Meaning
A loaded, colourism-rooted term for hair that is straighter, looser-curled, or softer in texture — historically prized and called 'nice' or 'good' hair, in unfair contrast to 'tough' or 'picky-picky' hair. Documented here for understanding: the phrase reflects a painful legacy of colourism and hair-texture prejudice, which the natural-hair movement has challenged by affirming that all hair textures are good.
