Why does combing Black people’s hair hurt?

[LinkxPeach]

Usually, when a Black person combs, or picks their hair. It hurts to comb, or pick it.

That's because Black people's hair are usually more sturdy and are more prone to getting tangled. Brushing hurts when it's on tangled hair. It's like pulling hair from your skull which is obviously painful.

I’m assuming because its more textured and more prone to tangles/knots

It's due to lack of nutrition and not understanding how to condition it. Part of it is programming too.

Because the chemicals in fried chicken and watermelon clog the hair ducts.
