where does wavy and curly hair come from?

[Antimage]

is it natural for white people to have wavy and curly hair? or is it a sign of black admixture? i have seen german people with curly hair... but not russians and scandinavians.

[finþaų]

There are Scandinavians and Russians with curly hair. Normally no single characteristic such as "curly hair", "vertically narrow eyes", or "long legs" belongs exclusively to one particular race.

[Vasconcelos]

As far as I know it's an old CM trait and has absolutely nothing to do with "black admixture". For instance there are many Irish people with curly hair, and they are amongst the northernmost europeans geneticswise.

east asians and native americans always have straight hair. I noticed that in europe wavy and curly hair is more common among "woggy" people.

i am east asian and i have naturally wavy hair

[щрбл]

I'm under the impression that it's more of a male feature rather than anything else, at least from my personal experience.

In my family, every single female has long straight hair while males have it more or less wavy.

Nope.

There is no direct correlation of curly hair and having SSA/'black' admixture. One quick example; many (Irish and German) Brunns have it. And Brunn is a CM variant.

how common is wavy hair among east asians? it must be very rare cuz every chinese i see have straight hair

yes very very rare

most of my female schoolmates have straight hair, and i'm always the only one have naturally wavy hair

I'm sure that there is a correlation given how most "black" people have frizzy hair that appears to yield looser curls when mixed with straight-haired types. The fact that such a hair texture is predominant amongst Negroids doesn't necessarily (or even probably) mean that it is exclusive to them, though.

Let's compare with this the phenomenon of blondism. Typically associated with (North) Europeans but also fairly common amongst Melanesian Australoids. A given blond person--no other variables known--is statistically likely to be of European ancestry, but is not necessarily so at all.

But what I am trying to say is that many European 'white'/Caucasian people have curly hair and have no appreciable levels of black admix.

Yeah, that is correct.

[Vasconcelos]

Just because Africans have curly hair, doesn't mean curly hair is an "african trait". This is a logical fallacy.

[Antimage]

do blacks ever have straight hair? (i mean real 100% blacks not mulattos)

[Gaston]

Curly hair doesn't even exist in SSA people with no significant Eurasian ancestry. And the curls of mulattos are different from actual curly hair.


In Europe, the most common type of hair is wavy. Then you have straight and curly (and frizzy to a lesser extent, especially with humidity).

[Longbowman]

Our heads.

[Leto]

As far as the Afro hair is concerned, it seems to be pretty much a dominant trait. Look at this quadroon boy

Hair texture is not a mendelian attribute and this boy's golden curls are European, not Afro-textured.

Don't let me say he's white, I'm hated here for such statements. By both whites and non-whites.:D

He's 75% Euro and looks 90%.

Well, I've not proclaimed him white yet.:) Actually, I don't know if the man is indeed 50% African. Maybe less. But the boy has turned out quite light. Dark blond hair, green eyes, light skin.

I'm giving him the Longbowman seal of whiteness. And that's a seal from a liberal Englishman with a lot of AJ blood. It's gold.

Maybe I'll use this as my signature.

[Catkin]

My hair has varied from straight as a child, to very curly/frizzy in my teens, to wavy now. I'm all British Isles and maybe 1/64 German. I still have a few random wiry black hairs that grow near the top of my head- I was expecting some SSA in my 23andme results because of them, but I didn't score any. I'm not familiar enough with Afro-textured hair to know whether that's different- possibly it is. I remember Robert saying he had the same curly hairs, so maybe it is just something that can occur in the British Isles.

I give you using this as your signature my seal of approval.

[Unome]

Afrikans have kinky fro hair.
Mongolids have straight hair.
Europids have wavy hair.

Curliness is an intermediary indicator.

[Han Cholo]

I have thick shinny wavy hair. Mostly West Euro/Native American mixed here.

a lot of white people have straight hair.

[Teja]

Wavy hair is the most common hair type here in Germany. Thats why most woman use hair straightener to make the hair straight.

[Unome]

It comes from Northern Euro Scandinavian Siberian mong admixture or Eastern Euro (black hair) Hun mong admixture

[Aodhan]

Greeks have wavy/curly hair

[Gaston]

No, "nappy" hair is the norm in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, some very negroid-looking Sahelians with North African ancestry end up having straight hair. Still mixed though.

from Jews

[Duke]

here is how it is..

-Staright hair is thick hair follicle, shaped almost perfect round, evolved in cold conditions as thick hair was needed to keep head worm, its primarily mong trait, because early mongs lived in siberia and evolved in cold contitions.

-Frizzy hair is flat hair follicle, it developed in extreme heat and sun conditions, as hair frizzes up, it crates shade for top of the head to protect brain from sun, its primary SSA trait, who evolved in Africa sun.

-Wavy to curly hair is ellipsoid hair follicle, evolved in temperate conditions, where there are big differences between seasons, it needed to be thicker for winter seasons, and still have some volume for summer seasons, Primarily Caucasoid trait, who evolved in temperate climate


Thats my take on it
