Please educate me? What problems are they facing? Is it a genetic issue, or a cultural one?
Cultural and an excuses...
Many black women have perms and weaves---they don't want to sweat out the perm or weave. or have their hair looking all "Gawd DAMN, WHAT THE HELL".
To me, it also goes back to the natural issue. And some gyms like Planet
Fraudness Fitness, don't allow scarves or headgear.
I know my college gym didn't allow hats or du-rags.
So, the question for many is to go, natty or chance it and sweat their perm/weave out...
There was a scene in Boondocks that talk about why black women who run seem crazy or are single---it was concluded the chemicals in their hair that seeped into their brain making them crazy.
