Why isn't that at least reasonable to consider? None of the hair that you see on her head is actually her's ... her actual hair is very tight to her scalp and if someone doesn't know what they are doing, it would get contaminated.

But that said, I would assume that in New York City, there are enough African American women on the force that this comes up and they know how to get a valid sample from someone with a weave (or, for that matter, a man with a bald/shaved head). If this were a story from rural Virginia where they might have never seen an African American woman before let alone one with a weave, I'd be more inclined to accept it ... but surely there are lots of women in NYC's police force with weaves and they know how to collect a sample from them.
