Any chance we could have both afro styles?
I'm a little behind when it comes to Sims news. I noticed there was a new afro hairstyle and liked it looked more modern. Then I went to work a little on my Michael Jackson sims based on various point...

I agree. The ‘improved’ hairstyles are very different to the original hairstyles in texture. As I am black with type 4c hair, I appreciate the undefined nature of the original hairstyles. The newer hairstyles look more 4a/4b to me. (For example Bob pancakes improved fro versus his original one). I was very disappointed that the originals were replaced. 4a/4b hair is preferred by some because it is a looser texture and it often overshadows 4c hair in representing black hairstyles because it is looser and more defined.
Hopefully the sims team reads this and add back the original styles in the game. In my opinion they have removed some diversity.
Also, the original kids braided ponytail should be added back into the game (https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/The-New-Versions-of-Children-s-Braided-Ponytail-Were-Added-the/td-p/9866751). Although both styles are similar, as someone who have gotten braids since a child, the styles have noticeable differences especially the root texture. The original style looks more like cornrows on natural hair whereas the improved style looks like braids using extensions. 4c hair braided will not look like the new braided style at the root unless it is pressed or flat iron. I don’t want all my black sims with 4a/4b hair type.
Ultimately, I appreciate the team’s effort in added more Afro/braided styles. I use the improved hairstyles as it adds diversity but I also wish to have the original ones back in game.
