IDENTITY: KINKS & COILS

Kinky and coily hair in the media is typically presented as men of color in styles like braids and twists, not how it grows out of the head. As a result, kinky hair isn't easy to identify. If you're unsure if your hair is kinky or coily, look at a mirror from a distance. If the reflection of your hair looks as if it forms a large mass with few individual curls, you have kinky hair.
