I have to wonder what it is about skin color that makes hairstyles cultural?

If your hair does something naturally, and mine does the same thing naturally, but we don't have the same skin color, then who is the "aggressor"? And whose culture gets to claim it?

Taking this one step further, would WoC who straighten their hair be guilty of cultural diffusion?
