I'm considered a black woman, but I have NATURAL alburn/red hair....what's up with that?

Question

This includes my hair on my arms....sandy color with very few dark black hairs on them....and alburn hair EVERYWHERE !!!! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? HOW CAN THIS BE A BLACK WOMAN WITH RED HAIR???

Answer 1

If one or both of your parents are black this makes you black or of mixed heritage nothibg to do with the colour of your hair sister! Look at michael jackson his skin is white but he still a black man!

Answer 2

Tyra Banks has red hair, I don't know if its natural. I heard Malcom X had red hair as well. I think Redd Foxx also was a redhead. There are a number of black people with red hair. I happen to find it very attractive, I guess it reminds me of Tyra, real or not real it looks good on her. So make the best of it and love your red hair. Just look at the number of women out there that tint their holor some sort of red shade.

Answer 3

that's appropriate for black females to placed on their organic hair. the element is, they might desire to make it look properly groomed. that's hard with curly hair particularly circumstances, fairly while it fairly is fairly healthful. Mine seems to be much less controllable once I've only gotten a trim and verify out new hair products. it fairly is like it has a lot of power and existence to it. i'm no longer complaining...i'm happy I fairly have a thick, healthful mane. it fairly is only I could do greater to offer that great neat visual charm reason it fairly is unpredictable like mom nature.

Answer 4

American black folks come in all different combinations of colors and textures. My sister has green eyes. Several of my cousins have bright red or even sandy blond hair. And these are all people with two black parents. Apparently, Massa was really busy messing around down in the slave quarters back during slavery.

Answer 5

I was told this is from caucasion genes from slavery days. I don't know your ancestory, But the slave owners were cruel, heartless people. some of them took advantage of young ladies at very young ages. Don't worry about it, I think that when a black woman dyes her hair red it's attractive. So be a proud black woman with auburn hair!!!

Answer 6

It could be from your ancestors. That's cute though. Do you not like you red hair? I'm black as well although I'm light skinned my hair is almost blond everywhere. A lot of people don't believe me when I say I have not died my hair. But its true. Sometimes things are funny like that.

Answer 7

Technically black people don't have true black hair- it's dark brown. Only two cultures have true black- Asian and Native American, and they are blue based black. The basic pigmentation in most black or dark brown hair is red, hence the red coloring you see.

Answer 8

Remember just because you're "Black" doesn't mean that you're going to have dark hair & dark eyes... Over the years.. all races have come together, and we are the product of that... I dated a "black" guy, and he was just a bit darker than me (I'm tanned skin and hispanic) and he has green eyes... I later learned that his light features came from his slave master many years ago. His family has a track of that...

Answer 9

I'd love to anwser you question but it would incite too much controversy. You are a sexy beautiful woman regardless of where the hair came from. Don't dig up the past to satisfy the future. Just know that you are beautiful and that's all that counts.

Answer 10

Funny...Sis, I am an African-American woman with red hair. We (people) always judge ourselves the hardest and doubt what we think doesn't fit in. I have a sis from Africa...very dark skinned..green eyes NATURALLY. I know another sis-friend with blonde hair...both parents are African-American. You pulled it from somewhere in your history and God saw fit to bless you with a piece of your past. Don't take it for granted or use it to question your heritage. Whomever gave it to you, it's a piece of who you are, your own unique genetic puzzle....
