I would imagine she likely straightens her hair because 1) it's easier to deal with straight than curly, and depending if straightened with an iron or chemically straightened, it would last for at least days (iron) or months (chemically). 2) Natural hair on black women is often viewed as unprofessional, thus many black women choose to straighten their hair. Which is a whole other racist can of worms that we don't need to go into here.

There's a difference between that and what Trump does. Trump is not wearing his hair like that for the ease of styling or because it's more socially/professionally acceptable. Quite the opposite. That ridiculous bouffant is part of his image now.

And really, if the man is as wealthy and powerful as he claims to be, why on earth doesn't he pay a stylist/barber who knows what he/she is doing and why doesn't he find someone who can properly apply spray tan? As a professional in the field, his look is offensive solely because of the utter lack of skill involved in his "look."
