Why would you consider that pathetic and degrading? That's probably the least offensive term I've come across. We are BLACK people with curly/coily textured hair. Most people see ''our'' type of hair on black people, so rightly so they call it black people's hair. If you saw a white person (blue eyed) with natural 4a hair, you would immediately think they have some sort of black in them right? That's because that's black people's hair

Back to the topic - I find ''hard'' hair offensive. My hair is actually quite SOFT - it just sometimes looks hard!

 

[Gracie]

"***** hair"

"Nappy"

"Bad hair"

 

[Sheriberi]

Moody grass.

I've heard some elderly folks say this. Apparently its some kind of invasive weed.

 

[Seraphina]

This probably isn't really what you were asking, but I get annoyed when white people proclaim, "You're hair's so cool."

 

[JJamiah]

Knots and B B shot's

Moody grass looks like this. Mine has on the rare occasion of illness. LOL

 

[melissa-bee]

It really depends how they say it.
Like the other day I sent my friend a picture of my newly dyed jet black hair.
She was responds with "your hair looks really afro".
It didn't offend me because she is innocently ignorant when it comes to hair but if I didn't understand that it would have been offended.
I just though my hair is "really afro" because I have afro type hair

 

[la mosca]

This is an issue fraught with peril -- one person's go-to word ("nappy," "kinky," etc.) may be offensive to another. Although some words and phrases are obviously insulting, others are offensive only when used in a certain way or with a certain intent.

With that said, I don't like the phrase, "tough hair" to describe coily/cottony hair. Actually, such hair tends to be more delicate than straighter hair -- not "tougher." I mean really, the hair is in no way tough (like a cheap cut of meat or like a member of Hell's Angels )
