Oh no you did not.
What I am serious I feel to get an accurate answer the woman of that age range would give the best answer.
@CHIli's baby hair: it gets on my nerves! I'm sorry, I just don't like that gelled down baby hair look. By fake do people mean she cut regular hair to make it look like baby hair? That's a bit much IMO. That last, ponytail pic isn't bad because it looks soft and natural, but that 3rd pic and Ginuwine's - just say no

In hair purgatory
Around here it mainly is used to describe the combo of texture,curl pattern, length and/or thickness (in that order).
One can have short silky hair that is considered good hair or they can have long thick kinky hair that is considered "good hair" too but its not as "good" as the first example.
So silky hair is always considered good as well as looser curls. Cottony and spongy hair is only good if the curl is loose,the hair is long and thick. Tight curls (to the point where the hair is usually not silky)are good if they are long and thick.short hair is good if the texture is loose and/or silky.
I hope this makes sense

i dont think its one basic definition to the term good hair i have heard it used on so many different occasions ie:
super straight hair without split ends = good hair
curly hair - good hair
shiny hair= good hair
jet black-ish looking hair =good hair
long permed hair=good hair
long natural hair = good hair
non gray hair in older women=good hair
a little girl with more then 5inches of hair=good hair
short hair styles with the sides slicked down=good hair
so i just think it means nice hair, hair that someone admires at the moment
i use to get my hair braided by this lady and because she didnt have to cut my ends after she braided it she would say you got good hair it just loves to be braided

In the days of slavery and recovery, half of your definitions would be considered incorrect.
During those days good hair meant it could be combed with a small comb easily no snags.
If you did not have hair that could use a small comb you couldn't get into certain black colleges nor could you go to certain churches. You also were more garaunteed to be sold to New Orleans to be some mans wife. You would also be a house slave. However if this happened you were treated like crap by the wife because she know you were the child of a slave or you are getting it in with her husband.
They were the first upper echelon considered elitist.
Only 1a-3a (by our definitions) were allowed

Oh no....I guess I don't got that good hair cuz I just broke by wide tooth comb trying to comb through my hair. Really!
Girl I said during that time, keep up please.
You have curls and waves that are visible at night under street lights so you have that guudd huurr.

... That is a bang. How can baby hair be that long?!
I like how the title is Chinese Lace, don't wigs use Indian hair? Or is it Malaysian now?
This comment killed me:
"Not bad at all but the baby hairs need trimming and you can add nair to them for a flimsy realistic look. Give it on for no more than 2 minutes and bam realistic baby hairs. Hows the shedding?"
^ Like are you serious? All that for a wig? Ateya already curls, trims, straightens, and adds wigs on top of weaves. I love mah girl but don't give her more ideas with the Nair...

As serious as a heart attack. A friend of mine was told to use a razor to the hairs on the lace front to make it look more realistic and make some baby hair.

Actually when you buy lace wigs they give the option of "baby hairs".. It's an add on, so she probably was not wrong in calling it that if that's what she ordered. This is a picture they give for reference when ordering baby hair
