Monica Lambeau is a black woman who for the vast majority of her comic life either had some variation of an afro or dreads or some other hairstyle that doesn't involve massive chemical treatment if you're black. Then Greg Land started drawing her like a every other woman he draws, only with dark skin.

Ewing even called it out while Land was still the artist, having a bystander say "thanks you for helping me to convince my daughter to straighten her hair, she used to complain about the burning."

Tl;Dr black hair is a complicated and political topic.
