what does nappy mean?

the state of someone's (specifically a black person's) unkempt hair - as in just woke up from a nap and the hair's a mess

i think ...
 
Have you ever seen or felt a black person's hair? It's not the same as white people's... That's nappy.

Edit: Try to give an average white person an afro. It won't work. You have to have nappy hair to do it.
 
I think anyone can have a nappy head of hair. I've always thought of it as being hairy that is unkempt and dirty. Like if I wear a baseball cap all day and do yard work, then don't shower and go to bed and wake up the next day, I'll have some seriour nappy hair.

But I always thought nappy was spelled knappy?

Coarse and curly, yeah. I've always thought of nappy hair as being synonymous with typical "black" hair. Until the Imus incident happened I never heard anyone try to use it to describe white people's hair.
