A term popular in the African-American community; the typical hair of those of African decent. It is extremely curly/wavy and described as "nappy" and "kinky." It is unmanagable, and is the opposite of good hair. Someone has "bad" hair if it forms tight "beads" in the back of the head. Those with this type of hair typically dye and fry it with chemicals to get it to look like a white woman's hair.

Note: Most people who use this term would never admit the inferiority complex from which it came.

bad hair day 

A bad hair day is also a day when everything is going bad. It has nothing to do with how one's hair really is, it's just that everything is going wrong. The term "bad hair day" derives from how psycho one feels because everything is going all wrong on a particular day!!
