What kind of a hypothetical question is this? The length of ones hair is based upon genetic coding. That coding, received from our parents will determine the length of our hair. Most Black babies are born with a head of hair, while most white babies are born bald-headed. Over the years, most Black women have tried to make their hair straight and the chemicals have broken their hair off. My question for you... was your question based on your visualization of Black people you see today? If so, let me state that a short haircut is preferred than a lot of hair you are unable to style. That is why you see so many white girls wearing their hair in a ponytail pulled back with one of those enormous clips. Black women will instead chose to cut their hair off.

It grows the same. Its just that white people with straight or wavy hair grows out and then down. Black or curly peoples hair curls into spirals instead of out and down so it looks like its hardly growing. If you stretched out curly hair you would see how long it really is.

I think hair grows about the same for Blacks, or Whites. Usually though, blacks hair is real curly so you dont notice as much as a white persons.

Actually, it doesn't. But white people tend to have straighter hair (Asians have the straightest hair of all, as a rule) and an inch of straight hair (about 2 months' growth) LOOKS a lot longer than an inch of very curly hair. It's an illusion!

everbody's hair grows the same, its just that black peoples hair is very weak and breaks off easily. So our hair looks shorter. And asians have the strongest, and there are a lot more asians who have hair that is longer than white people.

White people's hair follicle are straight. Black people's follicle are H or S shape. Our hair does grow but because it's TIGHTLY CURLED, it's quite short looking. I have extremely curly hair and when I press and curl it, my S-shaped follicles changed to straight follicle, so the results is long hair. If black people want their hair to grow, they need vitamin e and oil treatments once a week.

It's all simply a matter of personal preference. I have short hair and guys such as it. And i prefer a person with short hair over a person with long hair because long curly hair tends to make guys look also girly.

My daughter is 0.5 caucasian/0.5 South Indian and that i'm constantly very much greatly surprised how sluggish her hair grows in comparison to mine or different caucasians. Her hair is curly and could pass to her backside whilst moist. She is 5 and has had purely 2 haircuts. She's my DAH - ling!

skin becomes white due to a lack of a pigment called melanine.
this lack also thinks the epidermal layer of skin.
hence hair can grow faster , with less resitance.
black people have a higher melanine presence hence thicker skin.
