Why is black peoples hair different and difficult?
<|assistant|>
The hair of Black people is different and harder to manage than other types of hair, largely due to the lack of lanolin and other oils in their hair. Lanolin and other oils help moisturize and protect the hair, but due to genetic factors Black people have fewer of these oils in their hair, which makes it more likely to become dry, brittle and difficult to manage. In addition, the shape of the melanin molecules in their hair gives it a tighter, stronger curl which is more difficult to smooth and style. The texture of Black hair also tends to become thicker and coarser as they age, making it difficult to manage without proper treatment.
