Yes to African-American women!
Does it matter to you how they wear their hair? I kind of dislike Michelle Obama's type of straightened hair - black hair straightened so much that it is way straighter than the typical straight hair of white women. I do not like that. I like multiple braids, loose curls, afro, and any number of ways African-American or African African women wear their hair, EXCEPT for extreme straightening. What is sad to me that Michelle Obama clearly does it to the elder daughter already. On this picture you can see it. It is not clear what exactly is done to the younger daughter's hair.

So that I do not like at all. I do not like how it looks, I find imagining how it feels to the touch repulsive (after so many chemicals have been applied, the hair looks kind of spiky, as opposed to smooth and silky), but moreover, I simply do not like the idea that Black women have to modify their natural hair so drastically to fit in.
