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. The Spanish and Portuguese began transporting slaves to South America in the 16th century. The english began transporting slaves into their colonies in the 17th century. There were free black people in the early colonies as well as slaves. A woman called Mary Johnson may have been the first African-american. She arrived in Virginia some time before 1620 as the maid of a Virginia planter.

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.]

How do you make african american hair grow and how do you care for it?
Q. I am a fifteen year old african american and I use to have this really pretty long hair. Then I began to wear hair weaves and my hair began to get shorter and unhealthy. If I continue to wear hair weaves but get a sew in instead of glue will that help me get my hair back? Also what is good hair care products for woman of color?
Asked by Raquel H - Mon Jan 12 21:34:34 2009 - - 3 Answers - 4 Comments
A. There is no product that can make hair grow faster. Hair follicles are cells that push out protein (which is your hair). That process can't be sped up. However, by eating a healthy diet and gently messaging your scalp when you wash our hair, you'll give your cells the best chance to remain healthy and pump out that protein!

A. ok this sounds really weird but put lots of olive oil in your hair then put a shower cap of it for about 15 minutes. it will keep the heat in and then make sure you wash it out really really good. the oil helps calm down your hair a bit aswell as making it softer and shinier. it also prevents dry hair and split ends. my mum suggested this to an african women we knew and her hair became a bit more managable. the more thick your hair is the more oil you will have to put in. hope this helps :)

A. I'm not a professional hair-stylist but I really like the "Organic Root stimulator olive oil No-Lye relaxer system" or the "Dark & Lovely No-Lye Conditioning relaxing system". You can't go wrong with those (in my opinion). I had that same problem with the crown of my head. If you keep your hair moisturized and keep your ends clips, Your hair will grow fast. Also stay clear of hairstyles that put stress on that particular spot. Wrapping is cool though. ummm I guess thats it. oh yeah hooded dryers are definently better than blow dryers. For me Ive actually started letting my hair air dry. I would wrap it with a mousse and go to sleep and the next morning it would be dry. Thats only if you have the time. Hooded dryers are the next best thing. [cont.]

A. A relaxer might be too strong for your hair, even a mild one. Our hair is usually thick so it takes more heat than other hair types to straighten (flat iron for example) and curl it (curling iron). It also takes a stronger chemical to permanently straighten it because of its thickness. This is compared to other hair types (caucasians/asian/hispani c, etc). I think a relaxer (a permanent chemical hair straightener) will ruin your hair and possibly make it fall out if it's too strong. It can make our hair fall out if it's not applied correctly. Even though it's very thick hair it's also the weakest of any hair type and can easily break off.

In my experience, the question-writer is looking for names of laws that were passed, followed by a brief statement on their significance, vs a general sort of answer. This might be faster than waiting for a history buff to notice your question.

Q. Okay, I have average african american hair, but I wash and straighten it often so its not that bad. The only thing i cant stand is the my hair doesnt move like, i could stand it straight up and it would barely move after i let go. I would get a relaxer but I want my hair to be longer so I want to grow it out a little first. I would be estatic if anyone could give me advice to make my hair move, or give me great products that will actually make my hair alot more managable without a relaxer. Thank you :]

I need a poem (preferrably African American) to which I can perform a lyrical dance for a college pageant?
Q. I am going to be competing in a pageant at my university this year. I am vying for the position of my university's queen. Part of the pageant is a talent portion, and I would like to perform a poem and lyrical dance, if possible. Can anyone recommend an African American poem (preferrably) that would be great with a lyrical dance? Thanks.

A. I recommend the poetry of Langston Hughes. You can actually hear some of it read on an album on Naxos called "Dreamer". "Black Pierrot" is one of my favorites, but they are all excellent poems.

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.]

Q. I am African American,my hair is healthy,& I just got a trim. What are some tips to grow my Hair? I am getting braids I am getting braids, and I was wondering if your able to wash braids

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.
