Now I swear, I had a black woman tell me her hair was stronger, fuller, and less oily than a white woman's hair.

She even called over one of her friends to prove it by asking her the same questions, and her black friend confirmed that a Black woman's hair is different than a white woman's hair.

The main difference is the oils in the hair. Black women do not have to wash their hair as often, and can go as long as 3 weeks without washing their hair.

How any of this is related, I am not sure, why this difference might be considered a reason to charge more, but, Ill let the hairdressers refute the claim.

Unless it is outright racism of course...

My office mate, who is black and I, fish belly white, discuss our hair all the time. Mine is very short and fine -- takes 10 minutes to get it cut.

On the other hand, her hair takes special care so it doesn't break off. When she goes to have her hair done, it takes around 3 hours. She does protein packs, double conditioning, and other stuff. Looks really great when she has it done, but I don't think I could ever sit for 3 hours to do all that!
