Eli5 why are black women more used to wear wigs than other women?

Question

Genuine question, is it due to their hair type or is it a cultural/costume thing?

I’ve seen this kind of thing a lot both irl and in movies, tv and showbitz.

I think there is pressure on some black women to have hair that conforms to White Anglo Saxon norms. It’s sad that people judge straight hair to be somehow more professional.
