CoG - I am interested in what you wrote. I must have missed something. Why would your posts be deleted? Aren't we just discussing hair? I admit to not knowing much about ethnic hair and I would like to even if it's just so I can be more understanding of those with different problems/concerns.

I used to have a friend here in Lancaster, PA who grew up in Philly. She happened to be AA. Unfortunately she passed away many years ago. She was very stylish and so much fun, always trying to teach her new friends in this town about some real style

Of course most of us were Caucasian and so "plain jane" compared to her!! I felt bad for her because she said she couldn't even get her hair cut around here back then because nobody locally knew how to take care of black hair. She would make a trip to Philly for that and to get her nails done. She had the most beautiful nails too!!

We are all different and I think it's good to have discussions about our differences and similarities. How can we learn if we never talk about things?

I have to ask. What is the kitchen?

It has a dual meaning for African American hair, referring to both a ritual involving a hot comb and the hair at the nape of the neck. Here's a really good explanation from a writer on NaturallyCurly.com.
