😃

Ah yes, Ally! Many people have super curly hair. Black,white and everything in between!

The article was directed more to an African American grade of hair. A lot of other hair posts cannot be done with this type of hair. No reason for the hate guys.

this is only for black ppl hair 😒

Ally, that is horrible to say. I am a mother is mixed kids 24-9 years old. My husband is black. Do you not think people of all colors read these articles? My hair is crazy curly and some of her tips may help my hair so I read them. There are plenty of black women on this app who read these articles. I don't even know what to say to you but... you are young, try to think before you type. Things like this can come off offensive to others.

Love some of these styles. Could yall please post some style for short/medium length relaxed African American hair?

I love that this website offers tips for all races. At first I thought it was just for white girls and I still liked it a little. Now that I've seen all of the posts directed towards African American women, I love it even more.

No hate Keyanna but you may want to travel the world a little more. African American's are not the only ones with this type of beautiful hair. Do some research before you comment. Look up hair texture of the Spanish culture for one example.

uh ok? I was just being honest && what Keyanna said was tru
