I believe hair can show heritage to an extent. I mean think about it, a lot of west africans tend to have cloudlike hair in appearance, versus a lot of African Americans who tend to have more visible curls, I'm not saying this is fact, but this is from my observation. I'm not saying African Americans can't have have cloudlike hair and I'm not saying vice versa, just my observations. And by African Americans, I mean people who's family hair been here since the slave trade.
