The word "nappy" comes from a certain derivation to describe Africans who were enslaved. The true designs and shapes of hair from Africans transcend the nascent truth of one's one self-discovery of his or her "roots". Because there was strong salt water interaction on the slave ships the true coiffure was mangled. Then the heads were shaved as well as jewelery and other accouterments of the "savage" nature... So when the kid"napper" and enslaver choose to define your nascent self, know where it comes from and why...

According to this site: http://www.billcasselman.com/wording_room/nappy.htm
Quote:

The word nappy began its life innocently enough as the adjectival offspring of the word nap. Nap is a fuzzy surface layer on yarn or cloth. Nap is teased up or raised higher by brushing the cloth against a rough surface. Our common weed teasel is named because it was used long ago to tease up the nap on cloth. Nap on wool was often shaved off and used to fill pillows. A number of words were brought to England during the 14th and 15th centuries by Dutch weavers who came to Britain to ply their trade. One of these words from Middle Dutch was noppich , ‘nappy’ an adjective referring to cloth that had a fiber-thick surface layer that could be trimmed down or teased up and cut even

And then that this transitioned into talking about African hair.
Unfortunately nearly everything with the word Nappy in a google search comes up Don Imus. But I saw at least one other site that mentioned that the true etymology of the word isn't known.

^^^^-------He is one of the nappiest headed people here....hehehehe
And sadly enough some folks need the word 'nappy' explained to just like they need the word 'ghetto' explained.
This thread reminds me of one of the times I had to 'educate' one of my more 'ig'nant melanin deficient associates on the finer points of that word usage a few years ago in Atlanta....altho no bones were broken....some feelings got seriously hurt.

Wait, the problem was some esoteric historical etymology of "nappy," and not "hoes" or the context of insulting a predominantly black team with gender- and race-based insults based on appearance?
Seriously? What a weird threadjack . . .

The original topic is barely newsworthy and certainly too typical to discuss.
