What is nappy hair? i only just heard of the term....?

Answer 1

Nappy hair is generally what an African-American's hair is called if it isn't pressed or chemically straightened.  Couldn't say how the name started, though.  It can also be used to describe any hair that's extremely curly, frizzyor tangled.  

Answer 2

Nappy Hair......nappy hair depending on who is saying it refers to very course very curly hair.

Answer 3

the term "nappy" describes a hair that is short and tightly coiled.

I don't like the way it is used...

Answer 4
