Im 98 percent Ashkenazim. My family is extremely tan, middle eastern (Israeli) and every woman in our family (including me) has dark, curly with no curl patterns hair. Its extremely frizzy and an absolute fuss, and I only just discovered the delights of the "ethnic hair care" section for Jewish girls. I always feel like I am stepping a boundary when I talk about the ethnic difficulties of Jews, but I have found a lot of alliance among other minorities when it comes to wanting that "WASP" look and not having it.
