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.
