A little off topic, but the difficulty of finding a helmet that accommodates black women's natural hair can be even more challenging. It's not a matter of fashion wariness in my wife's case: it's simply the case that helmets big enough to hold her head - dreadlocks and all - are extraordinarily hard to find. She did eventually manage to special-order a triple-extra-large helmet at Daily Rider that does the trick, but she has to wear her hair down to ride and tie it back up after parking if she wants to do any kind of a fancy look.

Veronica Davis recommends using a scarf to tie hair up under a helmet; that might be a boon to any hair texture, with a big enough helmet to accommodate the tied up hair. I imagine it's important then to make sure your hair is tied up in a way that it braces an oversized helmet well.
