This has nothing to do with weave colour. Ciara's career died down because CrunkNB which was the genre that made her famous died out by 2007. That's basically around the same time R&B music was slowing down in mainstream. EDM and Pop music came back with a resurgence but considering that white artists flourish in the Pop World they got the most push. Look at how R&B releases after that slowed down; Usher's Here I Stand (2008) sold 5 milllion copies as opposed to Confessions (2004) that sold 20 million copies earlier, Alicia Keys The Element of Freedom (2009) sold 4 million copies as opposed to As I am selling 7 million in (2007). Beyonce's 4 (2011) sold 4 million (radio started to ignore her music and haven't really played her that much since 2011) as opposed to I Am Sasha Fierce (2008) selling * million. From late 2008 to present pop music has been dominating the industry along with rap and EDM. Rihanna had massive success because she followed the trend and focused on pop songs= pop hits for her.
