(which you can find via Google if you look up Black women and natural hair).
As far as Pam's hair goes, the style of her locks could be from how she started them - did she start from virgin hair or from a perm? her hair pattern and the texture of her hair. Locks can be hard to start because not all Black women have the same texture of hair (not necessarily very coarse). They don't look like Sisterlocks but definitely palm rolled. She might be using a product like Sister Kayla's Natty Locks or she could have started them with braids as a base, straight aloe vera gel (like I did mine way back in the day) or any number of ways.
Cynthia McKinney could be rocking a texturizer, which loosens the curl structure or it could be blown out and supplemented with a product like Mixed Chicks, or something from Miss Jessie's
There are different oils and pomades that many different Black women use up in their hair. Some use none at all. But scalp care is important - that will make or break any hairstyle.
