My right side is so sensitive and hurts so much no matter how slowly i comb it. Also when it do comb it so much hair falls out and the hair on my right side is curlier and not as thick. I am Ethiopian and alot of what ive read abput UHS has been found in people of european descent. Its wierd because i thought i had discovered a medical mystery myself. i dont know how old this article is but for years now since i started doing my hair im 17, started doing my hair since i was 13, i have found that the left side of my hair is straighter can take rougher combing, and wont fall out, but when you get to the right side of my hair its the opposite.

That's what we of the kinky (z pattern) flat hair strands do if we can't bear the look of kinky flat hair strands in a straight circular or oval hair strand dominated world. OR, you just embrace what genetics gave you and rock the hair hair as it is. Thinking of it as a problem will make you treat it like it's a problem instead of the beauty that it can be ... well at least my afro speaks to me and tells me so. Then again, this hair may just be really really special and apart from other types of hair to the point that you just can't treat it like "kinky" hair types. *shrugs* Hey, grow locs or relax it straight or braids or twists if it is such a problem.
