The Tightly Curly Hair Site

I'm almost never interested in "beauty" sites, but [livejournal.com profile] haikujaguar highlighted this one which is all about Tightly Curly Hair. My hair looks a lot like the author's hair -- just lighter, with somewhat wider spirals. But long squiggly spirals like that, yes. Last time we checked, it was past the bottom of my butt when wet. Dry it's shorter. I usually keep it braided because otherwise it grabs things all day. But it's nice to let loose the showy curls for special occasions.

In a very basic sense, that could explain it...but think about it in terms of entire ethnic groups and cultures who are viewed as "other" in American society, and how they can be made to feel like the "other" in their own communities.
