But I think jewelry or aesthetics in general are different than say a society where kids are forced to undo dreads or cornrows because a different group of people thinks it's bad or unhygienic.

Beauty standards in class society are dictated by the ruling class, and because the ruling class is racist it sets anti-Black standards.

I don't think the concept of standards, themselves, are exclusive to class society. In primitive communism the beauty standards were set by nature, so sea shells would be fashionable by the sea shore while wooden beads would be fashionable by the forest.

Would someone who moved from the sea to the forest keep their shells, or cast them off for beads? Or wear both? Dunno.

This is all to say that, under communism, people will probably still work to maintain an aesthetic for people around them. It'll just be set to a very broad communal standard rather than set by the narrow opinions of the ruling class.
