There is this african-american girl in my school who has straight hair and it looks like it belongs to a white girl (not meaning to be racial) hair. And trust me it's not a perm...I out of all people should know if people have perms....anyway she has medium brown skin like mine so I know she is not mixed..........I asked my mom and she said tht she might have Eyptian descent or something...
What race or black descent could she be?

I'm a white girl, but I have some knowledge about black girls hair from my cousins (not blood). It's more than likely not because it doesn't grow, it's probably breaking off because the texture of hair. I think this is why they have to use lots of deep conditioning, leave in conditioners, oils, etc just to keep it from breaking off. When hair is really dry or damaged, it will break off it will "appear" like it isn't growing. I'd say use deep conditioning, little to no chemicals (perms/relaxing), and heat styling. Heat and chemicals will make textured hair even worse, so stick to natural hairstyles and products.

She could be a caribbean. My fiancees family heritage is cooley jamaican (indian) and they have really straight hair. I know also that Jamaica has chinese jamaicans that are black but look otherwise. A lot of the caribbean islands have blacks that have straight or really curly hair. It's not unusual for us. My mother's side of the family are also black indians with straight hair.
Some where down your friends family line there might have been a mixing. It is very possible that two black people with straight hair can make a baby with straight hair, again perhaps somewhere down the line maybe a great grandparent or something passed on the genes and by producing with someone similar it could happen.
By the way there are white people who produce children with kinky or thick hair also.

Extensions or a weave.
Maybe you are mixed.
I recently got my DNA tested and I am 5% sub sahara african.
Egyptian is a nationality. But Egypt is North African. North Africans are mixed with euro and african genetics. Portugal, Italy, Greece, Tunisia, Libya, Sudan, Morroco, Algeria was a French colony too.
I love this diaspora of humanity in all the mixtures that a free society permits. Beautiful babies to come. Halle Berry and her blonde blue eyed choice for a father the Canadian hunk of a model. That is why the finest looking women in the world are Brazilian, Israeli,French. Mixed stock.
Does this chick carry it off?

She might be mixed with something other than Caucasian heritage. I had a friend in law school who was mixed African-American and Native American, and her hair was very straight, but her skin was medium brown.

Many Hispanic dark skin individuals have hair like u explain and so do african americans of mixed genes, it is not any particular race.

Who cares except you? So the girl has good hair. With the history of African-American, is there such a thing as not being "mixed"...in America, can you be American and not be "mixed" with something...maybe Scotch, or Bourbon.

She's probably French Creole or has Indian descent or just takes good care of her hair.. Black ppl can have good hair if they want to..

Sometimes genetics just match up so that you get a trait that isn't usual for your race (I'm Asian and I'm five foot seven). She might have an Arabian race, but does it really matter that much?

If you really wanna know, Why dont you just ask her?... be nice, not in a judgemental kind of way just say, hey I noticed your hair... tell her you like it (only if it's sincere)... and ask her where she's from... or where her family is from.....
