Title: Hair Background?
Post by brunette85 on Oct 7th, 2009 at 12:52am
I was wondering, for the multicultural heads of hair, what your nationalities are, what makes us so diverse with our hair? I am Italian, Irish, German, French, American Indian, Dutch, English, and Indian (from India). No wonder my hair has such personality, lol.

I'm Chinese, Norweigan and German.
I don't know too much about the Chinese side, but I know that the family lived in Shanghai for a while. Not sure if that qualifies as northern or southern China, since by the map it looks smack dab in the middle.

With roots in this country, for centuries back to slavery, I can't be certain as to all that I am mixed with.  African and English for certain, but anything else, I don't know.  My great grandfathers both had offspring with white women, I'm just not sure what part of Europe they were from.  But that's the typical story of all black people in the USA.  Which is why I hate calling myself African American because We're no longer "pure" Africans.  Africans don't even see us as thier own but as Black (or sometimes white) Americans.

Anyway, my hair is 4a, chemically relaxed and hennaed.  My grandfathers had more of a type 3 c hair.  My maternal mother had the same type of hair.  My paternal grandmother looked "pure" African and had a hair texture that I'm assuming would be similar to mine.

Mostly Scottish/English, but I have a great-great-(something) grandfather (Civil War era) on my mom's side who was Spanish.

I'm german/ukranian. That's probably where the wild blonde waves come from.

Black Irish on my mom's side and Polish from my dad. There's a little Cherokee mixed in there somewhere. That's all I'm aware of.
