African-American hair or Black hair refers to hair types, textures, and styles that are linked to African-American culture, often drawing inspiration from African hair culture. It plays a major role in the identity and politics of Black culture in the United States and across the diaspora.[1] African-American hair often has a kinky hairy texture, appearing tightly coiled and packed.[2] Black hair has a complex history, culture, and cultural impact, including its relationship with racism.[1]
