Meaning ❉ Ethnobiology of Hair observes the living connections between people, their heritage, and the biological attributes of hair. This field particularly addresses textured hair, including Black and mixed-race hair types, by studying how cultural practices, historical influences, and environmental factors shape hair understanding. It provides insight into the distinct growth patterns and unique care needs of these hair textures, moving past common assumptions. Such knowledge supports the development of predictable hair care systems, similar to well-ordered routines, where principles guide consistent outcomes. Applying these insights allows for practical implementation of effective strategies, leading to sustained hair wellness.
