Caucasian hair is called straight hair or wavy hair.
East Asian hair is considered to be very straight and African hair is used to describe coily, kinky or curly hair.
Caucasian hair can be a myriad of colors naturally, from light blonde through to bright red and even through to black, until it too greys with age.
It is usually straight or wavy, although curls can be quite common too.
Structurally, it has an oval cross section.
Human hair is generally categorized into three major groups according to ethnic origins, ie, Asian, African, and Caucasian.
Caucasian, Asian and Indian hair samples were put to the test for the World's Best Hair study.
Their results put an end to any splitting of hairs over the issue: in terms of health, the Indian hair is the best, topping other ethnic groups on all four counts.
Caucasian hair usually appears thicker since it is more difficult to see through the scalp than other ethnic hair types.
However, Asian hair is the thickest and coarsest hair of any ethnic group.
Kinky hair, also known as afro-textured hair, is a human hair texture prevalent in the indigenous populations of many regions with hot climates, mainly sub-Saharan Africa, and some areas of Melanesia, and Australia.
