Why do black girls straighten their hair, while white girls go natural?

And no, I'm not being racist, just asking a question based on my observations.

White girls generally go natural with their hair. Sure, they'll dye it different colors or give it a slight curl or slight straighten once in a while, but they rarely dramarically change it to being like black girls natural hair. Where as black girls usually do dramatically change theirs and straighten it like white girls hair instead of going natural. Sure, some go natural, but most don't.

Why?

Please, if you decide to answer this question with a question, still explain what I asked above. Thankyou.

Because it is more easy to manage and because no offense to anyone but some "whites" are more comfortable with blacks who have straight hair as opposed to course dreaded hair. I do believe that it is a sub conscious bias...but unfortunately we live in a country that is control by others and not by all so often you have to summit to others standards in order to be successful. I'm sure someone will say I'm racist but I dont expect you to understand because I live in my black skin everyday along with my "nappy" hair :) so I know what's going on. I hope that I enlightened you

Why do black girls straighten their hair, while white girls go natural?

I actually haven't noticed that, but if it's true, i think black girls' hair are more unruly and harder to control then white girls' hair. maybe that's why black girls do more stuff with their hair then white girls.

Ok, I see what you mean. BUT, why do white girls tan? Are they trying to be hispanic or black? Why don't they go natural and leave their skin color alone? I think they do it because straight hair is easier to tame. Besides, straight hair looks nicer. NOW, why do white girls tan?(I think you should post this question too huh?)

Why do black girls straighten their hair, while white girls go natural?

Black girls straighten their hair because it's easier to manage. I personally like my hair natural. I was lucky enough to be born with very beautiful curly hair that isn't too tightly curled or thick. I know a whole lot of white girls who straighten their hair. Dyeing your hair is not being natural. Chemicals are used when you dye your hair, so white girls are doing exactly the same thing as black. Women in general try to change their looks.

It's fashion that's all.

Ignoring race, let's look to pop culture -- remember the Brady Bunch when they all got a perm? The guys looked hilarious! Sigh, I guess it was hip at the time.

Fashion will never be understood by a social observer.

Why do black girls straighten their hair, while white girls go natural?

its not a racist question so i don't see why i shouldn't answer it (black girl here)

black women have too much volume and its hard to manage our hair, its thicker than the average white girls hair and more wiry. white women with thin hair use something to add volume but we have to straighten to get rid of some of the volume (no shampoo for us)

Why do black girls straighten their hair, while white girls go natural?

Many white girls get spiral perms and body waves.

I live in Houston and many of the white girls here DO NOT GO NATURAL!

Those with curly hair, flat iron it. Those with straight hair, curl it or get curly perms.

However, I'm sure more white girls than blacks girls go natural, but if your hair was very thick, very curly, and hard to manage with you struggle with it daily, or go get a relaxer to make it more easy to manage?

Why do black girls straighten their hair, while white girls go natural?

because their hair is absolutely disgusting and they know it. they get offended when white people flip their hair up and stuff because their nappy hair wont do it. if you ever saw a black girl with nice hair, it's a good wig, hair extensions, or otherwise completely unnatural.

Because if they let their hair go normal it'd look like a big rats nest.
