Kinky hair

Uncommon card · No. 119191

Kinky hair (also known as coily hair, afro-textured hair, tightly coiled hair, afro-hair or natural afro-hair) is a human hair texture prevalent in the Indigenous peoples of Sub-Saharan Africa, Melanesia, Micronesia, Torres Strait Islands, and Tasmania, along with the Negrito populations of Southeast Asia and the Andaman Islands. Each strand of this hair type grows in a repeating pattern of small contiguous kinks which can be classified as tight twists and sharp folds. These numerous kinks make kinky hair appear denser than straight, wavy, and curly hair types.
