If I may add, caucasian people as a whole have always wanted what we have. They have tricked us in to believing that we are inferior...this was one of the reasons for slavery besides economics. Yet we have always been assets for possession purposes~ If we took a close look at what is popular in music(rhythm and blues), fashion(bohemian resurgence), and body types(coke bottle shapes)...it'd be clear to see who they are aiming towards(tanning spa's, botox, full hair). Please don't allow their voiced negative opinions and actions since the beginning of civilization cloud your vision. We are kings and queens, they know it and have been trying to pull the wool over our eyes~ kcurly, thank you for your beautiful information, i was searching for hair cuts as my hair is boring me since going natural in july '06, now I'm simply going to wear it blown out for awhile and simply have my ends trimmed!!!! I love me and my hair... now if only this blond would go away!!! * Nappy Since…brought up a great point.

Seen several now. As for caucasians with "wooly hair", even the egyptians mentioned them. I found the mention in an 1800's book on Egyptology. You should see my cousin's hair, (now she's half irish/celtic and half german jewish). The hair comes from the german jewish side. Very curly and wild if not ironed. We once were questioned coming back from Mexico, because it was so different from my aunt's and my fine, lank, hair. I just saw an opera piece and wanted to see what a circassian looked like.
