Sure, there might be some damage due to weaves and wigs (and wigs are quite recent in her repertoire), however, let's face it, it is still pretty much her hairline. At least I don't see such a major difference. Unless I am completely blind.
From lookbook.nu, going way back in 2011
And let's remember that this is what she was presenting as her natural hair five years ago. You kind of have to admit that this is a huge step forward in terms of acceptance of her texture and even of the shape of her head/forehead. And that means a lot. Especially if, for example, since childhood her hair has been constantly straightened because to difficult to deal with.

I get it, we are so used to the fact that for years the girl has been cutting of half of her forehead or wearing some kind of bangs, side swept or other, and she had rarely her hair completely up without any strands falling over her face. She can still do plenty of different hairstyles with her natural hair, and as she goes further in her natural hair journey, I am sure she will experiment more.
Moreover, depending on the focal lenght, your face, including the size of your forehead, might appear even bigger and/or wider. Consider this.

I guess I just don't like people saying that textured hair is ugly (no less than horrible according to some) when it is short. Probably same people who were saying how ugly Blue Ivy's hair was few years ago, and now they are over the moon and praising it constantly when it is longer. Let's face it, it just goes to show you Tracee Ellis Ross is still the palatable version of what is accepted and praised or envied in terms of textured hair.
Sidenote, Sammi's hair isn't even that short, if you ask me.
Anyway, I am persuaded that Sam looks way better with her natural hair and her humongous forehead rather than whatever this was and only resulted in making her look way older.
Honestly she looks hella cute with her fro, especially when compared to that blond wig!
