Tight curly hair:
Tight curly or helical hair is intermediate between curly and kinky hair. It is common in North and East Africa, especially among Ethiopids, in Melanesia and parts of the West Pacific, in Madagascar, and in some South Indian, South East Asian, and Australian groups. Geographically, two varieties exist: a regular curvature more frequent in Africa, and an irregular curvature more frequent in Melanesia. African-Americans may show this hair type frequently, like other people of combined Sub-Saharan and European ancestry.
