Does having thick straight hair have anything to do with your race?

I'm a Mexican mestizo, I have thick straight black hair. I have family members with wavy, curly, and straight hair. But most of them have straight hair. Most of my family members have Spanish looking facial features. Does having thick straight black hair show my native american ancestry? Are there caucasian people with my type of hair, besides it being black? Thanks for taking the time to read this, its just a random curiosity I have.

My husband is Mexican he has very straight hair. His twin brother has curly wavy hair. They have some Irish ancestry so I am unsure about that part of your question. But, yes Caucasian people also have thick straight hair, and curly, everyone is different!

Many middle eastern people have straight black hair.

So do some Irish. And some Dutch.

Does having thick straight hair have anything to do with your race?

No, curly and straight hair have nothing to do with your race--I'm Norwegian and english and I have a sister with thick curly lock and mine is as straight and flat as angel hair pasta. Curly hair I believe is a dominant trait in genetics.

If your mother has dominant curly hair, but also carries the trait for recessive straight hair, and your father carries 2 recessive traits for straight hair then as a possibility, you could end up with straight or curly hair--it all depends on what traits are passed on down the genetic line. This means you have a 50% chance of ending up with curly hair and a 50% chance of getting straight hair--it's all dependent on chance and what traits are expressed by your parents and extended family. Just go look up genetics punnet squares on the net if you want to know more. But that's basically how it works. As far as other features like nose shape, I'm not sure. But that's how it works for eye color, and hair type, color.

"Race" is an artificial construct. I do not consider it to be a scientific fact, I don't even consider it to be a "convenience" because of all the inconveniences it fosters.

I went to school with several girls who had coarse straight blonde hair. Their faces were broad, their noses were narrow, which I consider to have nothing to do with anything.

It's difficult to most people to attempt to sort out various Native American groups when comparing to Asian groups without benefit of clothing and actual hairstyle as cultural clues. Japanese spies hid with Eskimo in WWII.

Me, I wouldn't presume the hair or "Spanish-looking facial features" to tell tales. Many Native American groups from further north %26amp; east have narrower faces, etc.

An incomplete bite in fruit or whatever might show the presence of "shovel-shaped incisors", characteristic of Native American and Asian ancestry. I had a dentist comment on my teeth at an initial examination. LOL! There was some 'splaining to be done when I got myself home, not me, my parents. :-)

BTW, there's a tradition that it's "good luck" for the first person to cross a family's threshold to have brown or black eyes and be bearing food. I've head it called "first footing".

Well, certain backgrounds generally have certain features. Very thick straight dark blond for me. But I have no clue what of my heritage it comes from. I'm half convinced that dark blond is "mutt" color. lol
