What does ‘woman with good hair’ means? Does “good hair” applies to African women?
So after the passage on ‘MFF’ in my New York Times article, is this article a proof? 29 ), entitled “As State of the Union Nears, Congress Plays Musical Chairs,” I have a question about the meaning of the phrase ‘members of the Senate with seriously good hair’ in the following sentence: Mary
from Louisiana asked Olympia from Maine because they are BFFs. She had a backup in Bob from Tennessee in case she was rebuffed. Kirsten from New York said it was the Sadie Hawkins route and asked John from South Dakota. The deal between two members of the Senate with seriously good hair was sealed.
Is there a positive phrase related to “good hair” in the above sentence? What are atypical African-American hair color as used in Urbandictionary to describe a black
person’s hairs that closely resemble the hair of a typical white person (i.e. black hair prick, brown hair prick). Soft, manageable, long, as opposed to “nappy” or “bad” hair. Doing daily daily maintenance or medication (same day only, for a minimum half a year). Is the closer your hair to white persons, the better your hair will be??
I was confused. Both Sens. Ted Cruz and Sen. Ed Wilkes are former Trump supporters. I feel like the colour of my hair is coming off of me. My Mother (now husband of 18 years) and I’m accustomed to having “white” hair. Can Urbandictionary be mistaken for a “used to describe a black person’s hair”? What does “senators with seriously good hair ” really mean? Is it a praise or does it involve sarcastic insinuation? What is the
value of teaching me something?
The meme of good hair is just as common here in American English. I was going to say faux meme, but no one would forgive that pun. I want to be blonde. TV announcers and politicians. Everyone has a good hair.

Scott Adams’ comic strip Dilbert calls this “executive hair” and this has entered the political vocabulary, at least. When it comes to hair, do some people with “good” hair look lovely, but those who don’t are fine? What are the reasons for that being so hard on people who don’t have hair? Why not ask larry dave?
Of course, bad hair is equal to good hair. The opposite is good hair. Americans even speak of “having a bad hair day” when nothing seems to be going right with their appearance (or their day) in general.
The whole article is sarcastic and borderline absurdist, comparing the functioning of a legislative body to a children’s musical chair, and attributing childish attributes to the participants (such as being “BFFs”, an abbreviation of the childish idea of “Best Friends Forever”, and going the Sadie Hawkins route… refers to a dance in which the traditional roles are reversed and the girl/woman asks the boy/man)
In this case, the “good hair” comment is meant to highlight the lack of depth (in intellectuality or, perhaps, moral character of the participants) as if having “good hair” were somehow an important characteristic for people in high leadership positions. In the context provided, the author may not have meant it as personal criticism directed towards the individuals, but just as an overall sarcastic comment on the proceedings.
As the only “African American” was explicitly referring to the USA nation as “Americanism”. According to what people say about their bad hair, or their good hair, it is true that the phrase “bad hair” (and presumably its opposite, “good hair”) gained currency among the
African American community, but it has long since passed into general usage.
