🚨 #notjusthair- next time you want to say cornrows, box braids, bantu knots, twists, or Black hair ‘ is just hair'' please think again... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ not too long ago I found myself scrolling through a UK Love Islander's (who will remain nameless lol) feed because she recently had cornrows and there was a lot of backlash... however, as I scrolled through her comments the amount of 'its just hair' comments that flooded her page was just T R I G G E R I N G and you know what... I actually wasn't expecting to feel so triggered but I did. Black hair is not 'just hair', Black hairstyles are not 'just hairstyles'. there is so much history, pain and identity attached to Black hair and tbh, this post is literally just touching the surface and I felt we needed to talk about it. ⚡️if you have any or know of any resources that we can all benefit from please share them in the comments... there is literally so much for us to learn 🙏🏽❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📸: Photo by: @icapturestudios from pexels ⠀⠀ 🖍: Pencil Test illustration by @bethconsettarubel 📹: slide 4 video: Tinde Van Andel @knowyourcaribbean⠀ 📹: slide 9 video: @SkyNews 📹: slide 10 video: @kamillaalbino⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Vibes of a Black Girl C [also slide 5 title is meant to say cultural representation and the last paragraph on slide 7 is meant to start with cultural appreciation 🤦🏽‍♀️ sorry for the typos 😬]
