HOW TO CUT NAPPY HAIR

WHAT IS NAPPY HAIR?

How to cut nappy hair. Nappy hair is a term that is associated with the hair texture of African Americans. Black people have naturally curly hair. Tightly twined and somewhat coarse hair. When wore in the natural state it can be very stunningly beautiful. Unfortunately the word nappy has been used by some people in a negative disparaging way to describe African Americans.

This has had a lasting negative affect on some black people who see their natural beautifully kinky hair as unattractive. Some choose to chemically straighten, wear a wig to cover, or outright shave it all off.

In the 17th century uncouth individuals who held the position of slave traders used the word NAPPY to describe people of African decent.

It must be noted that some black people choose to straighten, wear a wig covering or shave their hair NOT from any negative influences, but simply as a personal beauty choice.
