I'm not really sure where I stand on the whole hairstyles being cultural appropriation topic however there is a reasoning there which wouldn't be there if you reverse it. Afros on black people were something that was viewed as ugly and as "bad hair" (especially on black women) in the not so distant past, it's probably a reason why some black women opted to straighten their hair or wear wigs etc, it's an issue white women generally don't face. It must be very annoying for a famous white woman to then come along and wear that style and have everyone say how amazing it is on her
