My wives and all my female relatives have that type of hair. I have straight/soft curly wavy hair.

Why does her title say african and only include nappy Madow hair. When in fact almost 30% of Africans dont have that type of hair. Plus all her pics include AA or mixed chicks. Why not show pics of zulu or gambella or Namibian or pure negros???I actually disagree. Black women are embracing their hair in an unaltered state. Evidenced by the booming natural hair care industry. They are shelling out more money to keep their hair natural than they did before. I think thats a good thing for those interested in having a share of the market.
People irrespective of their hair texture should embrace what was given to them, be it limp and wavy or thick and coarse with all the gradients in between.
It's true that afro-textured hair is looked at unfavourably among Somalis as the most coiled hair of an Ethnic Somali is 4a, and most fall in the 3s and some in the 2s.
Nonetheless, the texture appreciation is warranted. As type 4 hair doesn't get much showcasing. It's less common (globally), more fragile and takes more time to take care of.
And is in some cases perceived as threatening by some. This goes against the recommendation people have for these girls to wear their hair as it was intended. Almost seems like gas lighting.

My sister has that sort of texture, I have the curliest hair in my family.
That is the average hair type within Somalis, sis. I’ve paid great attention to it. 
embrace those beautiful curls. White people are always curling their hair. At least we have it easy and got it naturally.
@Suldaanka MashaAllah, but your beard must be of a different texture. More coarse and rough, innit?

That’s an interesting perspective sis. I swear you’re one of the smarter people on this forum.I actually disagree. Black women are embracing their hair in an unaltered state.

It’s true though, Somalis even hate their curly type 3 hair. I have that type of hair, and my mom used to call my hair Madow and perm it all the time. She never saw it as good as my sibling’s wavy hair and when she sees my hair not tied back she’ll make fun of it.
It’s all deeply rooted in anti-blackness. You can see many people here gaslighting my thread that’s appreciating the curly and kinky hair that Somalis possess. The self hate is real.
My beard is not as soft as my hair. But its beautiful curls not like Madows.That is the average hair type within Somalis, sis. I’ve paid great attention it.

Nigerians/West Africans have more reasons to be proud of their nation(s) than you for your nation.
All of God's creation is beautiful warya.

the words are both ultimately of Latin origin
their cities where built by Portuguese not mines
