I think we can all agree that rather than saying there's a race issue, we definitely have a character creation issue. How long have we been asking for Au Ra horns to be a separate option from the face?

One thing that may help is a visual for some of the hairstyles the OP mentioned.

Flat Twist


Cornrows

Box Braids


Senegalese Twist


I just liked this one.


I think we can all get behind having styles like this added.
