I've always wondered about that. The characteristics of the hair are not the same between the two.
Why is this done?

I asked this in 2 sections and still no answer.Why are Asian models featured in most ';African-American Hair Style'; magazines?
Well, for some reason Asian girls carry textured hair well, too. This is coming from a black woman. Take an afro for example, I can see a Japaneese girl wearing one and it looks very flattering .We have different textures but something about this combo works when it comes to hair.Why are Asian models featured in most ';African-American Hair Style'; magazines?
My girlfriend has a lot of African American hair style magazines and I've never seen any Asians in it.
Some of the most traditional hairstyles African American females have (for example braids) cannot be done with Asian hair. Here is another person with no life wanting to start a fight with people on Yahoo.
I've never seen any:

What are you talking about?
Send a link so I can see what you're talking about.
Who knows?
I have never seen asian women in a black hair magazine, except for maybe Kimora. I think when you say MOST african american magazines, that the terminology you used may be wrong. You may see some in a few but most? Which magazines? Not black hair? I used to collect black hair magazines and i have never seen a lot of asian.
I have however seen a lot of latin american women.
The characteristics in the hair arent similar, but a lot of the weave would be similar to the asian texture.
*EDIT*
Barbie a lot of guys perfer asian women better than black women??? Give me a break. Everybody wants a piece of chocolate but only a few have the balls to actually go for it.
Because most black people buy Asian hair. Most black women prefer Asian hair over the rest.
