No one mentioned superior, but the fact that people are getting up in arms about this kind of shows for itself. Neith even said below that "its not like black people have a defective hair gene". This would imply that there is some sort of deepset feeling that a slower rate=defective. I mean, most of my friends have faster growth rates than even most white girls I've known, and does anyone think THEIR hair is defective?
I am agreeing that diet is a factor, however I do not agree with you, and I think it does have to do with race, and the type of hair they have. As I have said a lot of the super-americanized asians I know do not even eat the traditional "healthy" diet, and yet from what I have seen the growth rate remains the same. Now it could be maybe most of my asian friends are "special" and have supergrowthrates that are not indicative of their entire race (or maybe they hide behind the apt at night and stuff their face with chorella/sushi/greentea or whatever it is thats primarly responsible for it

, and I have lived with 3 of them at one time)
This is what I have seen. Sure not every asian girl has an amazing growth rate, but I can only base my assumptions on what I have seen and experienced. I do not feel that my hair or my confidence as a black person suffers or whatever if I admit that some other races have an easier time of it growing hair. *shrugs* this is just my opinion though, i'm not really trying to convince anybody. In my eyes the proof is always in the pudding.
In the end, it is possible that I am completely and totally wrong, I'll admit, I'm not a scientist
Probably we do grow equal and its all just a retention problem, they retain all and we don't retain as much with little effort. Either way, I doubt it really reassures anybody that their hair grows the same rate as everyone else if they're forced to keep it in a bun all the time to keep said growth. (not knockin PS, I love them too, but Im just sayin'
) Same diff to me.
there are a number of threads on that whole 'sebrum doesn't reach the end of the hair shaft' theory. It could be that that is not true either, but otherwise I don't really see why we would need to use oils. Maybe someone more knowledgable can clarify.
