Their hair is nappy
Nappy is a word that has been rebranded and spun into something positive in recent years; however, there are still many who continue to use it in a derogatory way.
“Who has access to your child? What’s grandma saying? What’s auntie saying? Are they calling this child nappy-headed? Are they saying they can’t manage her hair?” Dr. Donna Oriowo questioned during an interview with MadameNoire last year. “It’s also about making sure that the people who are closest are checking themselves or that you are checking them when they need to be checked.”
