Curly hair Among Caucasians:
I heard curly hair is very common among the Middle-Eastern Arabs (especially the beduins, about 50% of them have it), Assyrians, and the Jews (it is even a stereotype for them). Jemenies, Omanis, and other Southern-Arabs who dont have afro-mixture have straight hair.
On the other hand Persians, Turks, Kurds and Armenians dont have curly hair (maybe less than 1% (?) among them) .
Curly hair among Southern Europeans: It is said to be common among the Greeks.
In Sicily, I saw many people with curly hair, but the Italians usually have straight hair.
The Spanish people have wavy or straight hair, not many of them have curly hair (the Arabs stayed between 711-1492 in Spain and this means the Spanish people did not mix with the Arabs?). Is it true that the Greeks beat all Southern Europe in curly hair? what % of Greeks have curly hair (20-30%)?
(Curly hair has nothing to do with black-genes. Do you believe that the white Jews who have curly black hair have African blood? It is nonsense, they would be dark skinned)

i find it interesting that curly hair is nearly absent (if not totally) amongst amerindians and east easians. coincidentally or not, theyre the most distant folks from the sub saharan area. leaving out the negritos and other marginal black looking like people from the pacific, curly hair will correlate with proximity to africa (e.g middle east, northern africa and southern europe). the correlation seems to exist indeed.

Levant: curly hair: about 10-30% of Levant people (more in beduins (50-80%) than in the ancient Phoenicians (Lebanese). most of the Levant-people have wavy hair. by curly I mean like this one or less curly (even the very deep wavy hair which turns back in the end and MAKES A CIRCLE is curly): img.photobucket.com/albums/y269/s13m48/curly.jpg

Curly hair is not a negroid trait,and the hair texture is completly different between Caucasoid and Negroids ...
Italians and Sicilians have no difference in hair,lol!

Non- Ethiopian Jews have virtually no Negroid ancestry if i remember correctly, so this alone rules out that connection.
Got my mail by the way, Dallas?

Frenchpeople, Italians, Spaniards, Armenians, Georgians often have curly hair. I thought that Turks have curly hair too.

It's funny you say that b/c I see a lot of mulatto people who have Caucasian-curly hair and a facial resemblance to Spaniards/Italians. I wonder how that is genetically possible.

It's funny you say that b/c I see a lot of mulatto people who have Caucasian-curly hair and a facial resemblance to Spaniards/Italians. I wonder how that is genetically possible. Well, Mediterraneans tend to have slightly fuller lips than northern Europeans (my lips are moderately fuller), and the nasal width is sometimes slightly greater, although I think that's more of an eastern Mediterranean trait. Additionally, mulattos are still part Caucasoid so that probably explains why they can have facial features that are more like European features. Alicia Keyes is a good example, she has Caucasoid features (and her Caucasoid part is Italian I believe), intermediate skin tone, and her curly hair isn't as curly as most full-blooded West Africans.

Curly hair in Caucasoids can occur in any part of Europe, though I've seen it most frequently among the Irish, Scandinavians, and southern Europeans. Among southern Europeans I would have to agree that it's most common among Greeks and Sicilians. Iberians rarely have curly hair from my experience, Italians tend to have either straight or wavy hair (with curly hair a little more common in Sicilians IMO), and Greeks can go any which way.
Of course non-European Caucasoids in the Middle East and North Africa have the highest frequency of curly hair.

Many Faelids (?) have also curly hair. Danny Blind (Holland):
