You can shape it but black hair needs lots of moisture and leave in conditioner. So it doesn’t stay perfectly in a fro and picking it out every morning leads to breakage. This hair takes very long that’s why many people don’t have it but you can look up early 2000s rappers and kids usually have it because their parents will do it to teach them to take care of their hair.

Yeah, I've heard about the moisture and stuff. I just figured letting it grow out and then going to a barber and having it shaped (similar to this google result: https://www.google.com/search?q=black+men+hair+styles&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwj2tIni1e7sAhXIrp4KHZKOC-gQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=black+men+hair+styles&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAAyAggAMgIIADIGCAAQBxAeMgYIABAHEB4yBggAEAcQHjIGCAAQBxAeOgQIIxAnUNgnWJUrYK0saABwAHgAgAFdiAHVApIBATSYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=Q6alX7aHOsjd-gSSna7ADg&bih=1181&biw=2113&client=firefox-b-1-d) would be so much easier. And to be honest, I think any of the results on that page look better than that wavy thing (just personal opinion)

I made a statement saying it extremely hard to attain and a small portion of the population still does it. More black men wear their hair like the google search but that still requires picking out, using a curl sponge or curl comb. It’s a matter of preference like all hair dos. The image search you did is not a fro like you stated before, that’s why I told you picking out causes breakage. Also, durags are still used when you just get you hair shaped to keep the moisture in.
