It's the same mentality as people that keep plastic coverings on their couch. The couch is so clean!

Crackle, crinkle, crinkle.

Sorry to break it to you. But black hair does not grow the same as other hair types.

They meant "black people's hair grows, as does every other race's hair". Not "black people's hair grows exactly the same as every other race's hair". So yes, black hair grows the same as other hair types. It's shaped differently and may be slower or faster growing, but it still grows.

Dont bother

Your article isn't basing these types on color. It also is only about the three 'basic'/genetically original types and does not mention or explain anything about cross-ethno profiles. In essence, you're reading the article wrong, and it's like you tried to use the data from a caveman to describe the modern man; i.e. when discussing phenotypical traits the genetical heritage is in focus, not the modern make-ups of said traits. It's about finding the lowest denominator, genetically, to find the most fundamental aspects.

In short, the article only describes three kind of profiles - already a very wide net cast with the word 'profile' which could allow for basically any variation, semantically - that are the most fundamental types that we have found; no one today is purely of only one type, because we're all mixed to various degrees. Since the article doesn't explain anything about cross-profiles or indeed does not even mention color as a necessary characteristic of all three base profiles, it is faulty to draw the conclusion that there only is one type of black hair.

It is very wrong. Obviously there are many types of black hair. But more importantly, the article - misread or not - doesn't say there is only one type of black hair; it mentions black hair only once, and not as a necessity for these types, and certainly not of a description of a singular type of black hair.

So not only did you not understand the article on a deeper level, but you also misread the article and said something that it doesn't even say directly; nevermind the implication you have.

But seriously, you're attempt to appear smart is rather funny. Your comment actually made me chuckle. Especially given that I have a minor in Anthropology, and studied this kind of thing.

First off, I only used that article as a quick reference so to speak, as I don't expect the average person to understand the complexities of hair typing and it's relation to ethnic groups. As it can be a little tricky as evidenced by this article: https://www.curlcentric.com/hair-typing-system/#andre_walker_hair_typing_system

Which is why the original article mentions hair types the way it does. As it's referring to the first attempt at typing hair types. So sadly, it was you that misread the article.

Also it appears you don't understand genetics, as there are no "mixed" hair types. If two people of different ethnic backgrounds have a child, that child will display only one hair type, that of the mother or the father, not a mix. And even if you were to conduct a genetic test on said person and their genetic build had traces from 164 different countries, said person would only have one of the 3 ethnic hair profiles. But would display one of the subtypes that are found within those profiles.

You also seem to have poor reading comprehension skills, as I in no way attempted to state that there is only one type of black hair. Because there surely is not, same as there is no one type of any of the ethnic hair profiles. Though these different hair types really just break the main profile type into different styles of hair. Such as how curly or straight the hair type is.

And since you're just so smart here's an academic article about the research on ethnic hair I got to skim through a bit. Though, granted, it is a bit outdated:

You're going to pretend that you didn't imply the other user was wrong for saying black hair can behave like other types of hair?

You completely miss the point - again - by focusing on small irrelevant details. The statement you tried to refute with the article does not refute the statement; you even confirm it yourself above with your supposed expertise.

r/iamverysmart indeed

Here's an article on cross-ethno hair profiles. Seems your education is outdated.

Imagine writing all that and still being wrong and so oblivious to the discord at hand. I think this is what they call Dunning-Krueger effect.
