[edit] Consensus?
The edit summary for this new page claimed that this page was created after a consensus decision. Could someone link me to this consensus?--HubHikari 18:05, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Western popular culture section
Interesting topic, but this section needs sources and some discussion of other attitudes to black hair. What about Snow White, for instance? See [1]. Or the 'tall, dark and handsome' cliché hero? --HJMG 16:15, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Japanese Schools
The part about Japanese schools forcing students with naturally different-colored hair to dye their hair black sounds suspicious. There are plenty of Japanese with naturally brown or red hair, and I find it hard to believe that schools force them to dye it black. What, do they get suspended if the go too long between dye-jobs and their light roots start to show?
Since it's unsourced and uncited, I'm going to remove it until someone has more info. Roland Deschain 14:00, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
- Eh? I thought "my hair's naturally brown" was just an excuse students used in order to get away with dyed hair. --Kjoonlee 02:31, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Well, im Chinese, and when i was young im have like natural chestnut brown hair with like a little red or blond streal, according to my mom. When i was young i have teacher asked me if my dyed my hair and kids pick different colour in my hair. then when i get older my hair do turn darker yet i still have like highlight and blond hair and so on, i am not sure if that is the case. --MeowKun | Meowi Talk 02:21, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- My fiancee is Japanese and her sister has naturally red hair. It's not red the way someone from my (Irish-American) family would have red hair, but red nonetheless. Roland Deschain 05:20, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Photos, Phonecians and 'Fros
Just explaining a few changes I've made:
- Whoever removed the picture of the Asian guy gave no reason, so I put him back at the top of the page. I like this pic because it clearly shows the hair. I also added the pic of the goth girl, because it seemed relevant to the "Culture" bit (got that pic from the gothic subculture article). I removed the photos of celebs (Pierce Brosnan, John Travolta, Steven Saunders and Elvis Presley) because they didn't really add anything and it was just a long column of pics with no text beside them. Maybe if the article grows they can be added again to give a bit of color.
- I took out the sentence: "This anthropological strain is believed to originate from a mixture between the dark Phoenician settlers and the blue-eyed Celtic invaders." (in relation to black hair in Ireland and Britain). There was no source for this and I find it unlikely that the Phonecians added any significant genes to these populations. Feel free to reinstate the sentence if you find a reliable source.
- I added a bit about hair texture. In particular, I thought the link to afro textured hair was relevant.Fionah 14:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
