In a perfect world, yes, but beauty standards have long pushed for straight hair as the norm to the point where a lot of black women begin relaxing their hair very young. There’s also a stigma in a lot of professional settings that natural hair isn’t professional enough, to the point where some office and school policies would ban natural hair styles. Which is why the Crown Act had to be instated in the first place.
It’s gotten better in recent years, a lot more black women including myself are going completely natural. But even then, a lot of people have noted that the natural hair community does still have a “texturism” problem where looser curls and completely slicked edges are preferred. Some hairstylists won’t even work on 4c hair.

Well, I wouldn't say we can just wish it's only a correlation.
With something like this, I honestly think it's good to check, if we can. Unlike with pool drowning and Nicholas Cage movies.

Reply to COVID vaccines and first boosters provided protection to pregnant women during Omicron surge. Looking at unvaccinated women, you still have an increased death rate, and increased neonatal mortality. If you are vaccinated and boosted, especially with a mRNA vaccine, those levels drop by 81%. by Wagamaga

Dogs keeping me up for two years randomly at night but consistent in happening each day brought me to my first attempt. Don't let your dogs keep people awake.

The ones who wear that are usually the ones at the nail station, where the primary risk is from the acrylic dust. They use a tiny dremel of sorts to drill directly into the acrylic and shape it, and that dust gets EVERYWHERE.
I've seen some of the acrylic nail techs wear goggles as well.
The ones who primarily deal in pedicures and such only started wearing masks during the pandemic. They still deal with harsh chemicals (acetone etc) but they can wear gloves to protect their hands at least.

Unfortunately N95 masks offer 0 protection against harmful fumes. Though perhaps as you say it's actually just invisible dust and then they would protect.

Basically, we are dissolving plastic into our oceans.
