One hairstyle to rule them all: We don’t know how, why, or when this happened, but everyone on TV nowadays has the same hair. As Vox points out, black women, white women, brown women of all hair colors and textures appear on screen with the same straight-on-top and curly at the bottom blow-out. We’re not ashamed to say that some of us didn’t even notice this trend — it kind of crept up on us like the standard formula mainstream / pop songs us that makes them all sound the same.

Apparently, it solves a variety of filming concerns, but we can’t help pointing out that The Hair is boring enough to flatten the rich and pluralistic world of hair, which could lead impressionable youngsters to believe this is the hair you “should” have. And before you think we’re blowing things out of proportion, check out Chris Rock’s documentary Good Hair, or any of these numerous stories (here, here, here, here, and here) about women and girls facing real-life repercussions for their hairdos.
